Zabel succumbs to the climbing, Zberg takes sprint
By Chris Henry
Although today's stage 2 featured four categorised climbs, two more than the opening stage, the 25 km distance from the final summit to the finish once again provided the opportunity for a bunch sprint. There no was no replay of yesterday's sprint, however, as race leader Erik Zabel was among those who did lose contact with the field on the first category Alto de Sant Pere de Rodes. A number of other sprinters did make the selection, and it was Rabobank's Beat Zberg who took the victory in an animated push to the line, ahead of Juan Antonio Flecha (iBanesto.com) and Gonzalo Bayarri (Phonak). After his fourth place finish yesterday, Bayarri slipped on the leader's yellow jersey as overall leader.
An early break started things off today, as Oscar Laguna (Relax Colchon-Fuenlabrada) and Xavier Tondo (Paternina-Costa de Almeria) set off on a day-long escape. ONCE's Marcos Serrano tried his own move on the final climb, the Alto de Sant Pere de Rodes, but failed to bridge to the two leaders, who seemed to be all but forgotten by the peloton and the television cameras. During the climb, the leaders in the peloton who might figure later in the general classification began to show their faces. Notably, Fassa Bortolo's Dario Frigo and US Postal's Lance Armstrong stayed close to the front of the pack. Frigo continued his own efforts, leading the charge on the first part of the descent.
As the peloton plunged down the Sant Pere de Rodes, riders once again tried to start new moves, but few could gain any ground on the fast moving field of around 60 riders. Phonak's Oscar Pereiro did eventually get a gap, but it was short lived and the Spaniard was swept up as the field hit the flat roads with some 15 km left to race. Juan Antonio Flecha tried a brief counter attack, but into a headwind his move was short-lived. With 12 km to go, the forgotten duo of Laguna and Tondo gave each other a knowing nod of appreciation for a long day's work, before being swept up by the first peloton.
As Erik Zabel and his trusty Telekom lieutenant Danilo Hondo languished in a small group nearly two minutes behind the main field, Rabobank decided to take charge up front and drive on to the finish. The Dutch team's leader, American Levi Leipheimer, stretched his legs marking an attack from Francisco Lara (Coast) with 5 km to go, but with additional chasing from the ONCE squad, this move too was reeled in.
With the stage set for another bunch sprint, the stage win was wide open in the absence of Telekom's Zabel. Consolidating his team's hard work in the closing kilometres, Rabobank's Zberg charged to the front and held off Flecha and Bayerri to grab a satisfying victory. With more climbing awaiting in the coming days, GC contenders Armstrong, Frigo, and Leipheimer, who had each shown hints of their form throughout the day, sat out the sprint and moved quietly to the team buses. Their time will come soon enough.
