Kazakhstan's Aleksandr Shefer (Alessio) has won the critical stage of the Ruta del Sol, finishing in front of a pair of Rabobank riders Erik Dekker and Marc Wauters, with Andrei Tchmil (Lotto) and Jan Schaffrath (Telekom) following in fourth and fifth spots. In doing so, Dekker became the new race leader after he also gained some seconds on the peloton yesterday.

The 178.5 kilometre stage finished at the top of Alto del Santuario de Araceli, and was marked by a strong headwind for the early part of the stage. There were few attacks, and the race was an hour behind the slowest schedule by the finish. In addition, the 18 percent, 8 kilometre climb up to the Alto caused many to save their legs for when they were required.

After 60 kilometres, the wind changed direction, leading to several echelons that were being driven by the Belgian and Dutch teams. Lotto had five riders in a leading group of 15 at one point, and they managed nearly two minutes on the main peloton that was being led by Festina and Euskaltel and Relax-Fuenlabrada.

As soon as the race hit the final climb, Shefer, Dekker, Tchmil and Mikhailov attacked. Shefer proved to be the strongest, riding away with two kilometres to go and chalking another win up for Alessio this season. Dekker pulled on the leader's jersey and may well keep it over the next three stages, although there are still some mountains to come.
