Leoni vs Zabel in carbon-copy finish
|
Endrio Leoni (Alessio) and Erik Zabel (Telekom) repeated their stage one finish in today's third stage of the Ruta del Sol, with Leoni once again edging out Zabel in a bunch sprint.
The early part of the stage was characterised by constant activity, with numerous unsuccessful attacks.
The first escape of the day was carried out by Kaesten Kroon (Rabobank) and Gonzalo Bayarri (Jazztel) after 40km. They were soon joined by Joan Horrach (Maia).
Working together, the trio built a maximum lead of 4 minutes 35 seconds at the summit of the third category Puerto de Arjonilla. Soon afterwards, ONCE organised the chase and 20km from the finish, the break was caught.
As the finish approached, Rabobank and Telekom worked to get their men in position for the finale, but despite having his whole team at his disposal, Zabel was unable to answer Leoni's speed, as the Andalusian took Alessio's third successive stage win.
Francisco Cabello (Kelme) tops the general classification, ahead of three other riders on the same time: Antonio Colom Mas (Relax), Aleksandr Shefer (Alessio) and Axel Merckx (Domo)
Pavel Tonkov was the most prominent DNS today. Tonkov became ill the previous evening and was not fit to race this morning, jis Lampre team choosing to withdraw him from the race.
Wednesday's 188km fourth stage between Lucena and Benalmadena is expected to be more challenging, with numerous 'false flats' and a category 2 climb 8km from the finish.
