In another startlingly fast stage a nine-rider breakaway escaped just before the halfway point and stayed away to the finish where Beat Zberg (Rabobank) outsprinted Richard Virenque for the win.

The day started fast as a restless peloton threw out attack after attack in the first hour. Defending Oscar Sevilla's gold jersey, the Kelme team attempted to control most of the escape attempts, chasing down Cristian Moreni (Mercatone Uno) and many others.

After 15km a group of 12 nevertheless got under the Kelme wire. They included Frank Hoj (Coast), who led over the day's first climb, the third category Alto de la Noguera; Angel Vicioso (Kelme); Eleuterio Anguita (Jazztel); José Garcia Acosta (iBanesto.com); and Melchor Mauri (Milaneza-MSS). Their escape was short-lived and after 67km they were caught on the descent.

On ethe way down, a break formed of Matthe Pronk (Rabobank), Richard Virenque (Domo) and Luca Paolini (Mapei) these three were soon joined David Millar (Cofidis) but then caught by the bunch,and the peloton settled down having put the race 30 minutes ahead of schedule after 88km, clocking up an average speed of over 50km/h.

The high-speed peace didn't last long and the day's decisive move came at the 100km mark. After a series of attacks were chased down, nine riders managed to get away: Igor Flores (Euskaltel); Richard Virenque (Domo); Beat Zberg (Rabobank); Dariusz Baranowski (iBanesto.com); Rafael Diaz Justo (O.N.C.E.); Juan Guillamon (Jazztel); Roberto Sgambelluri (Telekom); Massimo Giunti (Cantina Tollo);and Cesar Garcia Calvo (Colchon Relax).

With no significantly placed riders on GC, this band of nine was allowed to escape and over the next 53km built up a maximum lead of 5 minutes 48 seconds. With the entire top 20 safe in the main peloton, it would have made little difference if the gap had stayed at five minutes, but it was time to chase the upstarts on general principles, and relays of Kelme, Telekom and Mapei riders led the chase.

The gap soon began to drop, with the chasing rhythm only partly interrupted by the day's only significant obstacle, the category two climb of the Coll de Lilla at 165km. Baranowski led Díaz Justo and Guillamon over the top as the pursuit reduced the gap under four minutes.

With 23km to go the gap was down to 2.58. Telekom was doing most of the work, keen to get Erik Zabel into position for another sprint victory, but it began to look as though the German team was going to run out of time as the well-organised break, powered by Beat Zabel and Richard Virenque worked to limit the rate of attrition.

The gap continued to fall, but not fast enough for Telekom, and as the break entered the final five kilometres Richard Virenque attempted a solo escape from the others, but was soon caught. Flores was next to try his luck, to no avail, and then Giunti made a last-minute dash as the riders went under the 1km banner, but he too failed.

In the finale, Beat Zberg picked his moment and powered across the line ahead of Virenque and Flores. Less than a minute later, Erik Zabel won the bunch sprint in a virtual formality.

Tomorrow's fourteenth stage covers 170.5km from Tarragona to Vinarós. Last year's 8th stage of the Vuelta finished here amongst a great crowd, and a similar reception is hoped for this year. It's expected to be a regulation bunch sprint, though as today's stage showed, it's an anything-can-happen Vuelta.
