Zaballa wins while Menchov continues as leader
Constantino Zaballa (Saunier Duval) has taken the victory in the third stage of the Vuelta a Aragon, beating Oscar Laguna (Relax-Bodysol) and Vladimir Karpets (Illes Balears) in a seven man sprint. The group escaped on the last descent of the day, and held the peloton off by just 5 seconds. Race leader Denis Menchov (Illes Balears) kept his leader's jersey.
The third stage contained some big climbs, including the Cat. 1 climbs of Puerto de Cotefablo (km 32) and Puerto El Serrablo km 92). However, the Cat. 3 climb of Alto de Navasa (km 146) was also important due to its proximity to the finish.
After five kilometres, a group containing Francisco José Lara (Paternina), Ivan Parra (Com.Valenciana-Kelme), Sylvester Szmyd (Saeco), Alberto Contador (Liberty Seguros), Niki Aebersold (Phonak) and Andrei Zintchenko (Milaneza-Maia) got clear from the peloton, and had established a one minutes gap to the peloton at the base of the first climb. Illes Balears controlled the peloton on the climb, allowing the group to stay clear over the top. Sylvester Szmyd won the points ahead of Alberto Contador, with Lara and Parra the only two riders able to hang on. Aebersold and Zintchenko tried to catch the leaders on the descent, but failed and were eventually caught by the peloton after 85 km.
The four leaders survived over the second climb, Puerto de Serrablo, with Contador beating Szmyd to the top ahead of Parra and Lara. The peloton was getting active now, with Zaballa and Garzelli claiming the fifth and sixth spots in the mountain sprint. The break was eventually caught just before the final climb, where Garzelli continued to show his good form by taking the points ahead of Zaballa and the persistent Contador, who took the mountains jersey as a result.
On the descent, a group of eight riders extracted itself from the bunch: Zaballa, Laguna, Karpets, Peio Arreitunandia (Cafes Baque), Jan Hruska (Liberty Seguros), Santiago Perez (Phonak), Rik Verbrugghe (Lotto-Domo) and Oscar Mason (Vini Caldirola). The latter dropped out of the break, leaving seven men in front. They were just able to hold off the fast finishing peloton, with Zaballa winning the stage ahead of Laguna and Karpets.
Tomorrow's fourth stage of the Vuelta a Aragon is from Huesca to La Muela over an almost entirely flat parcours. With Sunday's concluding stage also containing few difficulties, it looks as though Denis Menchov should be able to win his second Spanish stage race in a row.
