Piepoli wins Aragon

There was more Italian success on the weekend after Banesto's Leonardo Piepoli hung on to win the overall of the Vuelta Aragon that finished in Saragossa today. The fifth and last stage, starting from Magallon was just 120.5 kilometres long, with the win going to Telekom's Giovann Lombardi in a three man breakaway. Second was Cantina Tollo's Gianpaolo Mondini with Davide Bramati showing that he can sprint on-road as well as off in third place. The trio escaped in the last 5 kilometres of the stage, and Lombardi was easily the fastest sprinter.

Piepoli became the first Italian winner of the Aragon race in 37 editions, and stamped his authority on stage two where he won on his own. He beat teammate Aitor Osa (Spa) and Euskaltel's Bingen Fernandez for the overall honours in a racce that saw the entire podium from last year's Tour de France compete.

Not all of them finished though: US Postal's Lance Armstrong abandoned on the last stage, as did Mapei's Pavel Tonkov. Banesto's Alex Zülle soldiered on despite having intestinal flu, but finished 90th, 38 minutes behind the winner.
