Gianni Faresin (Mapei) today increased his lead in the sprint competition, while giving the stage victory right into the hands of Spanish Champion Alvaro Gonzalez de Galdeano (Vitalicio).
A break of six got their chance early on in the stage. Jon Odriozola (Banesto), Massimiliano Gentili (Cantina Tollo), Alberto Lopez de Munain (Euskatel), Gianni Faresin (Mapei), Alvaro Gonzalez de Galdeano (Vitalicio) and Pascal Hervé (Polti) had a gap of four minutes with 80 kilometres to go. Kelme rode at the front of the peloton, but the pace was somewhat relaxed and many riders were probably thinking of tomorrow's stage to Alto de Angliru.
The break was a perfect chance for Faresin to improve his lead in the sprint competition, and no-one in the break sprinted against him. Pascal Hervé who showed the marks of a crash when he started the stage with a bandaged left knee, got another chance to discover the wildlife in a pile of leaves when he lost control of his bike in a sharp turn. He was quickly back in the break, and with 25 kilometres to go, the group of six had over six minutes to the peloton.
The best placed rider in the break was Massimiliano Gentili who was 12 minutes behind Heras at the start of the day, and with a four kilometre lead with 15 kilometres to go, it was certain that he would do some GC climbing. Jan Hruska (Vitalicio) tried to break away from the peloton in an attempt to catch the leaders, but was soon brought back as the riders faced the final climb of the day, the third category Alto del Infanzion.
Faresin, not the most explosive of sprinters, tried to rise the speed close to the top of the climb, and the group instantly lost Hervé, Gonzalez de Galdeano and Lopez de Munain. After a six kilometre chase, Hervé and Gonzalez de Galdeano were able to rejoin the front riders, while Lopez de Munain found himself in a bit of a mess. Faresin tried to get rid of the others with 700 meters to go, but as soon as Gonzalez de Galdeano started his sprint, it was obvious how cool he had been playing his game. The Spanish champion had both the will and strength to pass the riders he had just been chasing after, and Pascal Hervé attentively snatched the second spot.
