The pro continental teams continue to dominate the Volta a Catalunya, with Adolfo Garcia Quesada (Andalucia-Paul Versan) winning the fifth stage ahead of David Arroyo (Caisse d'Epargne) and Eladio Jimenez (Comunidad Valenciana). The stage finished with another successful breakaway holding off the peloton, which came in nearly a minute behind. But the overall leader's jersey remained with Carlos Castaño (Kaiku), who is favoured to win this race in two days time, despite being threatened in today's stage.

How it unfolded

Stage 5 was a 161 km stage between Llívia and Manlleu, featuring the cat. 2 Alt De La Creueta after only 30 km, and the cat. 2 Alt De Sant Agusti with 24 km to go. The stage started with 190 riders, with former winner M.A. Martín Perdiguero (Phonak) and Nicolas Roche (Cofidis) not signing on. After a fast and aggressive start, the first sprint at Molina (km 16) was won by Eladio Jiménez (Comunidad Valenciana), from Adolfo García (Andalucía Paul Versan) and Ludovic Turpin (Ag2R). This caused a split in the peloton that was only repaired after 23 km, but then a group of 16 riders had got clear.

The breakaway group contained some interesting names: Joaquin Rodríguez (Caisse d'Epargne), Denis Menchov (Rabobank), Christophe Moreau (AG2R), Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner), Eladio Jiménez and Rubén Plaza (Comunidad Valenciana), Adolfo García and Francisco Lara (Andalucía Paul Versan). On the Alt de la Creueta, Moreau was first ahead of Jiménez and Plaza, improving his lead in the mountains classification. By the 60 km mark, the break was a minute ahead of the hard chasing peloton.

Phonak and Kaiku sought to bring the leaders back, and after 73 km, the peloton was together again. But the calm didn't last long, as another group of riders counter-attacked almost immediately: David Arroyo (Caisse d'Epargne), Mikel Astarloza (AG2R), David Cañada (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Luis León Sánchez (Liberty Seguros), Jorge Ferrió (3Molinos Resort), as well as Eladio Jiménez, Rubén Plaza and Adolfo García, who were in the earlier escape. Their advantage grew to 2'25 after 95 km, putting Cañada in the virtual leader's jersey, as he had started the day just 2'13 down.

At the sprint in Borreda, it was Jiménez ahead of Cañada and Plaza, and over the next 25 km, the breakaways extended their lead to 4'45, and Cañada was two and a half minutes ahead of Castaño on GC. Luis Sánchez and Rubén Plaza dropped out of the group, reducing it to six riders.

Kaiku then started to chase hard, and the gap came back to a more manageable level. On the last climb of the day, the Cat. 2, Alt De Sant Agusti, the peloton stirred things up with Mancebo and Botero putting pressure on Castaño and his team. But they couldn't break the deadlock, and the bunch reformed over the top. On the fast run into Manlleu, the leaders came back to 55 seconds, which was enough to move Cañada into second overall at the end of the day.

Cañada crashed with 1 km to go (but didn't lose any time), and the stage win went to Garcia Quesada, who beat an annoyed Arroyo and Jiménez at the finish in Manlleu. In the peloton, Mancebo and Botero also crashed inside the last three kilometres, as did Robert Hunter, who had to go to hospital with a suspected broken collarbone.

Tomorrow's sixth stage is between Manlleu and Lloret de Mar, over 166 km. It contains more climbs than today, and the cat. 1 Alt de Sant Grau (6.3km at 6%) may split things up in the last 40 km.
