Marco Pinotti has won the fifth stage of the Vuelta al País Vasco from Güeñes to Zalla over 169 kilometers. The 33-year-old Italian from Columbia-Highroad reached the finish line alone, 19 seconds ahead of a group of the yellow jersey that stayed in the hands of Alberto Contador. The sprint for second place was won by Katusha's Ben Swift ahead of the Italian Francesco Gavazzi (Lampre). Pinotti had attacked to reach a breakaway group of two riders, and seven kilometers before the finish line he attacked once more.

"I did not attack [the first time] to win, but I wanted to spare my team the burden to work in the peloton," said Pinotti after the finish. "Then, I reached the duo in front, and I was faster than them in the ascent [to the Alto de la Beci]. On the descent I did not risk anything as the streets were wet. In 2003 I won a stage of the Vuelta al País Vasco, but under other conditions. That day, the sun was shining and the streets were dry," stated the Italian who dedicated this victory "to my wife Michela".

How it unfolded

Before the stage start started, the rain began to fall heavily and the riders did everything to keep themselves dry. Mostly, they did not get out of the warm team busses earlier than necessary. When the race started, the rain stopped for a moment but not for a long time. Frank Schleck (Team Saxo Bank) was the only one who did not start.

The stage promised to be quite hard, and together with the rain this caused some riders to abandon before the first mountain. At kilometer 28 Contentpolis-AMPO's Dioni Galparsoro, Rubén Pérez (Euskaltel Euskadi), Paul Martens (Rabobank) and Johannes Fröhlinger (Milram) escaped, but the peloton did not let them go.

The next group that tried its luck consisted of Joaquím Rodríguez and David López (Caisse d'Epargne), Cofidis' Rein Taaramae, Egoi Martínez (Euskaltel Euskadi), Liquigas' Andrea Noe, Christian Pfannberger (Katusha), Jesús Hernández (Astana) and Pieter Weening from Rabobank, but just before passing the summit of the second category Alto de la Escrita, the peloton caught them. Rein Taaramae won the classification ahead of Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas), Egoi Martínez and Aitor Hernández (Euskaltel Euskadi).

Astana did not allow any rider to escape during the next five kilometers, but after 43 kilometers of race Andy Schleck (Team Saxo Bank), David Moncoutié (Cofidis), Fuji Servetto's David de la Fuente, Maxime Monfort (Team Columbia-Highroad) and once more Joaquím Rodríguez, Christian Pfannberger and Egoi Martínez tried their luck. The fans on the first category Alto de Ubal saw Mouncoutié win the mountain classification, in front of Schleck, Martínez, Pfannberger, de la Fuente and Rodríguez. The peloton, lead by Astana, passed 40 seconds later.

Moncoutié won also the classification of the Alto de la Escrita when this mountain was passed for the second time. Second was de la Fuente, third Rodríguez and fourth Monfort.

The peloton was more attentive today than yesterday and did not let the breaks gain much time. The largest deficit of the peloton was at 1:35.

The third category Alto de Beci was very selective, as the riders had to pass it three times. Due to the rain and the cold, as well as the toughness of the stage, 54 riders abandoned the Vuelta al País Vasco, amongst them so well known riders like David Zabriskie (Garmin-Slipstream), the German champion Fabian Wegmann (Milram) and Silence Lotto's Thomas Dekker.

The breakaway group was chased down by the peloton 33 kilometers before the finish in Zalla, but immediately, Vladimir Efimkin (AG2r) and Alessandro Vanotti (Liquigas) broke away. Eventual stage winner Marco Pinotti joined them two kilometers later, and together the trio reached the intermediate sprint in Otxaran. At the last ascent to the Alto de Beci, Pinotti rode faster than his breakaway companions and was able to reach the finish line alone. The peloton caught Nibali and Efimkin, but Pinotti crossed the finish line 19 seconds ahead of the peloton at the finish line.

Tomorrow's final stage will decide the Vuelta al País Vasco: the time trial over 24 kilometers. The start and finish in Zalla will show who is the best rider of this 49th edition. Alberto Contador has only an eight second lead ahead of Samuel Sánchez, Cadel Evans and Toni Colom, who are all good time trialists.
