The 31st edition of the Vuelta a Burgos stage race, spanning over five days of competition this time, got underway in Spain this early afternoon, with the race opener covering 143 kilometres between Oña and Briviesca and 118 riders from as many as fifteen squads (Garmin and Andalucia are those fielding only seven riders each whereas all other teams came to northern Castille in full force) in attendance.

Edward King (Cervélo Test Team) proved to be the fastest in making the headlines: the American went away solo early and took the first Hot Spot Sprint at Trespaderne (km. 11), just to be joined by Lluis Mas, a rider from "home side" Burgos Monumental, by km. 20. Their time off the peloton ran out fast, but not before Mas had the chance to win the second meta volante.

Next on the move was another Spaniard, Alberto Fernández de la Puebla. He quickly took over a minute out of the field, but a trio consisting of Sergio Domínguez (Contentpolis-AMPO), Diego Gallego (Burgos-Momunental) and Jesús Rosendo (Andalucía-CajaSur) set off in pursuit of the Fuji-Servetto frontrunner. Fernández was first to the top the Cat. 2 Alto del Portillo de Busto at km. 37 but his three chasers closed down on him just a few miles later. The newly-formed lead quartet worked perfectly together and managed to increase their advantage to 04 minutes and 33 seconds at the km. 60 check. The gap turned the other way around since, mainly due to efforts by Euskaltel-Euskadi and Barloworld.

The time difference had been halved to about 02'20" as they went over Portillo de Busto for the second time. When the going got vertical again, Fernández de la Puebla made the most out of his climbing legs to drop his breakaway mates by his wheels. The Spaniard was able to hold on to a lead of one minute 45 seconds over the pack, now driven by Katusha, at the summit, with some 40 kilometres left. Sandwiched in between were still Rosendo, Domínguez and Gallego, who filled in the other top four places - in such order - at the KOM sprint.

The "Kremiln-jerseyed" crew kept doing their excellent job, captured Domínguez and Gallego, and never stopped gaining time on Rosendo and Fernández too. The Sevillan cyclist later dropped Fernández, who at his turn was hauled back to the bunch, and remained alone off the front, but also saw his lead on the grupo fall under the minute about 25 kilometres from the finish.

Jesús didn't give up the fight, but with a wild bunch of pursuers up in arms against him the man just couldn't make miracles, not even with such a first name. Rosendo's hopes to snatch his first ever success as a pro evaporated with a dozen kilometres to go, while a later attempt by Orbea's Ricardo García wasn't being given green light either. Katusha and Burgos Monumental shared the burden to keep the race together until the last five kilometres, then also Euskaltel and Cervélo showed up on the front of the field.

The Italian Fabrice Piemontesi (Fuji-Servetto) tried to escape the marshalling of the strung out peloton in the last two miles, but in vain. The Orange Warriors, working for Koldo Fernández de Larrea, were very attentive, and the fastman said muchas gracias and finished off their job. The Basque launched his sprint early, but his legs were strong enough today and none of his challengers could come around him in the finishing stretch. The 27-year-old from Vitoria took his season's tally, also featuring a Tour of Algarve stage and the Getxo Circuit, up to three victories. He's not new to climbing the podium in this race tough, as Koldo took line honours in the Vuelta's third leg the past year. Needless to say, the first stage winner also gets the first GC leader's jersey today.

Enrique Mata (Burgos Monumental) had to settle for second place only, with the Belgian hopeful Nikolas Maes (Topsport Vlaanderen) in the remaining top three spot ahead of Koldo's teammate/compatriot Pablo Urtasun (4th) and Mata's teammate/compatriot Joaquin Sobrino (5th).

The race continues tomorrow with a trip of 153 km. from Villasana de Mena town to San Juan del Monte, featuring the third category Alto de Cabrio, Alto Bocos and La Varga as the day's "only" difficulties.
