Casero scores a double
 |
Paternina-Costa de Almeria's Rafael Casero has taken the leader's jersey in the Vuelta Valenciana after a gutsy lone win in the second stage from Xorret del Catí to Vila-Joiosa. The 26 year old Spaniard, brother of 2001 Vuelta winner Angel, set off with two others on a suicide break after only 7 km. Achieving a maximum lead of 9'30, he held on to win by 41 seconds. Bram de Groot (Rabobank won the bunch sprint from Miguel Martin Perdiguero (Domina Vacanze), while on GC, Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) slipped to second overall behind Casero.
The second stage of the Vuelta Valenciana was expected to be tough, containing one Cat. 2 and two Cat. 1 climbs. With Dario Frigo in yellow after his stage 1 time trial win yesterday, it was up to Fassa Bortolo to keep things under control today. They didn't, as it turned out.
After only 7 kilometres, the break of the day escaped, containing Rafael Casero, Juan Miguel Cuenca (Kelme) and Rafael Mateos (iBanesto.com). The three covered 41 kilometres in the first hour, and their gap was up to 9'30 at the top of the Puerto De Tudons (km 42.3), where Casero took the points ahead of Cuenca and Mateos.
After that, the peloton decided it was time to mount some form of chase, seeing as though it wasn't an overly long stage. However 40 km later the gap was still hovering at 8 minutes, although in the break, Mateos was feeling the effects and dropped off. Casero and Cuenca continued in front, as Fassa Bortolo stepped up the tempo.
Over the second Cat. Alto De Confrides (km 105), Casero again took the points and pretty much established himself in the mountains jersey. He had dropped Cuenca on the climb and was 5'14 in front of the peloton at the top, with 50 km of the stage remaining. It seemed as though he would be caught, although it would be touch and go.
Casero kept going and crossed the final climb of the day (Alto de Tudons again, km 118) with a gradually shrinking lead. With 25 km to go it was 2'44, with 20 km it was 2'33. He was losing ground but not quickly enough, and it was downhill all the way to the finish. Importantly, the peloton had been reduced to just 34 riders, and there was little organisation in the chase.
With 10 km to go, Casero still had 1'50, and that was more than enough for him to put his head down and charge for home. His final winning margin was 41 seconds, which put him in the lead by 4 seconds. Now the question remains, will he have the strength to defend it over the next three days?
