Zanotti dupes Zabel, Zberg into yellow jersey
Stage set for mountain showdown
By Chris Henry
 |
The third sprint finish in three days of racing saw Italian Marco Zanotti (Fassa Bortolo) out-muscle Erik Zabel, while yesterday's winner Beat Zberg took command of the overall lead. Zabel looked set to repeat his stage one victory, following leadout man Danilo Hondo into the final turn before the line. Today wouldn't be Zabel's day, however, as the combination of a slightly uphill finish and the surprise appearance of Zanotti passing on his right caused the German to pause his sprint and lose a crucial bike length's advantage on the way to the line.
The profile of the first three stages of the Setmana Catalana have been roughly the same. Several mountain climbs, none too significant to shape the general classification, and sufficient distance from the final summit to the finish to allow the sprinters' teams to control the race and arrive at a bunch sprint. Yesterday's inclusion of the Cat. 1 Alto Sant Pere de Rodes was enough to keep Zabel out of the action, but a 60 strong group still contested the sprint finish in Empuriabrava.
Today's stage took in two climbs: the Cat. 2 Alto Santuari dels Angels and the Cat. 3 Alto Sant Feliu de Codines., again situated some 25 km from the finish. The bunch arrived almost entirely intact at the finish, following several attacks throughout the day. Chief among the restless was CSC's Andrea Tafi, honing his attacking form in advance of the April World Cup classics. Tafi put in two strong attacks, first with Francisco Cerezo (Labarca2-Café Baqué), then again with a larger group including Bobby Julich (Telekom), Santiago Perez (Phonak), Javier Pascual Llorente (Kelme), and Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (ONCE).
Unlike stage 1, when Telekom remained largely hidden until the final kilometres, today the German train took responsibility to chase the last lingering attack, which after the final climb of the day included US Postal's David Zabriskie, Juan Fuentes for Saeco, Kelme's Jordi Riera, José Luis Arrieta of iBanesto.com, and Angel Castresana of ONCE. Telekom continued to drive at the head of the race for much of the final 25 km, with the occasional help of the Gerolsteiner and Lampre squads.

The bunched up field fanned out across three lanes for several kilomtres as the parcours joined the autoroute, but once the riders hit local streets the pace rocketed and the jockeying for position began. Danilo Hondo moved his man Zabel into perfect position, but the tactics weren't enough to stop Fassa Bortolo's Zanotti from charging to the line and overcoming the Germans.
Beat Zberg took over the race lead thanks to his consistent sprinting, but with 60 riders holding the same GC time, the stage is truly set for the tomorrow's pivotal mountaintop finish on the Coll de Pal. Riders like Dario Frigo, Lance Armstrong and Gilberto Simoni will all be looking to test their form en route to bigger goals in the grand tours to come.
