Danilo Di Luca has won the penultimate stage, and moved into second place in the overall win a strong win in today's stage. The Saeco rider beat Ivan Basso (Fassa-Bortolo) in the three man sprint to the finish with Alex Zuelle (Team Coast) picking up third place. The new overall leader is Colchon Relax-Fuenlabrada rider Antonio Colom, recent winner of the Ruta del Sol.
The stage from Tavernes to Alto del Campello is the hardest of the race with a number of climbs testing the riders. The race was dominated by a number of small attacks, all reeled in, as the teams fought to give their riders the best position for the finish, and tomorrows TT to finish the event. The warm day 22 degrees seemed to suit Di Luca who attacked with 40km to go and was alone over the Alto del Campello climb. 20 riders managed to re-join him on the descent and they stayed together until five kilometres from the finish.
On the climb to the finish line Ivan Basso attacked first, trying to go clear alone but Di Luca chased him down and the two powered towards the finish.
With a kilometre to go Alex Zuelle caught them but did not have the strength to contest the sprint. Di Luca went on to win, taking his second win of the year and fifteenth of his career.
"It was a hard to win, Basso was really strong. When he attacked I was a bit blocked and couldn't chase him straight away. When I could I went across to him. I tried to drop him twice. He hung onto my wheel the first time and only lost ten metres the second time which wasn't enough for me to win. In the last kilometre Zuelle got back on. I knew he was thinking about the overall classification after tomorrow's time trial and that he wanted to gain time on the other riders, so I got on Basso's wheel and waited for the sprint. Ivan went first but I managed to get past him in the last few metres," said Di Luca.
The battle for the overall lead tightened up, with Di Luca just missing taking the leader's jersey by a second. "I didn't get the leader's jersey by just a second but the stage win is great for my morale. I've started off the season strongly and that's what I wanted to do. My build up to the big races is going well," Di Luca said. "It will help me in the classics (today's win), my major objective this season. I've never raced the World Cup circuit and hope to keep going well in Milano-San Remo, even if it's not really my kind of race like Liege and Amstel," he added.
Di Luca had some knee pain today before the stage, said Saeco team director Giuseppe "Martino" Martinelli. "A lot of riders wouldn't have even started, but Di Luca told me 'I'll start and race hard today', and madonna, he did it today!" Martinelli went on to relate that.."this is what really made me happy about Di Luca's ride today; his champions temperment and conviction that he would do well. And not only today, but also in races like Laigueglia and the Mont Faron stage of the Tour of the Med."
"Fortunately my knee didn't cause any problems today. I've changed my shoes, using a lighter sole. It seems to have worked," he added. The win confirms Di Luca's good early season form after his efforts at the Trofeo Laigueglia.
Mario Cipollini and Andrea Noe (Mapei-Quick Step) did not start the stage.
The race will be decided with 23.5 km individual time trial.

Whilst Ruta De Sol winner Toni Colom (Relax-Funelabrada) has taken the overall lead, he doesn't really fancy his chances coming into the TT "My favorite is Alex Zulle. He's a great time trialist and a 20 second lead over 23,5 kilometers is probably not enough to win. Besides, I have not even done a time trial in three years!" Colom lamented his bad luck from mechanical problems that cost him time in the first two stages of Valencia.
For his part, Coast rider Zulle, winner of the Vuelta a Valencia in 1995 said, "I had a good day today, even if I didn't get up to the front. Today was very complicated, but I decided to go for the win. I've hope to have a good time trial that will put me on the top of the podium; I feel good sensations and I think I'm a lot better than Colom in this kind of race, even if we will start with the wind," said Zulle.
