Vuelta a Espana - Stage 7
Smowz
Top  #1 Print Post

The first set of mountain stages are over and we have a run of four flattish stages as the Vuelta heads northwards to the Pyrenees.

Today's stage is a fairly long one and it is difficult to say whether it will be one for a breakaway or one that will end in a sprint. Certainly before the mountains began we had two sprints and despite the eliminations there is probably the firepower in the pack to chase. There are a few more teams without a sprinter or a high GC man also though so expect plenty of break attempts.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/1-thebreak.jpg

We get attacks from the gun i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/sonyericson.png Jakub Danacik leads them as we head uphill for our first intermediate sprint.

Joining him at this stage is

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wiggle.png Aleksej Kunshin
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Brent Bookwalter

The first sprint sees Vaugranard take it ahead of Banos Ballester and Kunshin. Now we are at the seventh stage and these sprints are becoming increasingly worthless and the riders know it as they just simply roll through them.

The stage win though is still prized and Webeffect are really fearful of a break having its own way and are chasing this down. Surprisingly i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/webeffect.png Emanuele Sella is being used to chase riders down.

Another break goes away though as soon as it's caught containing Weiss, Danacek, Vaugranard, Di Luca, Berthou,Banos Ballester, Kunshin, De Gendt, Bookwalter and Sokolov from the original break as well as four new faces:
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/nestle.png David Loosli
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bacardi.png Matej Mugerli
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ubs.png Florian Stalder
and
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/warnerbros.png Antonio Colom Mas

Again the intermediate sprint causes barely a ripple of excitemnet within the break with Stalder rolling through ahead of Banos Ballester and Sokolov. The break has established itself now and lead the pack by four or so minutes with 100km to go.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/2-IntothecitiesinMurcia.jpg

The third sprint see's Loosli roll over first ahead of Kunshin and Stalder but more importantly the gap with 75km to go is six minutes. This is going to be a test to chase down over this rolling terrain. Webeffect are still at the chasing with Carmuese playing their hand also.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/3-Thepackchasing.jpg

As the kilometres count off so does the breaks lead, with 40km to go the gap is 3.30 and 20km to go it is down to 1.30. Despite some late digs it is comfortably caught as you can see Sella is the man making the catch.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/4-Berthoulastcuaght.jpg

The two teams who have chased today have been Webeffect and Carmuese and as you would expect both teams try to start trains i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/webeffect.png Webeffect go with Rodrigues, Bontenackets and Avelino whereas i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/carmeuse.png Carmuese go with Weylandt, Caethoven and Roelandts.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/5-thetwotrains.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/proximus.png Mark Cavendish takes a big gamble by going with the unproven Webeffect train. Whereas the dangerous i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bacardi.png Michael Van Stayen goes with the Carmuese win along with just about every other sprinter in the race:
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ubs.png Maximiliano Richeze
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Tyler Farrar
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/festina.png Dan Holloway
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/nestle.png Nolan Hoffman
and
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Juan Pablo Forero

As we hit 3km to go, it is clear that Carmuese have got this sprint train thing well oiled.
i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/6-Carmuesegetupperhand.jpg

Realising that Roelandts is the wheel of choice Avelino, Van Stayen and Cavendish follow the Belgians wheel closely.
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/sonyericson.png Cameron Meyer has got up to Cavendish's wheel.

The failed Webeffect train riders sweep across blocking Holloway and Forero, the red jersey of i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/santander.png Angel Madrazo has popped into view also.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/7-SprinterscrowdaroundRoelandts.jpg

As they approach the kite Holloway has pulled himself, Hoffman, Forero and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/proximus.png Alejandro Valverde forward.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/8-VanStayenstartsabitearly.jpg

Van Stayen decides to kick on as Roelandts is waiting to the last minute to make his move, Avelino as ever seems to have no extra acceleration. Meanwhile Holloway, Hoffman are coming around squeezing Cavendish for room.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/9-Roelandtsstartsabitlate.jpg

Roelandts starts to move but he isn't making any impression at all only looing to hold off Holloway and Hoffman. Up front Richeze and Farrar have been towed by Van Stayen away.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/10-Heisntmakinganyheadway.jpg

Neither can attempt to come round and the Bacardo rider takes his second stage win of the race and likely the points jersey to boot.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/11-EasywinforVanStayen.jpg

Farrar pips Richeze for second, which isn't a bad result at all for a rider considered a lead out at the beginning of the race. Roelandts holds for 4th and Cavendish squeezed through for 5th.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Vuelta/12-Roelandts4thandCav5th.jpg

Hoffman is 6th, Holloway 7th, Valverde 8th and Madrazo comes home for 9th ahead of Avelino, Caethoven and Forero.

Stage results
A straight forward sit behind the best sprint train win for Van Stayen. Roelandts let his team down a bit there.

Points
Van Stayen takes ther jersey, you fancy he will have to keep winning or at least podiuming these sprints with Madrazo and Valverde involving themselves in chasing stage ending points. Roelandts and Cavendish still have chances but will need to win some stages.
