Valverde takes uphill sprint
No danger for Piepoli
 |
Kelme's Alejandro Valverde has won the third stage of the Vuelta a Aragon in a tough, uphill sprint. The 22 year old who has won two other races already this year beat Milaneza's Angel Edo and Phonak's Michael Albasini. In fourth place was Marco Pantani (Mercatone Uno), while race leader Leonardo Piepoli (iBanesto) finished in sixth, and therefore kept his lead over Gilberto Simoni intact with two stages to go.
The third stage from Illueca to Illueca virtually started with the Cat. 2 climb of Puerto de la Chabola. First rider over the summit after attacking at kilometre 5 was Ag2r's Mikel Astarloza. He was followed at 3'22 by Pedro Cardoso (Milaneza) and Massimo Codol (Mercatone Uno) and the peloton.
Astarloza continued to extend his lead, and it was 6'23 by the intermediate sprint at La Almunia De Doña Godina (km 72). After that, the peloton lifted its tempo in preparation for the Cat. 1 climb of Alto de Aguarón (km 104). Astarloza still had 2'45 of his lead left over this climb, but it wasn't going to be enough to get him to the finish in front of the bunch. By the sprint at El Frasno (km 134.5) it was down to 1'20, and he was caught seven kilometres later.
Attacks came from Alberto Lopez de Munain (Euskaltel) and Pedro Diaz Lobato (Paternina) in the closing kilometres, but neither was successful in preventing the bunch sprint. On the uphill finish, it was Valverde who proved to be the strongest with Edo and Albasini following in his wheel.
Tomorrow's fourth stage is from La Muela to Borja over 168 km, and should not present any difficulties to the race leaders.
