Valverde screams to the top

By Martin Hardie

Alejandro Valverde (Comunidad Valenciana-Kelme) screamed up and away from his companions in the last 200 metres of the ascent of the Cat. 1 Altotero to take the opening stage of this year's Vuelta a Burgos. Valverde along with Saunier's Leonardo Piepoli and Jonathan Gonzalez of Costa Almiera-Paternina were the main protagonists on the relatively short but brutal finish which saw the complete peloton reduced to rubble in a motivated final five kilometres that led to a select group coming to the final 500 metres set for an uphill sprint. But Valverde surprised them all and even given his strong attacking and following on the slopes he had some left to leave everyone clearly behind his wake at the end.

The day's break was constituted by Relax's Moisés Dueñas and Marco Fertonani of Phonak. They got away after 30 km and at the 83 km mark managed to build themselves up a lead of more than seven minutes. As the peloton set its course for the foot of the climb near the village of Poza de la Sal, Saunier Duval and Illes Baleares had control of the head of the peloton. With the climb looming and 16 km to go Chocolade Jacques and Cafes Baque chimed in and the gap was down to 1'44 and falling quick.

One Baque rider moved off the front of the peloton, as the road changed nature from a two lane blacktop and became, as it dropped down winding to a valley and the foot of the Aletero, a narrow dead looking grey tarmac. The Baque fling merely served to punctuate the changing of the guard as the front of the peloton swelled with the dark blue of Liberty Seguros and they drove the stray down, continuing on to set an almighty pace right into the first ramps of the ascent.

Through Poza de la Sal Alan Davis was setting a strong rhythm for his teammates - Serrano, Gil and Giampaolo Caruso; such that at least half of the peloton was shelled out the back before the most difficult steps were reached. The first attack was to be significant and proved to get rid of many whom Davis had not shed but had put into doubt. Valverde drove, out of the saddle in the big chainring, standing slowly but effortlessly turning the big gear. He quickly made a definitive gap and it was a moment before Piepoli reacted and set of after his wheel. Behind what had been half the race now had dwindled to no more than a dozen, led in their pursuit by Alberto Martinez. Despite the efforts of Martinez and soon Serrano and Menchov the gap was steady. It was only when Vladimir Karpets cruised to the front to take control were Valverde and Piepoli controlled.

With a front group of about ten riders, it was the turn of Paternina's Jonathan Gonzalez. The young Basque rider has already picked up two heroic mountain top wins this season and was intent on gaining another. As he moved away it was only Valverde who immediately reacted and bridged. The thinning group followed. Over the third last kilometre the Saunier riders worked to get the bridge built, they managed that and into the final kilometre it was looking like a small uphill bunch sprint, perfect for the unbeatable Perdi. But Valverde was too quick, jumping with a bit over 200 metres to go he drove a big gear up the final ramp and arrived having time enough to sit up, look around, adjust glasses and jersey, give a salute and kiss the crowd. "Remember me? I'm back!!" was the look.

There were some notable losers as the race split, but still a host of fine pedallers left in front: Juan Carlos Dominguez, Piepoli and Perdi for Saunier, Serrano and Caruso for Liberty, with Karpets, Martinez and Gonzalez all there to say their piece in fighting out the remaining three stages. Notable after a good finish on Sunday and showing today he also has some pedigree Colombian climbers legs was Mauricio Ardila of Chocolade Jacques.

Tomorrow is a flatter stage but as always in Spain the wind and at the present moment the sun could play a significant factor in causing another selection.
