Caisse d'Epargne rider beats Vino and Sastre

Spain’s Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse d’Epargne) got to pose in the classic Basque Txapela hat after winning the Clasica San Sebastian on Saturday.

Sanchez was the first to attack on the second ascent of the Jaizkibel climb, 40km from the finish, and was joined by Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) and Carlos Sastre (Cervelo TestTeam). However he was far more confident and faster in the sprint and so gave Spain another victory in the only major one-day race on the Spanish calendar.
