Friday, August 10: Stage 4, Monasterios San Pedro Cardena - Clunia, 165 km

Carlos Barbero

Carlos Barbero wins stage four.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Carlos Barbero's Movistar Team.

Cycling's 50 Triumphs and Tragedies

Carlos Barbero crowned on Friday a sensational job from the Movistar Team to bring the Blues some big joy on stage four of the Vuelta a Burgos, 165km towards the hill of Clunia’s Roman City. The province’s biggest rider claimed a third win in the famous 2km uphill finish -after 2015 and 2017- following splendid commitment from all his six team-mates.

Constant pacing from Jaime Castrillo kept the break close to the bunch until the final 30km. A late push from Rubén Fernández helped establish the chasing pace. Valls, Rojas and Oliveira kept Barbero sheltered against the win, and at the end, a fantastic turn at the toughest slopes of the climb by Winner Anacona helped Barbero focus only on positioning himself -fourth through the last turn- to overtake those ahead of him with calmness and strength. It’s Barbero’s third victory of the season, after respective stage wins in Madrid and Castilla y León.

The Movistar Team, which gets up to 24 wins in the current 2018 season -three of them from Carlos, now up to 16 UCI victories-, will close their participation in the Vuelta a Burgos on Saturday’s famous Lagunas de Neila climb (HC), with Anacona currently in 13th overall.

REACTION / Carlos Barbero:
“It was so difficult to win again today. I was the wheel everyone was looking for. Being the top favourite and winning is even harder. You’re under your own bigger pressure, your pulse is higher, you even struggle to get decent sleep the night before – there’s riders who suffer when they have all eyes on them. I always try to avoid focusing on that pressure, even if I knew I couldn’t disappoint, especially after that ‘failure’ of my flat tire so close to the finish in the Castillo on Tuesday – it was ‘all or nothing’ today.

"My team-mates always relied on me, keeping things under control from the beginning, keeping me protected against the win and leading out the peloton before the sprint. I had to sprint from a bit more afar than last year before the race called for it – there was a strong attack by Tao Geoghegan Hart, who tried to break the sprint, and I had to go after him, overtake him and then seek for my distance.

"I knew this finish well from so many years ago, but I still wanted to train here last week, climb it four or five times to get a feeling of the slopes before the real race. You’ve got to do everything you can, even if at the end it all comes down to race factors. Luckily, things went really went today, and my team is fully responsible for this success.”

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

The race: Here's the report from winner Miguel Lopez's Team Astana.

Miguel Angel Lopez took a tough but nice victory at stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos atop special category climb Picón Blanco. Astana Team rider attacked from the leading group with 3 km to the top, taking an advantage of 20 seconds. With 500 meters to go the Colombian Ivan Ramiro Sosa caught Lopez, but in the final sprint Astana’s rider was able to take a win.

- First of all I want to thank my teammates for fantastic job today, the guys did a great stage, we controlled the race from the start and until the finish. I want to dedicate this victory to my team. It was a hard day, while on the last climb there was a very strong front wind. In a moment when the wind calmed down a bit, I decided to attack. I’ve got an advantage, but it was not easy at all to fight against front wind alone during all the way to the top. Yeah, later Sosa caught me, but in the end, I just did my best to hold on his wheel and to win the sprint. That’s true, I am not in my top form yet, but looks like everything is going by plan for the Vuelta a España, - explained Miguel Angel Lopez.

Stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos started in a small town of Sedano and finished atop 8,5-km-long climb Picón Blanco with an average gradient of 9,1% with a maximum over 15%. Astana Pro Team took the control over the race from the beginning: Bakhtiyar Kozhatayev and Jan Hirt worked hard to chase the daily breakaway and to set the rhythm in the group. With a few kilometers to go Nikita Stalnov and later Dario Cataldo increased the pace of the group dramatically, producing a huge selection in the group. Astana’s leader Miguel Angel Lopez attacked twice: firstly with 4 km to and later with 3 km to go – it was a decisive move for a win.

Also, Pello Bilbao did a good race, he was always close to the leaders and finished 7th, 57 seconds behind his teammate.

Miguel Angel Lopez became the new leader of the general classification of the Vuelta a Burgos, Pello Bilbao is 7th.

Stage 4 of the race will be held tomorrow: 165 km from Monasterio San Pedro Gardeña to Ciudad Romana de Clunia.

Complete results:

149 kilometers raced at an average speed of 37.328 km/hr

Tuesday, August 7: Stage 1, Burgos - Burgos, 157 km

Franesco Gavazzi

Francesco Gavazzi takes the first stage of the Vuelta a Burgos ahead of Astana's Pello Bilbao.

The race: Here's the report from second-place Pello Bilbao's Team Astana.

Story of the Giro d'Italia volume 2

Pello Bilbao took a nice second place in the fast uphill sprint in Burgos in the final of stage 1 of the Vuelta a Burgos started today in Spain. Astana’s rider tried his best at the last short climb to the Castle of Burgos, but failed to catch the Italian Francesco Gavazzi, who became the winner.

"Gavazzi started with about 250 meters to go and I was able to catch his wheel. But the final was too fast and it was impossible for me to pass him. In the end I found my speed and maybe I missed 50 meters more to win this stage. Anyway, I am pretty happy with my first day in Burgos. I feel really good and it brings me confidence. Also, the team was super strong today and the guys did absolutely great job. So, it was just the beginning of the race and I am looking forward to the next stages", said Pello Bilbao.

Stage 1 (157 km) started and finished in the city center of Burgos, while the finish was on the top of a third category climb Alto del Castillo next to the Castle of Burgos.

Astana Team did a smart race, trying to keep the leaders Pello Bilbao and Miguel Angel Lopez out of troubles as well as to control the situation in the race. In the final, the Kazakh team did a great effort on the last climb, bringing Bilbao up there in front for a sprint.

Stage 2 of the race will be held tomorrow: the peloton will ride 163 km from Beloradoc to Catrojeriz.
