Vladimir Karpets (Caisse d'Epargne) won the 87th Volta a Catalunya that finished today in Barcelona. Meanwhile, Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) took the final stage from Lloret de Mar to the Catalan capital prevailing over Vuelta a Espana champion Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana).

Karpets took the general classification over Australia's Michael Rogers (T-Mobile) and Russia's Denis Menchov (Rabobank) who finished second and third respectively.

Sanchez ended the stage completely exhausted; hardly getting off the bike before dropping to the ground. "The team needed the victory to come to the Tour de France (with confidence) so we had to try," he said.

Sanchez said that when Vinokourov pushed with 300 metres to the end, he thought the Astana rider would win. "The key was that I could resist at that moment," he explained, something he says his rivals used to think was his weakness.

After ending up with the overall win, Karpets is sure that Caisse d'Epargne team will do well in the Tour de France thanks to the potential of its riders. But when the Volta winner dedicated his great victory to departed cyclist Isaac Galvez, he discarded himself among the favorites' list for the overall triumph in Paris. "First one should be among the top ten and then on the podium (before expecting to be able to win)," the Russian said.

Karpets said that he felt this Volta win was his second best result behind the white jersey in the Tour de France, saying that the effort it took to retain the Volta overall jersey in Sunday's final stage because of the tough climbs of Tibidabo, was overwhelming.

At km 32, Bradley Wiggins (Cofidis) and Sandy Casar (Française des Jeux) made a break and eight kilometres further up the road the pair were joined by Casar's team-mate Benoit Vaugrenard and were able to get a gap to the bunch. The peloton didn't want them to stray too far so their maximum advantage was 3'05 as the bunch, controlled by Caisse d'Epargne, rode tempo behind. The trio were finally caught at km 109 with 10 km to go.

With two kilometres remaining, Sanchez and Vinokourov came out of the favorites' group for a two-man challenge. The Spaniard held a faster tempo which the Astana rider could not answer, giving Sanchez the final stage victory atop Mt. Tibidabo.
