Stage 2 - March 25: Segovia - Ávila, 141.7km
Kroon fastest in Ávila
|
Team CSC's Karsten Kroon took the top of the all Dutch podium on stage two of the Vuelta a Castilla y León, rocketing to the win at the end of a tough cobbled climb in the final kilometres. Kroon bested Rabobank's Thomas Dekker and Bauke Mollema in the finale. The sprinters spoiled the last-minute attack by Euskaltel-Euskadi's Sammy Sánchez, who attacked up the steepest part of the climb but could not hold the lead.
With no time bonuses on the line, overall race leader Alberto Contador finished in fifth place to hold onto the leader's jersey. The general classification changed little, with only Rabobank's Denis Menchov falling out of the top ten after losing contact on the run-in and finishing 22 seconds behind the leaders. Slipstream moved into the lead on the overall teams classification by finishing five riders in the lead group, overtaking the Astana squad who did the majority of the work to defend Contador's lead.

The Astana team kept a stranglehold on the race for most of the 141.7 kilometre stage. Before the final climb of the day, Ivan Melero and Martin Mata (Burgos Monumental) escaped and were joined by Mikel Nieve (Orbea), Alberto Fernández (Saunier Duval), and José Antonio Redondo (Andalucía), but the move did not last on the category two Alto de la Paramera.
The peloton flew into the streets of Ávila, roads familiar to many of the riders who made it to stage 18 of last year's Vuelta a España, under the firm control of Astana, but as the race headed up the difficult cobbled climb alongside the medieval fortress walls, the attacks began. Euskaltel-Euskadi's Samuel Sánchez put in a promising move, but with too many flat metres after the climb, he was reeled in by the peloton and overtaken in the final kilometre. Kroon took the win by a bike length over Dekker, while Mollema managed to take third on the bike throw ahead of Iker Camaño (Saunier Duval).
