Lampre-Fondital
sprinter Daniele Bennati has won the opening stage of the
Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana in Spain, beating Milram's
Alessandro Petacchi.
Both
Italian sprinters came head to head at the end of the 162.7
kilometer opening stage that started and finished in Alzira.
Third across the line was Vicente Reynes from the Spanish
Caisse d'Epargne team, all on the same time.
Lampre-Fondtial
together with the Milram team of Petacchi hit the front
5 kilometers from the line controlling the race for their
top sprinters. Together they pulled at the front keeping
the pace high to deter any attacks in the closing stages.
Then with 450 meters to the line Bennati latched onto the
rear wheel of Petacchi, timing his effort to perfection
and passing his to take the stage and the first leaders
jersey of the race that came with it.
Commenting
after the stage Bennati said on lampre-fondital.com, "The
perfect sprint! The team was great and help me to obtain
this victory, that I fell like a little revenge for the
three second places obtained in Tour Mediterraneen. The
second stage could be a good chance to try to repeat this
good result."
Second
placed Petacchi said, "I was a bit tired and waited too
long to start the sprint."
