Officials cut the ribbon to mark the start of the day's stage …
Rabobank's Óscar Freire blasted his way to a second consecutive stage win in the Ruta del Sol, overcoming Lampre's Grega Bole and Simon Gerrans (Sky) at the finish line in Benahavis.
The bunch sprint allowed stage one winner Sergio Pardilla Bellón (Carmiooro NGC) to keep his lead in the overall classification.
Laurens Ten Dam (Rabobank), Jelle Vanendert (Omega Pharma-Lotto) and Damiano Cunego (Lampre), the three victims of yesterday's unfortunate crash in the final kilometre, did not take the start.
The mountainous third stage, which included three category 2 and two category 3 climbs was no match for the sprinters, and with 30km from the top of the final climb the peloton was intact for the fast track to the finish.
Feillu and Gomez Marchante try to steal a march on the sprinters
The probability of a sprint didn't deter the climbers from trying to get away, however, and by kilometre five the day's breakaway had already formed.
Brice Feillu, winner of the Tour de France stage to Arcallis least year, escaped along with José Angel Gomez Marchante (Andalucía-Cajasur) on the very first climb to Alto de las Nieves.
The pair built up a substantial lead over the rapid succession of clmbs that followed. By kilometre 50, the gap was over four minutes, but the chase by Milram and the team of leader Pardilla pulled that down to just under three minutes by the descent from the Puerto del Agua, the third pass of the day.
The gap held steady near three minutes over the Puerto de las Abejas, and by the final climb of the Puerto de Ojen the pair had tired and led by only two minutes.
The Milram team continued to help the Carmiooro NGC team chase, and by the 25km-to-go mark the pair had successfully been neutralised.
Despite all the work from the German team, Rabobank was the squad who profited thanks to the speed of its Spanish sprinter.
Fabian Wegmann handed Milram a fourth place finish ahead of Angel Vicioso (Andalucía-CajaSur) and Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank).
Omega Pharma-Lotto's Jurgen Van den Broeck remains in second place overall ahead of Manuel Vázquez (Andalucía-CajaSur).
