62nd Volta a Portugal - 2.3Portugal, July 24-August 6, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 12 - August 4: Fundão-Portalegre, 160.2 kmOngarato's first in the VoltaThree third category climbs was far too little to shake up the riders of the Volta a Portugal so the twelfth stage ended in a mass sprint with Italian Alberto Ongarato (Mobilvetta) being first over the line. His, and his team's, first stage victory in the Volta. There was a long escape involving Oscar López Uriarte (Benfica), Joao Silva (Maia-MSS), Fortunato Valliani (Selle Italia) and the two Kelme's Francisco Cabello and Félix Cárdenas but the quartet was caught in due time. Cárdenas (Kelme) tried a strong attack at the last climb but was also caught. Tomorrow brings the 36.8 km ITT that probably will decide the race.
