Zülle wins the overall

Swiss rider, Alex Zülle of the Banesto team has managed to win the Portuguese Volta ao Algarve in a fine performance on the last day. He placed third in the winning break containing Azevedo (Maia/MSS) and Unai Extebarria (Ven, Euskaltel).

After German Gerolsteiner rider, Michael Rich was dropped early on, the race became a battle between Zülle and Azevedo, but the latter was unable to get the seven seconds he needed from the Swiss to take the overall. Zülle said that he was extremely pleased with the win, considering the terrible weather and thanked the entire Banesto squad for making it possible.
