Catalunya: Valverde wins stage 5, takes lead

Alejandro Valverde took command of the Volta a Catalunya Friday, winning stage 5 in Lo Port, atop a 1,000-meter mountaintop finish. The Movistar rider attacked out of a select group of GC favorites in the final throes of the 182km stage in Spain. Sky’s Chris Froome rode to second place, just ahead of Trek-Segafredo’s Alberto Contador.

“On the [final] climb I had the legs, I calculated the distance to here, to the finish line [and went for it],” said Valverde, who won the tour’s other hilltop finish in stage 3 as well. “The team was great today, we were out front the whole way.”

With his victory, Valverde took the overall race lead from American Tejay van Garderen (BMC), just three days after the controversial stage 2 team time trial. Froome moved up to second overall, 21 seconds back, ahead of Contador, 47 seconds behind Valverde.

On the mountaintop finish, which had gradients as steep as 20 percent, Valverde made his move with Contador, Froome, and four others. Van Garderen was dropped. “I felt really good and confident going into the final climb but the pace and the gradient weren’t treating me very well, and I couldn’t hold their wheel in the end,” the BMC rider said. “The race is certainly not over. Tomorrow is going to be a brutally hard stage, so it is not a time to sit up. We can now regroup as a team and see what we can do and look for other opportunities over the next two days.”

The winner gave credit to two key teammates, Rubén Fernández and Marc Soler, who set a mean tempo on the final climb.

“It was a spectacular day for both myself and the team, I’m so glad I could finish this off,” Valverde added. “From the very foot of the climb I was feeling like I had good legs, and I asked them to go on full steam for as long as they could. At the final two kilometers, I sought for my distance and launched the move with a pace I could hold until the line.”

Although Saturday’s stage 6, from Tortosa to Reus includes a difficult category 1 climb of Alto de la Musara late in the 189.7km race, there’s a downhill run to the finish, so Valverde should be able to defend his lead.
