Davis shows his class
Australian Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros-Würth), Erik Zabel's favourite, outsprinted the leading German Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) today in a bunch arrival in the town of Fortuna. Antonio Salomone from team Barloworld placed third.
"We worked perfectly again today," Gerolsteiner DS Udo Bölts said after the stage. A breakaway of four riders (Maxime Monfort (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago), Juan José Cobo (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Niels Scheuneman (Rabobank) and Antonio López (Kaiku) escaped from the first kilometre on and stayed clear of the peloton until 10 km before the finish line. In the meantime, the riders had to cross two Cat 3 climbs before speeding up under the guidance of Gerolsteiner and Liberty to catch the break. David Cañada (Saunier Duval-Prodir) and Jurgen Van De Walle (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago) tried to solo to the finish but weeren't given any chance to succeed, so the peloton arrived "groupé". Davis, who placed second behind leader Hondo on the first stage of the Vuelta a Murcia, could finally show his class and beat the winner of yesterday's time trial.
Meanwhile, the Gerolsteiner sprinter is hoping to conserve his leader's jersey until Sunday. Tomorrow's 152,3 km long stage theoretically involves a mountain finish, but the last six kilometres are closed due to bad weather at the moment. If the weather situation does not improve, the stage will have to be shortened. "Danilo should be able to follow the others on the shortened climb," his directeur sportif said.
