Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) has won again. The Italian obtained his 12th stage victory in Grand Tours in 2003. Today he took the fifth stage of Vuelta España between Soria Natural and Zaragoza in a time of 3:19:26 (50.15 km/h) just ahead of Angel Edo (Milaneza-MSS). Julian Dean (CSC) finished third and Erik Zabel (Telekom) fourth, both 2 seconds behind. Spain's Isidro Nozal (ONCE-Eroski) retained the golden leader's jersey for the second consecutive day.

After the stage, Miguel Martín Perdiguero (Domina Vacanze) echoed the thoughts of many when he said about Petacchi, "Every sprint he has, every sprint he wins. There's no doubt he is unbeatable this year".

Some riders did not find it so easy today, as the peloton flew over the 167 kilometres at an average of over 50 km/h. Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) is still suffering from his crash in Monday's stage in Santander, and although he hasn't lost much time, he is doubtful whether he'll be able to fight for the leader's jersey.

"I could recover a lot from that crash," Sevilla told Spanish radio. "However, I had a bad moment in the first kilometres today because of the pain. I'm making a great effort to keep racing. I have to thank my team for all its support. My problems in my hip and my elbow are diminishing."

About the upcoming hard stages in the next few days, Sevilla said, "I don't know how I will feel. I will give it everything and I hope we all can watch the normal Oscar Sevilla."

Aitor González (Fassa Bortolo) is not having a spectacular Vuelta so far. The defending champion is some way off the top riders in the general classification. "If I have some problems in the next key stages, I will think about next year's season. It's not that I'll give up, but this year things are not going as well as in 2002. I remain in a positive frame of mind, but in this Vuelta it's more difficult to get an outstanding result."

How it unfolded

The 190 riders that finished yesterday in Burgos started in Soria Natural today. It was a sunny day, but the strong wind caused problems for the riders in most parts of the stage. A breakaway went at kilometre 8 with four riders in it: Spain's Igor Astarloa (Saeco) and David Navas (Relax-Fuenlabrada), Italy's Mariano Piccoli (Lampre), and The Netherlands' Karsten Kroon (Rabobank). Little by little the gap grew: at Matalebreras (km 52) the leaders were 3'37 in front of the peloton and at Agreda (km 62.2) they were 4'08.

Just before Agreda, José Luis Martínez (Paternina-Costa de Almería) attacked in pursuit of the four leaders, but it was a futile effort and he could not make any inroads on the four minute gap. His teammate José Antonio Pecharromán decided to abandon the race at the feed zone (km 81.3). Pecharromán started the Vuelta not in good condition. Besides, the young rider was thinking of next year in his new team Quick Step-Davitamon more than the current competition.

Paternina director Juan Martínez Oliver told Spanish radio "we can't pay Pecharromán as much money as Quick Step. He was thinking of his new team since he reached an agreement with them and he wasn't doing his best. I've helped him, especially when his father died this year, but he wanted a team change. His exit is not a surprise."

Twenty kilometres later the gap was 6'20, but this was the beginning of the end for the break. The peloton started to reduce the difference, with the leader's team ONCE-Eroski as well as Fassa Bortolo riding a strong tempo. The gap between the leaders and the peloton was diminishing little by little. In Borja (km 104) the front riders were 4'36 in front of the field, while the lone Jose Luis Martínez was caught at km 105.

After Borja the peloton split in three big groups as the crosswind caused some problems, but most riders were able to get back into the main group. 45 km from Zaragoza and the gap was 2'35, and the break was finally caught with 16 km to go. There was a crash in the final kilometre where Alessandro Cortinovis (Lampre) and David Latasa (Kelme) came down on a corner. The Italian went to a hospital with a neck bone injury.

The corner created a small gap at the front of the peloton, and Alessandro Petacchi made it look easy as he led Angel Edo to the line, a little way in front of Dean and Zabel.

Stage 6 - September 10: Zaragoza-Zaragoza, individual time trial 43.8 km

The sixth stage is a 43.8 km individual time trial in the streets of Zaragoza. The route is completely flat- perfect for the time trial specialists. Isidro Nozal has a chance to retain the golden leader's jersey if he is able to demonstrate he is not bad against the clock. But it won't be easy with his teammate Igor González de Galdeano just 50" behind in the general classification.
