Astana's Jose Luis 'Chechu' Rubiera won the second stage of the Vuelta a Murcia on a day when most of the peloton wanted to quit racing. With snow falling on the final climb of the day, the category one Alto de Collado Bermejo, and strong winds, rain and sleet buffeting the riders after the start in Calasparra, the group staged a brief protest early in the race asking for the stage to be cancelled.

The organisers eventually convinced the racers to forge ahead, and mother nature took pity on the riders by clearing the skies. A group of 12 riders containing the race favourites prevailed over the final two climbs of the day to contest the finish in Totana. Rubiera launched his move with three kilometres to go, holding off the charge by Spaniard Aitor Perez (Extremadura-Grupo Gallardo), who took over the lead on the general classification, and Tinkoff's Vasili Kiryienka.

"What a day. We were so close to cancelling this stage," said a happy Rubiera after the stage. "It was dangerous in the peloton. With a few riders, and I was one of them, we wanted to cancel the stage after 40 kilometers. We stopped riding, but after a short discussion, we went further. I don't regret it any more." The riders had good reason to be unhappy about the abysmal weather conditions which saw winds up to 80kph and a mix of wintry weather.

After a tense start to the stage, the riders agreed after the protest to roll out for the first part of the stage without attacks to stay safe in the high winds until they could reach a part of the course where the roads were more sheltered. A group of five riders detached themselves from the peloton on the daunting ascent of the Alto de Collado Bermejo with just over 30 kilometres remaining. Alberto Contador (Astana), Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone), Alejando Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne), Ricardo Serrano (Tinkoff) and Ezequiel Mosquera (Karpin Galicia) were joined on the descent by seven more riders including Rubiera and Perez.

The dozen riders rolled into the streets of Totana with more than a minute on the next chasing group. Still, they faced a difficult uphill finish, which played into Rubiera's strengths. "Three kilometres from the finish was the perfect moment to attack," Rubiera said of his move from the group containing two of his Astana team-mates. "Toni Colom didn't feel strong enough to attack. Neither did I, but I tried. And it worked!" Colom and Alberto Contador finished seventh, six seconds behind in the group with last year's champion Alejandro Valverde.

Rubiera, who announced that he will retire at the end of the season after a strong Tour of California, will not change his plans now that he's scored victory. "It is super nice to stop with these feelings. It is time to do something else. The decision has been made. Definite for sure."

Rubiera now sits in second place in the general classification, on the same time as Perez, who finished third on the first stage. Tinkoff's Alexander Serov put distance into his sprint competititors by scoring a first and second place in the intermediate sprints, while Julian Sanchez Pimienta (Contentpolis - Murcia) took over the lead in the mountains classification with the win atop the Alto de Espuña.
