Stage 3, Alcorisa - Estacion de ski Valdelinares, 174.6 kms:

Spaniard Juan Carlos Dominguez (Vitalicio) took command of the Vuelta Ciclista Aragon after a storming victory in Stage 3, a 174.6 kms race between Alcorisa and the Ski Station at Valdelinares. 28-year old Dominguez, won the final sprint from a his fellow breakaway riders comprisin Jose Maria Jimenez, Italian Leonardo Piepoli, both from Banesto, and the Austrian rider Peter Luttenberger (ONCE).

The stage was marked by long solo escape by Spaniard Carlos Golbano (Costa de Almeria), who went away at km 18 and was not caught again until the 119 kms mark. On the summit of col de San Just (km 58) he had a lead of 11 minutes.

The selection for the stage however did not commence seriously until after the col de San Rafael (km 161) when a break of 15 riders motivated by Jimenez went away. Jimenez was motivated by his search for his first success of the season and was away alone for several kms. He came unstuck with derailleu problems and was absorbed by a small group containing Dominguez, Piepoli, Luttenberger, with American Lance Armstrong and Spaniard Igor Gonzalez Galdeano.

In the last km, Dominguez attacked and held the narrow lead to the end.

Stage 4 on Saturday takes the riders between Alcala de la Selva and Teruel (170 kms), with a Cat 2 and a Cat 3 climb included.
