It's all in the timing

Less than 24 hours after achieving his first ever Vuelta stage win, Telekom's Erik Zabel has done it again, this time taking the sprint into León after a regulation but crash-filled 140 kilometre third stage. Zabel was once again given a perfect leadout with the Telekom locomotive clicking into action with just 5 kilometres to go. Danilo Hondo again provided the final springboard for Zabel, and he finished up with third place. Today's runner up was Robbie McEwen (Domo-Farm Frites) who had no answer to Zabel's superior speed and power.

Today's stage started in Valladolid under clear, blue skies with an accompanying temperature of 25 degrees. The largely flat profile made a bunch sprint likely, but the riders still had to cope with the wind and the high tempo from the start. Approximately 50 kilometres were covered in the first hour, with the first attack coming from Cesar Garcia Calvo (Relax-Fuenlabrada), who built enough of a lead to take the first meta volante sprint in Medina de Rioseco (km 40.2).

53 seconds later, the peloton was led through by Enrico Degano (Panaria) who took the 2 points for second, and also nabbed the second meta volante at Villalón de Campos (km 65.5) after Garcia Calvo was caught. The high speed and the winds were causing havoc within the peloton, with crashes and splits forcing several riders or groups to chase.

Most seriously hurt was Rabobank's Markus Zberg, who fell at kilometre 77 along with Elio Aggiano (Mapei). It was immediately obvious that Zberg broke his left collarbone, and his Vuelta was over. Aggiano had damaged his hand, but kept going with some help from the team doctor. His teammate Oscar Freire had also been caught up in a crash, and suffered a lot in rejoining the peloton.

Zberg's Rabobank teammate Karsten Kroon was the next to try a solo move, riding away from the peloton after 85 kilometres, and slowly building up a lead of a minute. Cofidis, with David Millar in gold, was content to sit on the front and ride at a good tempo so Kroon didn't get too far away.

As the sprinters' teams started to help out on an uphill section, Kroon's lead quickly shrank and he was caught with 20 kilometres to go, after being away for 35 km. The final meta volante sprint was with just 9 kilometres left, and this was won by Domo's Glen Magnusson, followed by Vinale (Alessio) and Golbano (Jazztel). Cofidis were still doing the bulk of the work, but they were finally relieved by Telekom's magenta train with five kilometres to go.

There were more crashes (at least five on today's stage), with metas volantes leader Enrico Degano being tangled in one with 4 kilometres to go, losing 4'26 by the finish. Up front, Telekom was doing the job perfectly. Rolf Aldag did a massive turn to set things up for the final kilometre, and Zabel came onto the finishing straight in fourth wheel, behind Aldag, Elli and Hondo.

This was another perfect piece of work by Telekom, as Hondo pulled his teammate up to top speed and Zabel performed the coup de grace, winning by a bike length from McEwen, with Hondo still having the legs for third place.

In the overall classification there was no change to the lead, but several riders including Levi Leipheimer (USPS) and Joseba Beloki (ONCE) lost time near the finish, and slipped down the rankings.

Tomorrow's stage from León to Gijón takes the riders back down to sea-level, with one second category climb at the half-way point.
