Stage 3, Logroño-Clavijo, ITT 16.9 kms:

142 runners were ready in Logroño for the Stage 3 time trial to Calvijo, a distance of 16.9 kms. The first rider to start at 12.00 was Mario Claramunt (Spa-Tegui) and the riders then went off at 1 minute intervals excepting for the last 30 riders who were sent off 2 minutes apart.

For most of the riders it was a day of sport but to those in contention the ITT is the toughest stage. The early fastest time was posted by David Blanco (Spa-Leyma) who was 46th on GC. He rode the distance in 30.31.

The next serious time came from 65th ranked rider Gaitzka Lejarreta (Spa-ONCE), who finished in 30.06. But not long after this the times started to come down quickly. Santos González (Spa-ONCE), 74th on GC finished with 29.40. It was a procession after that.

Igor González (Spa-Vitalicio) - 29.04, Jan Hruska (Cze-Wüstenrot) - 29.09.

Overnight leader Sergui Smetanine could only manage 29.18 and it was not enough to stop his teammate from Vitalicio, Juan Carlos Domiunguez from taking the wine coloured leader's jersey after his time of 27.49 pulverised the field.
