Liquigas' Daniele Bennati broke the Katusha stranglehold on the Challenge Mallorca with a emphatic victory in a dangerous sprint after 182.6 kilometres into Inca. Bennati was lucky to avoid a crash in the final bend which took out Caisse d'Epargne's Alejandro Valverde, and powered to the win with a one second time gap over Rabobank's young Dutch sprinter, Tom Leezer and Quick Step's new recruit, Jérôme Pineau. José Joaquin Rojas moved from fourth to second overall after his fourth place on the stage.

The absence of previous stage winners Robbie McEwen and Gert Steegmans (Katusha) from the front of the group could be easily explained by the fact that stage three took riders away from the flat valley roads and up and over three categorized climbs within the final 70 kilometres. The altitude was also responsible for the catch of the early breakaway which escaped at kilometre 60.

Anthony Gibb (Plowman Craven - Madison), Eriz Ruiz (Orbea) and Romain Villa (Cofidis) managed to build up a maximum 10:20 advantage before the ascent of the first climb, the Coll de Soller. As the trio approached the category two climb, they still had seven minutes on the chasing peloton, but would splinter on the way up and concede three minutes to the Caisse d'Epargne-led bunch by the top.

Over the top, only Ruiz survived in the lead, while Gibb and Villa fell back to the comfort of the main group. Ruiz managed to stay clear to take the special sprint in Soller, the category three Coll de'n Bleda and the intermediate sprint in Dieà over the next 20 kilometres before capitulating to the chase.

The furious pace set by Caisse d'Epargne continued on the final climb, a category two slog up the Coll de Ca'n Costa, where David Arroyo led his team over the top to claim all of the points on offer. The effort split the group, leaving a bunch only 50-strong to take the quick descent back to the town of Inca. The work of the Spanish team then continued, putting the second group nine minutes in arrears by the finish.

Javier Ramírez (Andalucia Cajasur) attempted to spoil the sprinters' party by launching an attack with 14km to go, but he could not resist the relentless pace of Caisse d'Epargne and conceded with three kilometres remaining. The sprint looked to be in the hands of the men in black and red, but a crash by Manuel Quinziato (Liquigas) in the final bend left Valverde with nowhere to go. The incident disrupted the sprint, allowing Bennati to take the stage and the overall lead by one second. Valverde was not seriously injured.

Wednesday's stage heads back into the hills for another challenging stage with five categorized climbs over 143.3km. With the final trip up the Coll de Soller inside the last 10km, it will be a day for a climber with daredevil descending skills.
