Stage 3 of the Vuelta Asturias was almost a carbon copy of stage 2, although it was in theory hillier than yesterday. The climb of San Martín de Huerces, category 2 (15 kms to go) was eliminated from the parcours, meaning that the 165 kilometres from Llanes to Gijón was once again suited to the sprinters. The top three yesterday (Vogels, Edo, and Soeiro) finished in a slightly different order though, with Edo getting the better of Vogels today.

Vogels' Mercury team were awakened early (6:30 am - hey, it's early for pro cyclists) by the UCI 'vampires' for a mandatory hematocrit test, and all were found to be under the 50% limit. Indeed, the usual phenomenon of hematocrit lowering during a stage race was obsevered as most of the team tested lower than the 38-44 range they had shortly before the trip.

The stage was once agian held in a downpour, and the last 40 kilometres (despite having no category 2 climb) was held on a tricky up and down section which split the field. A break occurred before this though at the 75 kilometre point, where , Vicente García Acosta (Banesto), Pedro Lopes (LA Pecol) and Juan Miguel Mercado (Vitalicio), took three other riders with them in an attempt to steal the stage. The six managed to stay away until the outskirts of Gijón where they had three minutes on the first lap of the finishing circuits.

Racef leader, Albert Lopez De Munain then had his Euskaltel team chase to bring the gap down, as Mercado was the leader on the road. Within the next 15 kilometres they closed the gap, to set up the stage for a sprint finish with 25 kilometres to go. The high pace set by the Euskaltel and the other sprinter's teams shattered the bunch and a much smaller group remained to contest the finish.

In the end it was Angel Edo's Maia-MSS team that propelled him to the last corner, and provided the victory, with Vogels finishing a close second followed by Soeiro of Boavista-Troiamarisco. Munain kept his leader's jersey, with an advantage of 6 seconds over Banesto's Aitor Garmendia.

Tomorrow's stage 4 will start in Gijón, travelling for 165 kilometres to El Viso with three mountains to be tackled. The last will be the finish in El Viso and will surely prove decisive.
