Alejandro Valverde (Kelme-Costa Blanca) has won his second stage of the Vuelta, beating mountain leader Félix Cárdenas (Labarca2-Café Baqué) and Roberto Heras (US Postal Service-Berry Floor) at the top of Sierra de la Pandera. In finishing third, Heras reduced the gap to leader Isidro Nozal (ONCE-Eroski) by 1'11 in the overall standings, although Nozal still maintains a 4'02 lead over the USPS captain.

Valverde was chasing Cárdenas and Heras to the summit of La Pandera (the toughest mountain in this year's Vuelta), passing them in the final metres to win the stage. The Kelme man told Spanish TV, "We rode so very fast all day long, it was really hard today. I want to thank my teammate Oscar Sevilla for helping me. He behaved like a great champion and a great teammate as he is."

About "stealing" the stage from Cárdenas, Valverde replied, "Well, a race is a race; Cárdenas must be very upset with me, but we all try to win." Valverde also had some words for the leader Nozal: "He has resisted like he is, a great leader, I think he will win the race".

Kelme's team director Vicente Belda put emphasis on Valverde's good attitude. "He has that killer instinct that gave him the victory. I would have preferred that Sevilla won today, but Valverde was in better shape."

Heras, as always very shy, gave his version of the day: "We climbed very quickly. There were four kilometres that were very tough, but that's all, this is not a full mountain stage. I have to keep fighting and not give up, we still have some days to give it a try."

An exhausted Nozal clearly suffered on La Pandera, but didn't crack. "What happened was predictable. Marcos (Serrano) and Igor (González de Galdeano) helped me a lot. This is a mountain just for climbers. I'm very happy after getting through this climb."

How it unfolded

Four riders attacked very early in the 15th stage from Valdepeñas to Sierra de la Pandera: Carlos Torrent (Paternina-Costa de Almería), Germán Nieto (Relax-Fuenlabrada), César García Calvo (Labarca2-Café Baqué) and Paulo Barroso (Milaneza-MSS). The front riders were 3'07 ahead at km 42 and increased their advantage up to 4'52 at km 63. The US Postal team was at the front of the peloton and rode a very strong tempo, trying to limit the gap to the men in the break and also take the sting out of the legs of the ONCE riders. US Postal team director Johan Bruyneel and his riders have already said that they wanted to attack and win here, like Heras did last year in La Pandera.

By kilometre 90, the gap had been reduced somewhat to 4'34, and little by little the American postal team drove the peloton at a faster tempo to catch the breakaway. With 40 km to the finish the difference was 3'13 and it seemed the peloton was waiting for the exact moment to catch the front riders. After a first hour at 46.8 km/h, the next two hours weren't ridden as quickly because the peloton was perhaps waiting for the two climbs to impose a better rhythm.

At the city of Jaén where the second intermediate sprint was situated, the front riders were just 2'11 in front of the field. The US Postal team gave way at the front to the Kelme-Costa Blanca squad. Nieto and Barroso were caught first, and Torrent and García Calvo followed.

Erik Zabel (Telekom) attacked the group at the last intermediate sprint at Los Villares to win some points for the points jersey in his personal fight against Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo). Following that José Jufré (Relax-Fuenlabrada) and David Millar (Cofidis) attacked the group and rode ahead of the peloton soon after Los Villares.

The pure climbers started attacking on the first big climb of the day, the Cat. 2 Alto de los Villares. Roberto Laiseka (Euskaltel-Euskadi) together with teammate David Etxebarria and a group of five riders or so caught Millar. Laiseka attacked the group alone, looking for a little advantage to climb the last mountain. But Laiseka wasn't the only one moving the field because Oscar Sevilla (Kelme), Juan Miguel Mercado (iBanesto.com), Félix Cárdenas (Labarca2), Iñigo Cuesta and Daniel Atienza (Cofidis) moved off the front.

Laiseka had a 40 second gap to the front riders of the peloton at the summit of the Alto de los Villares. The peloton reduced the gap to 19 seconds at the beginning of the Sierra de la Pandera, and they caught the Basque rider a few hundred metres later.

Félix Cárdenas was the first to attack on the last climb, opening up a 30 second lead to the rapidly dwindling peloton. With 5 km to go on a steep 15% ramp of La Pandera, Roberto Heras, as well as Unai Osa (iBanesto.com), Txema del Olmo (Milaneza-MSS), Alejandro Valverde and Oscar Sevilla (Kelme-Costa Blanca) followed the Colombian, distancing the gold jersey Nozal immediately.

Heras caught the Labarca man with 3 km to go, as Sevilla and Valverde chased at 10 seconds and Nozal was beginning to lose more time. Nozal received support from teammates Marcos Serrano and Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano, and this helped him reduce the damage. With 2 km to the summit, Heras was 59 seconds ahead of Nozal. At the finish on a short descent, Valverde caught the leaders Cárdenas and Heras and defeated them in the final sprint.

September 22 - Second Rest Day

After the exhausting stage of today, the peloton will have the second and last rest day of the race. It will be a day off in the middle of both Andalusian mountain stages. Isidro Nozal needs this day very much after the enormous effort he made in the time trial in Albacete and also today in the climbs of Jaén. Roberto Heras will also have a day to recover to continue in his pursuit of "El Guri" as the Vuelta became a two man battled for the final victory.
