Rebellin scores season's first in Andalucía
|
Davide Rebellin won his first race of the season Wednesday at the 55th Vuelta a Andalucía. The Italian of team Diquigiovanni-Androni won stage three in Benahavís, Spain, over Filippo Pozzato (Katusha) and Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto).
"I knew I was on form, but I did not think that it would arrive so soon," Rebellin said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
He won the neck-to-neck sprint with Pozzato after 162.5 kilometres of racing. The duo started at 200 metres from the line.
The win was the silver medallist's first victory racing with Gianni Savio's team Diquigiovanni-Androni.
Dutchman Joost Posthuma of Rabobank finished with the main group to maintain the overall lead by two seconds. Tomorrow is the final day of racing, a 165.8 kilometres stage from Torrox Costa to Antequera. (GB)
