Petacchi once more
Alessandro Petacchi (Milram) notched up another early season victory after taking the third stage of the Vuelta Valenciana. At the finish in Puerto de Sagunto, Petacchi was too quick for Danilo Napolitano (Lampre-Fondital) and Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros). He kept his second position on general classification, but is now 17 seconds behind leader Alexandre Kolobnev (Rabobank).
"Today my teammates went into action about two kilometres from the finish," said Petacchi. "My team led out the sprint and I did, as usual, start my sprint behind Velo at 200 metres from the finish. It was a perfect sprint."
Second placed Napolitano commented, "The team worked very well and prepared me perfectly for the sprint. Yesterday I tried to anticipate Petacchi and it didn't work out well. Today, I preferred to wait for Alessandro's jump and then I tried to come round him. It was the right solution, in fact I was succeeding in closing the gap. Unfortunately, I felt that I was pedalling too small a gear, so I couldn't close the gap enough."
How it unfolded
The third stage started at 11:50 in Sagunto in cool conditions, After several attempts to break away, Frenchman Eric Leblacher (Française des Jeux) succeeded, and was eventually joined by mountains leader Adrián Palomares (Kaiku) on the descent of the Alto de Montmajor after 61 km. As it began to rain, the pair succeeded in gaining a three and a half minute advantage over the peloton.
Gorka González (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Ignacio Gutiérrez (Phonak) set off in pursuit of the leaders while Rabobank controlled the peloton. But once they caught the two in front, the balance of power was shifted against the breakaway, and Milram and Lampre-Fondital began to chase. The four in front were finally caught with 1.2 km to go, with Petacchi able to demonstrate his superior speed over the rest once more.
Tomorrow's fourth stage is between Alzira and Alt Del Campello (Vallada), and will be the toughest of the tour, finishing with the tough Cat. 1 climb of the Alt del Campello. Although only four kilometres in length, it averages over eight percent, and will be sure to split the peloton.
