Petacchi wins stage, Plaza takes general classification

By Monika Prell

Alessandro Petacchi (Milram) won the Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana's fifth and final stage, with the Italian beating compatriots Danilo Napolitano (Lampre) and Francesco Chicchi (Liquigas) in a bunch sprint. Spaniard Rubén Plaza (Benfica) took the general classification victory over compatriots Manuel Vázquez (Contentpolis Murcia) and Xavier Florencio (Bouygues Télécom), who claimed second and third respectively.

"The stage was very fast, my team did a great work," said an ecstatic Plaza. "[I am grateful to] my family and my friends who supported me always."

How it unfolded

The remaining 130 riders started the final stage at 1 PM in Valencia. Numerous spectators were drawn to the roadside by sunny conditions and 24°C as riders prepared for the flat 149.4 kilometres stage.

As with the previous days teams made their desire for an escape clear from the gun, which several teams constantly attacking the peloton. Extremadura - Grupo Gallardo and Andalucía - Cajasur led the early attempts to get away, but it took time before the right break formed and was allowed off the front. Jérôme Pineau (Bouygues Télécom), David López (Caisse d'Epargne), David de la Fuente (Saunier Duval Scott) and Julián Sánchez (Contentpolis - Murcia) were the first serious group able to escape, but the peloton chased them down just six kilometres later.

The next group tried its luck immediately and this time it featured the right combination of riders. Consisting of the Spaniards Luis León Sánchez (Caisse d'Epargne), Beñat Albizuri (Euskaltel - Euskadi), Eladio Sánchez (Orbea Oreka), Frenchman Stéphane Augé (Cofidis) and American Guido Trenti (Liquigas) was allowed to escape and to reach a maximum advantage of 5'42.

Yellow jersey holding team Benfica controlled the peloton, before starting to work with Team Milram to diminish the leader's margin. Trenti was the first to be caught by the peloton after the Liquigas rider experienced some problems and dropped out of the lead group.

With 20 kilometres to the finish, the quartet attempted to resist the peloton's chase and sat 2'18 ahead. Lampre, Milram, Contentpolis Murcia and Rabobank worked at the head of the peloton to reduce the margin.

In the breakaway group the four riders started to attack one another in the hope of a solo stage victory, but with four kilometres remaining the peloton chased the escapees down. One kilometre later time trial specialist José Iván Gutiérrez (Caisse d'Epargne) saw his chance and was able to draw a short margin over the peloton, but he was also chased down.

With the kilometres ticking away the stage finished in an anticipated bunch sprint in Paseo de la Alamada, where Petacchi was able to beat his compatriots Napolitano and Chicchi.
