Stage 5 - August 15: Aranda de Duero - Burgos, 150 km
Gorka gets his first, Lastras seals iBanesto streak
By Chris Henry
Gorka Gonzalez recorded his first professional victory with great gusto today, beating three breakaway companions with a well-timed counter attack within 2km of the line in Burgos. The Euskaltel-Euskadi rider outfoxed Dave Bruylandts (Marlux), Juan Fuentes (Saeco), and Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (ONCE-Eroski) at the end of a fast 150km parcours.
The iBanesto.com team controlled the race effectively, allowing the break it's head but guarding Pablo Lastras' overall race lead. In doing so, iBanesto notched its fourth straight victory in the Vuelta a Burgos, with a different winner each year.
This year's Vuelta a Burgos was a race for breakaways, and the final stage was no exception. A series of modest climbs helped a group go clear mid-stage, including Kelme's Oscar Sevilla, who spent the first half of the season sidelined by injury. US Postal Service put Roberto Heras in the move, but the day would be decided by the more aggressive riders such as Gonzalez, Fuentes, and a rejuvenated Dave Bruylandts, who once again did all he could to force a selection then try for a second stage victory.
Bruylandts took the climbing points on every summit except the day's first, and on the penultimate climb, the second ascension of the Alto de Arroyo, he helped force the pace in the break along with Gonzalez and Fuentes. Gonzalez continued the attack on the descent, and as Gonzalez de Galdeano scrambled across the gap, the winning move was formed. The quartet worked well to gain a small but sufficient gap over the first chase group, with over two minutes still in hand on the main field.
Into the final 10km, the break looked set to fight out the final stage win, but as the cat and mouse games began the more efficient chase group began to pull them back. Gonzalez de Galdeano was the first to test the legs his three companions, attacking under the 5km to go banner but lasting little more than a minute or two. Fuentes was the next to go, and as Gonzalez de Galdeano lingered behind the group, perhaps preparing for a second move, Bruylandts did most of the work to bring the group together once more.
It came as no surprise when Gorka Gonzalez wound up his legs to attack as Fuentes was caught, but the young Basque had enough juice left in his legs to get the gap he needed, and Bruylandts was stuck chasing one attack too many. As the three chasers looked at each other, Gonzalez put his head down and pushed himself all the way to the line, when with a few precious seconds still in his pocket, he pumped his arms emphatically in the air to celebrate his first ever win. For Bruylandts, a stage win and both the points and mountains jerseys were compensation for a missed chance on the race's final stage.
The remainder of the original break came home 48 seconds later, with Domina Vacanze's Martin Perdiguero easily taking the sprint. Perdiguero's teammate Daniele Bennati took the field sprint half a minute later, and Lastras safely crossed the line with a prestigious Spanish stage race to add to his Tour de France stage victory for 2003. Nearing the end of its sponsorship run, iBanesto.com showed it had plenty of fight left, and will be a team to watch in the upcoming Vuelta a España in September, with several riders capable of targeting a high placing in the general classification.
