MADRID, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Fransecso Gavazzi won stage 11 of the Vuelta de Espana (Tour of Spain) cycle race on Thursday. Gavazzi, who rides for the Lampre team, was part of an 11-man escape which finished seven minutes and 40 seconds ahead of the main peloton of riders including overall race leader, Juan Jose Cobo and second placed Chris Froome, who began the day just 13 seconds behind in the standings. The 174 kilometer stage between Solares and Noja in the north of Spain contained five categorized climbs and looked perfect for a breakaway of riders who were a long way behind in the overall standings to escape looking for a stage win. Gavazzi was part of an 11-man breakaway, which at one point enjoyed a lead of almost 12 minutes over the peloton as the majority of the riders looked to conserve their strength. Sergio Paulinho broke the unity of the breakaway with around 10 kilometers remaining, and for a while it looked as if he would ride alone to the finish line. However, the other 10 riders worked hard and although Paulinho opened a lead of 50 seconds, that lead was cut back until Gavazzi and Kristof Vandewalle overtook him and sprinted clear in the last two kilometers. With Vandewalle doing most of the work, Gavazzi was able to intelligently conserve his strength in the closing meters before beating his rival across the line with a cleverly timed sprint. The overall standings at the lead of the race were unaffected, which means that Cobo remains leader as the Vuelta returns to the Basque Country for the first time in 35 years on Friday. The riders will tackle a hilly 158 kilometers from Noja into the city of Bilbao in another stage which should see plenty of attacks and a possible mass sprint finish.Gavazzi wins sprint in stage 18 of vuelta - China Ultrapure Water System - Stainless Steel Filter HousingGavazzi wins sprint in stage 18 of vuelta - China Ultrapure Water System - Stainless Steel Filter HousingGavazzi wins sprint in stage 18 of vuelta - China Ultrapure Water System - Stainless Steel Filter Housing We are high quality suppliers, our products such as China Ultrapure Water System , Stainless Steel Filter Housing for oversee buyer.
