Spanish rider Oscar Pereiro, riding for the Swiss Phonak team, has taken out the final stage of the Setmana Catalana that finished in Sabadell today. Pereiro outsprinted David Etxebarria (Euskaltel) and Wladimir Karpets (Itera), who were the members of a successful three man breakaway. Race leader Juan Miguel Mercado finished 23rd, 2'26 behind the winner, thereby keeping his 15 second margin over Telekom's Giuseppe Guerini to win the race overall.

The final stage from Vic to Sabadell contained just two climbs, both in the early part of the stage. It was just after the first climb (Alto De La Mansa, Cat. 3) that four riders escaped: Etxebarria (Euskaltel), Ferrio (Jazztel), Riera (Kelme), Pereiro (Phonak) and Karpets (Itera).

The five riders were allowed to go, as none of them posed a serious threat to Mercado. By kilometre 103 their lead was 6'24, enough to stay away for the remaining 40 kilometres. Riera had punctured by this stage and could not regain the leaders. The same fate befell Ferrio with 20 kilometres to go, but he managed to hold on for fourth place.

After a downhill run to the finish in Sabadell, it was Pereiro who surprised the normally quick Etxebarria to win the stage, with Karpets settling for third place. After Ferrio took fourth and Joaquin Rodriguez (ONCE) fifth, the sprint for sixth place was won by Miguel Angel Martin Perdiguero (Acqua e Sapone).

All of the main favourites were in this group of 50 or so, and the final classification saw Juan Miguel Mercado (iBanesto) take the win over Guerini and Serguei Gontchar (Fassa Bortolo). Erik Zabel won the points jersey while Joan Horrach (Milaneza) easily won the mountains jersey. Guerini had the consolation of winning the Most Consistent Rider award.
