Stage 3 - May 22: Lerma - Almazán, 164.3 km
A sprint for Perdiguero
By João Cravo
Miguel Martín Perdiguero (Domina Vacanze-Elitron) knows what kind of cyclist he is and what kind of rider he wants to be: a sprinter. On many occasions, he has said that the sensations he feels when beating the specialists in a bunch sprint are something truly special. A sprinter in his heart, Perdiguero can also beat mountain goats in their own habitat, like he did last February at the top of the cat. 1 of Alto Del Campello in the Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana. There he beat Frigo, Bernabeu, Vinokourov, Boogerd, Moos, Perez, Millar, Evans and the late Kivilev, among other top climbers.
Today Perdiguero was a happy sprinter after winning stage 3 of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon that was held in fine weather between Lerma and Almazan over 164.3 km. The stage was run at a fast pace, with 49.3 km covered in the first hour. A couple of kilometres previously, Laurent Brochard had taken the first Meta Volante in Salas de los Infantes, collecting three more points in the classification he seems determined to win.
Two Colombian riders from 05 Orbitel, Javier Zapata and Félix Cardenas, crossed the Cat. 3 climb of Alto de Castrillo in the leading positions, having covered 57.5 km. At 61 km, the break of the day was formed when Unai Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Iñigo Chaurreau (AG2R) left the company of the peloton.
At km 85.8, the two fugitives crossed the cat.3 climb of Alto de Perondillo 2'30" in front of Julen Fernandez (Euskaltel) who was leading the peloton. The Venezuelan Etxebarria was the first to the top of this, the second climb of the day. 27 km later, Etxebarria was once again the first to the top of another Cat. 3 climb. The peloton under the leadership of Zapata reached the Alto de Abejar 2'20" after the two leaders.
The climbs were not sharp enough to slow the rhythm of the race down significantly, and so the average speed in the third hour still was high: 45.1 km/h. As the finish line approached, the peloton sped up as is normal, through the action of the sprinters teams and the GC leader's team.
With 20 km to go Chaurreau was the new virtual leader. But iBanesto.com rode hard behind him and Fernandez to try and keep the yellow jersey in their ranks. Within 10 km, the advantage of the two escapees dropped from 1'15" to just 37". By then Chaurreau wasn't the virtual leader anymore.
The peloton needed another 5 km to reduce to ashes the long effort of Etxebarria and Chaurreau. In the final sprint the Norwegian Thor Hushovd couldn't repeat his stage 1 victory, and was beaten by Perdiguero on the line.
