The Argentinean crowd went wild when their local time trialist Jorge Giacinti stormed to victory in the Tour of San Luis' stage three 20-kilometre time trial. Giacinti posted the best time of 23:44, nine seconds faster than America's Tom Zirbel (Bissell) and ten seconds ahead of the defending champion Martin Garrido (Palmeiras-Resort).

"I've been training really well and preparing for this race," said Giacinti, who won the time trial two years prior. "The time trial is my speciality and I only hoped for a day like today. The first importance was that my teammate, Lucero, moved into the leader's jersey today. The second importance was to have a very strong time trial for myself."

Team Argentina doubled up on GC podiums with Alfredo Lucero and Giacinti moving into the top two positions, respectively. Previous day's winner Sebastian Haedo started the stage with a sixteen-second lead over Lucero. He lost more than a minute to his compatriot, which moved him down into third place.

"The time trial went very well and it was important for me to do my best in order to take the leader's jersey," said Lucero, who placed third in the previous day's road race. "I wanted to take the jersey and I did. Yesterday's road race was very hard and I thought I would be a little tired today. It is incredible for me to do well at this race. It is the biggest race in Argentina and San Luis is my home city."

Giacinti gained a bonus of 50,000 pesos donated by the municipality of San Luis for his time trial victory. The large prime was the topic of many discussions at the start of the week-long event. Zirbel noted the hefty loss by placing second but was pleased with his own performance nonetheless.

"You never know what to expect coming into racing in mid-January," said Zirbel. He had placed second in the US national time trial championships, one second behind Dave Zabriskie (Garmin). "The key is to stay hydrated because I'm definitely not used to this heat. I knew I could be very competitive today. There is a lot of talent down in South America. We don't come down here thinking we are going to have a free ride, just because we haven't heard of them. There is a ton of talent down here and they don't give an inch when it comes to bike racing."

Basso sprinted to ninth place

Italian Ivan Basso was by far the race favourite. The San Luis fans waited for hours in the scorching heat to catch a glimpse of the 2006 Giro d'Italia winner in action. While his ninth place performance might have disappointed some, Basso was more than pleased to have the first time trial of the year under his belt.

"I think I did a great time trial," said Basso after his 24:22 ride. "I did the first half with the second fastest time of the day. I think in the final five kilometres there was a strong head wind and my condition was not ready 100%. I know on paper it is nothing special but it is still January and a test of my performance. I paid a little today but I am still really happy."

Basso congratulated the top three for their impressive performances. The Tour of San Luis was considered the most important race of the season for South American riders. "I think the two Argentineans who were on the podium are in top form for this race," Basso said. "They were very strong. You can't compare my performance to theirs because I just arrived from a lot of snow in my city."
