The Spaniard Manuel Váquez (Contentpolis-Murcia) won the queen stage of the Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana. Second was his compatriot Rubén Plaza (Benfica), who became the new leader of the race. Third was Xavier Florencio (Bouygues Telecom).

"I wanted to do a good stage, I knew the terrain perfectly and I tried to benefit from this fact," Plaza commented after taking the overall lead.

The hometown of Rubén Plaza welcomed the peloton today; Ibi was the start and the finish of the third stage of the Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana. The numerous fans of the Benfica rider were not put off by the rain that accompanied the signing in, but thankfully for the start the rain stopped and the riders had good conditions: sunny and 17°C.

From the beginning, the attacks were numerous and once more, Bouygues Telecom, the team that was one of the most active during the last days, tried to get one of its riders in front, this time Matthieu Sprick. But the peloton chased every intent down, and so, on the ascent to the first of five mountains, the Alt de Canalí (3rd category), the race was all together. Manuel Váquez (Contentpolis-Murcia), the leader of the mountain classification, wanted to defend his jersey and so he attacked and won the mountain classification ahead of his team-mate Adrián Palomares and Rubén Pérez (Euskaltel-Euskadi).

The next breakaway group, consisting of Daniel Navarro (Astana), Luis León Sánchez (Caisse d'Epargne), Markel Irizar (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre), Josep Jufré (Saunier Duval-Scott), Juan Olmo (Andalucía-Cajasur), Timothy Duggan (Slipstream) and Jonathan Castroviejo (Orbea - Oreka S.D.A), tried its luck. The intermediate sprint in Biar was won by Duggan before Olmo and Castroviejo. After 20 kilometres, the breakaway attempt was foiled.

Some kilometres later, Stef Clement (Bouygues Telecom), Koos Moerenhout (Rabobank) and Patrick McCarty (Slipstream) escaped. In this order, they passed the intermediate sprint of Ibi. The peloton let them go, as none of these riders was dangerous for the leader. The maximum advance of the trio was 4'52". Josep Jufré (Saunier Duval-Scott) tried to bridge to the trio.

Moerenhout won the mountain classification of the Port de Tudons (2nd category) ahead of McCarty and Clement.

In the ascent to the Puerto de Torremanzanas (2nd category), the advantage of the trio decreased more and more. The peloton, downsized to more or less 70 riders, was getting itchy; Pierrick Fédrigo (Bouygues Telecom), David De La Fuente (Saunier Duval), Maxim Iglinsky (Astana) and Daniel Petrov (Benfica) tried their luck.

Later, on the ascent to the last mountain of the day, the Port de Carrasqueta (2nd category), consecutively José Ángel Gómez (Saunier Duval), Alberto Contador (Astana), Rubén Plaza (Benfica), Manuel Váquez (Contentpolis-Murcia) tried to escape. In the end, Plaza and Vázquez were able to keep clear. Plaza was the first to pass the summit of the last mountain, ahead of Vázquez and 15 seconds before Alberto Contador (Astana).

Nine kilometres before the finish line, the motorcyclist who directed the race lost his way and a group with leader Iván Gutiérrez (Caisse d'Epargne) and Alberto Contador (Astana) followed, parallel to the race route. It was a dangerous situation as the motorway was not blocked to normal auto traffic. One kilometre before the finish, the group was able to join the official route, but they no longer had a chance to reach Plaza and Vázquez. The two Spaniards finished the stage in a sprint; Vázquez was faster than Plaza, but Plaza became the new leader of the Vuelta a la Comunidad Valenciana.

The race continues tomorrow with stage four, from Naquera to Naquera, 175.6 kilometres.
