5th GP Rota do Marques - 2.3
Portugal, March 20-23, 2003
Stage 1 - March 20: Covilha-Pombal, 185.7 km
Edo carries on Milaneza glory
Spanish sprinter Angel Edo has continued the run of Milaneza success where David Bernabeu left off in Paris-Nice, with a stage win in the first leg of the GP Rota do Marquês from Covilhã to Pombal. Edo won the bunch sprint in front of LA Pecol's Candido Barbosa and Yon Bru, with most of the peloton finishing in the same time.
The 186 km stage saw a peloton of 98 riders take the start, with the first attack coming after just 5.6 kilometres by Nuno Alves (Barbot-Torrie). He was not immediately chased by the peloton, and built up a maximum lead of 10'06 at the 65 kilometre mark, before his advantage began to drop courtesy of a Milaneza-MSS led chase.
Alves took both mountain primes during his escape, which concluded after 133 kilometres of racing, leaving the still complete peloton with 50 km to go before the finish in Pombal. His teammate Juan Olmo together with Adrian Palomares (Boavista) tried a counter attack some 11 km later, but they were caught after only 9 km out in front.
From then on, the peloton stayed together for the bunch sprint, with Milaneza-MSS and Antarte doing the pace setting. Angel Edo finished off the job with the stage win, and will wear the leader's jersey going into tomorrow's second stage from Pombal to Marinha Grande.
