Contador secures overall victory
Dumoulin strikes again in final sprint



















Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-SunGard) was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week, as the UCI confirmed it would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the dismissal of doping charges by the Spanish Cycling Federation. However the bad news did not stop the Spaniard winning the Volta a Catalunya, his second stage race victory since his comeback after also winning the Vuelta Murcia earlier this month.
Contador won the key mountain stage in Andorra on Wednesday and then defended is lead during the final three stages to Tarragona, Mollet-del-Valles and Barcelona. He finished 23 seconds ahead of Michele Scarponi (Lampre-ISD), with Ireland’s Daniel Martin (Garmin-Cervelo) an impressive third at 35 seconds.
Christopher Horner (RadioShack) finished fourth, also at 35 seconds in his European season debut. Rigoberto Uran (Team Sky) was fifth at 38 seconds, while Contador’s grand tour rivals Ivan Basso (Liquigas-Cannondale) and Cadel Evans (BMC) where seventh and eighth at 38 and 50 seconds respectively.
Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack) had been second overall before the final stage but was forced to quit the race due to stomach problems. He spent the night in hospital after being diagnosed with a sub-obstruction of his intestine. He tweeted about his surprise retirement, saying: "Really disappointed to fall ill on the last day of Volta Catalunya. Believe me I'd race if I could, but I'm down for the count. Thank you to my Team RadioShack teammates for all their hard work, I'm sorry to let you down!"
French pocket rocket Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis) won the final 124km stage after also winning in Tarragona. He beat Uran and Kenny De Haes (Omega Pharma-Lotto) in the sprint finish.
“It was a tough race, harder than the others, because we had to control things and there were more mountains. The last 4 days were very hard, the breaks formed very late and even I had to go with some attacks,” Contador explained.
“I like racing and when I compete, I give it 100%. I came to test my form and when I felt good on Wednesday in Andorra, I wanted to win. I was happy for myself and for the team.”
Contador will now ride the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon (April 13-17) and then travel to Belgium for Fleche-Wallonne and possible Liege-Bastogne-Liege. His first major goal of the 2011 season is the Giro d’Italia. If the UCI loses its appeal to CAA, he could also return to the Tour de France to seek redemption.
