If anyone doubted the sprinting form of Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit) they were silenced on Iurreta-Emakumeen Bira’s Stage 3b, as the Dutchwoman powered away to claim the stage victory. Vos put a gap on her sprint rivals as she cruised across the line, more than two bike lengths ahead of nearest rival Emma Johansson (Redsun Cycling Team).

Italian Eleonora Patuzzo (Safi - Pasta Zara) finished third in the sprint while fourth place for Germany’s Judith Arndt (HTC Columbia Women) was more than enough for her to keep the overall lead she collected on the morning’s time trial stage.

Arndt holds a 12 second lead over compatriot Claudia Häusler (Cervelo Test Team) with one tough stage remaining. Cervelo sport director Egon van Kessel pledged his team would do everything it could to regain the leader’s jersey and win the tour tomorrow.

“She is still in second and tomorrow’s final stage will be another hard one with more mountains, especially towards the end of the race about 10km from the finish,” said van Kessel. “We want to win this and we will try very hard tomorrow to do just that.”

HTC-Columbia team manager Ronny Lauke is hopeful his rider will overcome the challenges ahead to claim back-to-back titles at the Spanish race. "Sunday is by far the hardest challenge. It's 130 kilometres long and has four classified climbs. Plus the weather isn't getting any better,” said Lauke. “Hausler's closest so she's the biggest threat in theory. But Judith has good form at the moment and the whole team is very motivated. We'll be giving it 100 percent."
