Report:

Stage 3 started from Gernika and the pace was initially slow. At km 19, the first climb came at the Alto Se San Pelaio (Cat 3) and Ramon Gonzalez Arrieta (Euskaltel) who was first followed by Michele Copolillo (Mercatone). The pair had broken away on the climb. At km 39, the first Metas Volantes premie at Gatika was contested with Ramon Gonzalez Arrieta taking the prize from Marco Di Renzo (Cantina Tollo), then Copolillo. The 3 breakaways had a lead of 2.50 on a relatively subdued peloton. At km 50, there were 6 in the lead group and the gap on the peloton was 4.10.

The second climb - the Cat 3 Alto De Autzagane (km 82) once again saw Ramon Gonzalez win the sprint from Armin Meier (Saeco). The breakaway group of 6 were now 5.18 in front of the peloton. The next climb at km 91 was the Cat 2 Alto De Muniketa. The gap on the main peloton was maintained and it was Ramon Gonzalez, Copolillo, Di Renzo, in that order over the top and followed closely by the other 3 leaders.

The major difficulty came at the 100 kms mark - the Cat 1 Alto De Urkiola. Again it was the dominating Ramon Gonzalez in front of Meier and Copolillo. At 0.36 was Alvaro Gonzalez de Galdeano (Vitalicio) and at 1.16 it was Manuel Beltran (Banesto) and David Etxebarria (ONCE. The peloton was badly fragmented and in four groups.

At km 117, the second metas volantes premie at Otxandio saw Meier win in front of Copolillo and Ramon Gonzalez Arrieta.

The Cat 2 Santuario de Oro (km 148) came next. On the climb a group of 12 riders including a group that had broken from the peloton were leading the race. With 1 kms to go there were 3 riders leading and at the finish it was Fernando Escartin (Kelme), David Etxebarria (ONCE) and at 0.01 Manuel Beltran (Banesto) going across the line. Unai Osa (Banesto) was at 0.14 and at 0.19 was Telekom's Georg Totschnig.
