Vinokourov in late burst
By Gabriella Ekström, cyclingnews.com correspondent

Kazakh Alexander Vinokourov (Telekom) took a much deserved victory today, when he surprised early breakaways Vicente Garcia Acosta (Banesto) and Roberto Laiseka (Euskatel) close to the finish.
The stage was fast from the gun, and Jon Odriozola (Banesto) and Miquel van Kessel (Farm Frites) were the first riders to get in a break. A group containing Gianni Faresin (Mapei), Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo), Fabio Soler (Jazztel), Christian Moreni (Liquigas) and Vicente "Chenté" Garcia Acosta chased after them. When they began the climb of Alto de el Portillo, two Euskatel riders, Laiseka and Del Olmo attacked, and were joined by Richard Virenque (Polti) and his former team mate Fabian Jeker (Festina). Not everyone survived the first category climb, and Petacchi, Kessel and Virenque were gone before the climb was over. Garcia Acosta attacked close to the top, and was joined by Laiseka, Del Olmo and Moreni.
However only Laiseka managed to match Chenté over the mountains that followed, and the others were soon back in the peloton. At most they had a two minute gap, but with only 15 kilometres to go, it was down to a minute. This close to the finish, the peloton once again started to hesitate, and the pace went down. The gap to the two up front started to grow again, so Alexander Vinokourov went for a solo attempt to catch them.
Garcia Acosta didn't really get any help from Roberto Laiseka and when Laiseka then attacked with three kilometers to go, Garcia Acosta got furious and refused to pull after bringing him back. None of them seemed to know how close Vinokourov actually was at this point, and when Alexander got eye contact with a kilometer to go, it was hard to believe that anything could stop him. He caught and passed Laiseka and Chente with only 300 meters to go. Vinokourov was delighted, but Garcia Acosta was furious and started to insult Laiseka right after the finish.
There were no major overall changes, although there were riders finishing as far as 20 minutes down on the winner.
