DEKKER, Erik NED RABOBANK 45.51 Brief Report Ascis-CGA sprinter Federico Colonna came up trumps in the finale of Stage 3 of the Tour of Valencia by outsmarting Erik Zabel to win the sprint. The Telekom train had given Zabel the perfect position and as the peloton came into a long finishing straight he went. It became clear that it was premature and Colonna just sat his wheel. At precisely the right moment, Colonna surged and took the win from Italian Mario Traversoni and Frenchman Francois Simon. The stage highlight was the reaction of the large teams in the closing kms. With less than 15 kms to go, the combines came out and killed of breakaway group of 5 and lined their sprinters up for the mass sprint. Tomorrow (Friday) there are two Cat 1 climbs and a Cat 2 climb close to the finish line. It is the day big things may happen. |
