A tale of a wise old dog and an exuberant young pup

La Vuelta 2004 came down, as it so often has, to the final time trial. And it was not until the last two riders, Santi Perez and Roberto Heras set off and were well under way was it clear what the final result was going to be. Roberto Heras, the wise old dog of Spanish cycling, knew into the final third of today's time trial that he probably had it all in the bag. And for sure he knew it when he crossed the finish line on the Paseo del Prado, and raised his right arm from the handlebars to clench his raised fist.

"I knew the times and during the last 8 kms I knew I could enjoy them, well enjoy them as much as you can riding a time trial. I knew I wasn't going to lose another 33 seconds but of course before I started I had some doubts. In the end I could enjoy the win."

Heras and his team managed the situation like the consummate professionals they are. But as we have seen, the journey has not been without its scares. "Before I started today of course I had my doubts. We have seen how incredibly strong Santi Perez has been in this last week and well after yesterday, after what happened on Covatilla of course, I had my doubts but I had to look to my own confidence.

"This last week Santi Perez has made things tough every day, again he did it yesterday in the last two kilometres on Navacerrada. It was a situation that was very difficult for me, those last two kilometres. But it is a matter of both the legs and the mind working. I have learned a lot from my experiences last year and in 2002 when I lost the race in the time trial...I learned a real lot from 2002. I knew today would be a difficult day but I wasn't ever going to let what happened in 2002 happen again. This year I was really clear that I wasn't going to fail because of nerves. So today, once I got going I didn't have any fears about losing the lead."

With this victory Heras has equalled Tony Rominger's record of three Vuelta wins. Rominger won consecutive Vueltas in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Heras told Cyclingnews that his third win was "the most beautiful". The first he said was an "enormous surprise" but this one "was beautiful because my team worked at the limit for me every day from the start of the race. My team has ridden a great Vuelta and we had to after the Tour. We had to come here and recover our form and our mental attitude. We came here from day one with the mission and the hope of winning."

Concerning whether he was going to look for three in a row in 2005, Heras told us that, "For me winning my third Vuelta is great, to figure in the history of the Vuelta is wonderful, but it is nothing more than that. At the moment I am not concerned about winning for a fourth time or winning three in a row. I don't give a lot of attention to records."

The young pup, Santi Perez expressed no regrets. "I came here to ride in support of Hamilton and that couldn't be," the Asturian told Cyclingnews. "I have no regrets about not going to the limit in the Valencia time trial (where he conceded two minutes to Heras) as at that time I wasn't riding for the general. To come here in these circumstances and win three stages and finish second on the podium is a huge success. With this experience I can now go on and think about riding seriously in the Grand Tours. I have a special feeling for the Giro because a few years back I was going well there and had to pull out after a crash...but the Vuelta, the Tour and the Giro all could now be within my sights."

A extremely content Perez continued, "It has been pretty hard. Roberto for me is the better climber, a great cyclist with so much experience. And I give him my congratulations. To find myself in this situation is a dream. I hope to just continue improving like this. The Vuelta is a race I love a lot and it is very special for a rider like me. I knew from the start today that I was not going to win. As the kilometres passed and I saw the times that they were giving me I knew it was very difficult to gain 43 seconds. I went out at the limit and I gave it all. I went to do a good time trial and I did that.

"This result today has opened a lot of doors for me even though I haven't obtained the golden jersey. With only one win I would have been satisfied. But now I am going home very satisfied and happy. The first week I wasn't too good, but Pino and I worked on it. Now I am just going to look for the best way to make the most of my possibilities."

Second in today's time trial was another climber, Francisco Mancebo. With his crab like style, seemingly always on the look out for a chiropractor, Mancebo rode brilliantly to tie up third position on the podium. It was the first time on the podium for Mancebo, who has for a number of years shown a lot of promise but just not quite cut it in one of the grand ones. Mancebo told us after the stage that, "This is a beautiful day for us all. I was confident and at last I have made it to the podium. I hope that I can continue this way in the coming years."

Mancebo's great ride and the poor time trial of Alejandro Valverde ensured his third place. Valverde had to finish 6th in order to equal Erik Zabel in the points classification. Zabel was not too confident before the start telling us, "The Vuelta is really a lot different to the Tour when it comes to the points classification. The fact that the climbers can score so many points makes it hard for us sprinters. One year I had to battle with Jimenez and this year in the end it is Valverde...and I am not good against the clock." But luckily for Zabel, Valverde finished in 14th place, ensuring Zabel's victory.

The mountains jersey was all sewn up yesterday by Baque's Felix Cardenas who spent the morning mobbed by his Colombian fans. The result was timely for the tiny Basque-based team as for once, as manager Erkaitz Elkoribe told us. "Potential sponsors are calling us rather than us chasing them!"

In the other classifications, Heras was also awarded the white combination jersey for the best placed rider in the GC, points and mountains classifications. Heras was 1st, 3rd and 2nd respectively, for a sum of six points. In the teams classification, it was Comunidad Valenciana-Kelme by a country mile (27'22 ahead of Liberty Seguros), a testament to their aggressive style of racing, always placing at least one rider in the breaks.

For now, that's all from CN station La Vuelta. These last three weeks in the heat in Spain have been something special, a race that was fought right down to the wire is certainly a beautiful thing to live.

Hasta proxima.
