Stage 5 - May 16: Cangas del Narcea - Oviedo, 164,2 km
Mayo erases deficit to win Asturias
By Martin Hardie
Yesterday I finished the report after stage 4 believing that all things being equal, Cafes Baque's Colombian rider Felix Cardenas would take out the Vuelta a Asturias. After all he had 29 seconds on Haimar Zubeldia and although I said the profile hinted at the possibility of some damage later on I was thinking of the rise of about 100 metres in altitude that comes over the last 10 kilometres. It wasn't much, but it gave some possibility to Zubeldia to try something. Other than that, I was talking up the mere possibility of some excitement on a Sunday's afternoon closing stage.
I have also probably been giving Mayo a bit of a push over the last week - I don't claim to be unbiased but I also sense something is going on that might be worth taking note of. But no matter how much I like Iban Mayo's style, one thing for sure was that I was not going to claim that Iban Mayo had a chance of taking this Vuelta, even if he lay third at 46 seconds behind the Colombian Felix Cardenas, who as we saw in last year's Vuelta a España, is no slouch.
Other than the little rise over the last 10 km, the final part of today's course was rolling with some short sharp inclines good for skirmishing. In the perspective of things in Spain, and especially up north in Asturias, Cantabria or Pais Vasco, it was basically flat with no real change in altitude and with nothing that you might think would cause a fatal fracture in a pro peloton. Especially by one man off solo.
If it was earlier in the stage, you might think a break might be able to go away on this sort of profile, but if they did, an organised peloton would have no trouble reeling them back in. Today an early break did form, and it was this that started to cause the change that took place over the day's stage.
Immediately before the only categorised mountain of the day, the Cat. 3 Rodical which fell at kilometre 29, a group of eleven moved off the front. At one stage they managed to follow through with a gap of five minutes. Included in the group were the day's eventual stage winner, Miguel Martin Perdiguero (Saunier Duval), Paco Mancebo (Illes Baleares) and importantly for what followed, Gorka Gonzalez (Euskaltel Euskadi). The continuous bumps along the way caused the group to slim whilst at the same time behind, it caused Cafes Baque to bit by bit lose control of the unruly peloton. Today there was no hope of the customary triumphant ride to the finish for the overnight leader Felix Cardenas and his team.
The something unexpected happened, not long after the final Meta Volante of the stage in Cudillero with about 50 km left to go, Iban Mayo launched an attack over a steep cobbled rise that no one in the world could follow. Little by little, he limited the difference between himself and the escapees, and little by little he increased the difference between himself and the yellow jersey group.
At the same time Gorka Gonzalez got the order to sit on in the break and wait for his team leader. When Mayo reached them Gonzalez went to the front and drove full steam for five kilometres or so. With his effort, Mayo was made the leader of the Vuelta on the road. Mancebo and Perdi where the only ones capable of hanging in with Gonzalez and Mayo, who after having achieved his task, fell away to let Mayo drag the others into Oviedo and the finish. Mayo had pulled it off and in doing so didn't contest the stage victory, which featured another short sharp incline where Perdi powered to the line with Mancebo following for second.
A shattered peloton rolled in some two minutes and three seconds later, confirming Mayo's second stage race victory in two weeks and his third single day victory in that same time. Add to that his "disappointing" second in last Sunday's time trial in Alcobendas. Not a bad week in the office.
The question is, has Mayo transformed himself from being what was described by some as a "pure climber" into a man for all seasons so quickly? Who knows, but there is a hint of it in his efforts of late. The other question is, can he hold the form? He has said that he hasn't peaked yet. Today he said after the race that his effort today was not easy but neither was it that hard! Unlike last year were he had to ride like crazy from day one to ensure his team a place in the Tour, this year Mayo will not arrive for the appointment in France in fear of burning out. He has picked his races wisely up until this point and it appears he will continue to do so. From here on in he will take a break and then ride himself into July with his attendance at the Dauphine.
