Valverde unchallengeable

By Martin Hardie

Alejandro Valverde imposed his dominance again today in the second stage of the Vuelta a Burgos, winning a bunch sprint up a 500 metre ramp in the wine centre of Aranda de Duero. Valverde didn't make the gap he did yesterday in the final metres but he was again decisive and unchallengeable in the finish.

Valverde led out the peloton as it swallowed the last of the day's escapees, Liberty's Luis Leon Sanchez, at the 300 metre to go mark. Sanchez was the lone survivor of a 14 man break that left the shelter of the peloton after the race had passed 40 km. The break initially consisted of Fertonani, Van Goolen, Zinetti, Zaballa, Zandio, Van de Walle, Latasa, Sanchez, Albizu, Nardello, Cordellini, Koldo Gil, Nocentini, Pascual and Torres. The difference was never huge, getting up to about 4'30, and a wary peloton did its best not to let such a large group stay away for too long. After some 85 km of being away, the peloton regained control of all of the escapees save for Jurgen Van Goolen, Jurgen Van de Walle and Luis Sanchez.

For the next 30 or so kilometres the three worked together keeping their gap up over two minutes. But as they passed through the famed and fabulous Ribiera de Duero vineyards and neared the finish in Aranda de Duero, their coordination and trust became a little suspect. Sanchez seemed to be sitting up or at least taking a look behind and trying to get in contact with his car. Behind, from the air, the peloton, with Txente Garcia Acosta marking the pace for Illes Baleares, was shaped like a giant tadpole, a fat head followed by a long thin, flowing tail.

As Saunier Duval and Illes Baleares shared the load at the front Van Goolen took the opportunity to attack his break away partners. He was chased down by Sanchez and the move spelled the end of any communal effort at the front. It didn't take long for Sanchez to return the favour and he jumped down the road as the peloton came within 40 seconds of him and his partners. The young Liberty rider who has picked up some impressive wins this season quickly got into a relaxed aero position with his hands resting, draped over the centre of the tops and moved away.

Meanwhile, as Sanchez consolidated his gap the peloton passed through a narrow curve between two houses in the village of Berlanga de Roa, at the rear was a conspicuous little crash that left a Vlaanderen rider and Paco Mancebo on the floor. Mancebo was worse for wear and sat in pain holding his left wrist as a couple of his teammates tried to assist. He managed to get back on his bike but finished late and with injuries to his wrist and elbow that would need to be x-rayed.

Sanchez looked good and relaxed as he held a steady 39 second gap on the peloton whilst Van Goolen and Van de Walle had been consumed. With 10 km to go, more teams were moving up to assist with the chase, Baque, LPR, Vlaanderen and Saunier most prominent with a few Libertys mixed in to mess things about.

Over the next 5 km, Sanchez only lost 8 seconds of his lead and when he passed under the five to go banner holding a 31 second gap, Paternina and Kelme, in the form of Valverde were prominent in the hunt by this stage. As the race entered the outskirts of the town, the gap was starting to fall, but not massively - with three to go it was still at 22 seconds. Under the two to go banner and a Euskaltel rider sought to bridge - Sanchez was holding 15 seconds. The peloton sucked in the orange attempt with one to go and Sanchez had a slender 9 seconds with which to try hold his ground - the run in had been flat but the last 500 metres kicked up to the finish. The peloton was agitated with riders moving around trying to get up and kick things along. As the ramp started the Baleares boys were pulling hard and then all of a sudden it was over for Sanchez. As he was caught Valverde started his sprint and none could hold his wheel, let alone come around him. Phonak's Alex Usov and Paternina's Jon del Rio had a good try but couldn't reach this week's jolly green giant.

With his current form Valverde should be in with a good shot this coming weekend in Donostia for the Classica San Sebastian and also looks like he has placed himself amongst the favourites for this month's complicated Olympic road race. Whether he can hang on to the GC in Burgos really only depends upon how well the rest of the field climb tomorrow in the queen stage up to the special category Lagunas de Niela.
