21st Vuelta Ciclista a Murcia - 2.3Spain, March 7-11, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 3 - March 9: Cieza - Archena, 152.4 kmGarrido pips Leoni
Argentinian sprinter Martin Garrido (Relax-Fuenlabrada) has become the new leader in the Vuelta a Murcia after he won today's third stage, between Cieza and Archena. Garrido beat yesterday's winner, Endrio Leoni (Alessio) and Giovanni Lombardi (Telekom) in yet another bunch sprint, that saw all the principal names arrive in the leading group. The 152 kilometre stage was more animated than the previous day, and several teams went on the attack from the beginning. Leandro Navarrete (Kelme), Guido Trenti (Cantina Tollo) and Tony Bracke (Collstrop) launched a successful attack in the 6th kilometre, that netted them a six minute lead at one point. Alessio and Nurnberger mounted a chase, while up the road the break was splintering. Navarrete was the first to be dropped at the half-way point, while Trenti and Bracke kept going. Marco Pantani and Jan Ullrich were also seen near the front, presumably to stay out of trouble and work on their early season form. With 30 kilometres to go, the race was over for Bracke and Trenti, as they fought a strong headwind and a speeding peloton. After this, the sprinters teams managed to keep the race together, although there were many attacks coming into Archena. Lotto were prominent, trying to set up Blijlevens for the win after he came so close yesterday. However in the final few hundred metres, it was a case of every man for himself, and Blijlevens, Lombardi and Leoni were not positioned well. Martin Garrido took full advantage of this to take a clear win in the stage. Tomorrow's fourth stage will be different to the first three. It is 166 kilometres between Alcantarilla and Aledo, taking in the altos Del Gurruchal (Cat. 3), Caballo (Cat. 3), Pliego (Cat. 3), Espuņa (Cat. 1) and Collado Bermejo (Cat. 1).
