Stage 3: Trapagaran - Vitoria, 190 km

Third stage to Zanini: Italians continue

Italian riders and Italian teams are seemingly at home in the Basque country, recording their third straight win in today's stage. The winner of stage three, from from Trapagaran to Vitoria (190 km) was Mapei's Stefano Zanini, who prevailed over Joaquim Castelblanco (Kelme) and Udo Bölts (Telekom) in a bunch sprint. An Italian is also still in the leader's jersey - yesterday's stage winner, Danilo di Luca (Cantina Tollo).

The day began in cold and wet conditions, and the riders were not enthused to race particularly hard at the outset. Mariano Piccoli (Lampre), Fabio Roscioli (Amica Chips), Felix Cardenas (Kelme) and Aitor Silloniz (Euskaltel) took advantage of this to attack on the first of six climbs for the day. Meanwhile in the bunch, the only news was that Francesco Casagrande (Vini Caldirola) has abandoned before the 25 kilometre mark.

No teams were prepared to chase the quiartet early on, especially as the best placed rider was Silloniz at 12 minutes. The break got up to 7 and a half minutes by half way, however the peloton were slowly warming themselves to chase, despite continnual sleet. Danilo di Luca's Cantina Tollo team started the hunt, and the break was doomed. Consistently unsuccessful long breakaway specialist, Fabio Roscioli (Amica Chips) was actually dropped from the group on the last climb at Santa Teodosia, 40 kilometres to go, won by Cardenas.

At this point, the bunch was only four minutes behind, and Lance Armstrong (USPS) was one of those prominent on the climb, which had a maximum grade of 11.5 percent. However, it wasn't enough to destroy the group completely, and the sprinters teams Vitalicio Seguros and Mapei mobilized at the head of the peloton after the descent. They brought back the leaders (the last of whom was Silloniz) with four kilometres to go, and prepared for a massed sprint.

Several attacks did not prevent Stefano Zanini from gaining the win, using Paolo Bettini as a springboard. Tomorrow's longest stage 4 (199 km) will be disputed between Vitoria and the Navarrese locality of San Estebán. The principal difficulties are Opacua (Cat. 1), Urbasa (Cat. 1), Zuarrarrate (Cat. 2), Gorostieta (Cat. 2) and Salidas (Cat. 2), the last of which is 18 kilometres from the finish.
