Other Stages    

Stage 3, Murcia - Alcantarilla, 156 kms:

At the start today there were 156 riders with Faresin and Otero abandoning overnight. The weather was fine but there was a strong wind.

At km 3, Tafi attacked with Andrade and Sandstod, the latter unwilling to work the break. The intentions of J.V Garcia were clear, however, and he counterattacked. 5 kms later it was Tafi with Andrade and the peloton at 0.18. They were working furiously and at the 22 kms mark, the pair at 4.58 on the peloton. This was the maximum advantage that they gained. The pace was very slow - 31 km/h - for the first hour. The gap at the 48 kms mark was down to 3.06. 10 kms later, the pair - Andrade and Tafi - had worked it back to 3.56. The work in the peloton was starting with ONCE-Deustche Bank taking over the responsibility from Kelme-Costa Blanca, Saeco, Lampre-Daikin and Telekom.

At the km 80 mark, the gap was down to 3.11. The first metas volante premie came at the 104.5 kms mark - Cieza - which was for the "Trofeo Mariano Rojas" - Andrade first (3 seconds bonification), then Tafi (2 seconds) and the peloton sprint at 1.28 went to South African Robbie Hunter (1 second bonus). By now the work was being done in the peloton by the team organisation and at km 116 Andrade and Tafi were caught.

Km 120 saw the second metas volante premie at Blanca. Orlando Rodrigues (3 seconds bonus), Dietz (2) and Ekimov (1) and the complete peloton. Past the sprint, Cesar Garcia and Cagigas tried their hand but could not get any gap.

At km 135, Maignan and Nieto attacked momentarily, but Nieto pulled back quickly. Maignan was caught at the 143 kms mark with Saeco now controlling the race for Cipollini.

The final mass sprint at km 156 went to Jan Svorada. It was a photo finish. Pascual retained the leader's jersey.
