Valverde extends lead with stage victory
Spain's Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) extended his overall lead at the Volta a Catalunya after winning the third stage from a breakaway of 10 riders. Valverde leads the race by 14 seconds over Astana's Haimar Zubeldia, with four stages remaining.
"This victory is very important for me and all of team Caisse d'Epargne," said Valverde. "Today my team-mates did a fantastic job in the first climbs and after that I just had to attack in the last one so that a small group arrived together on the finishing line, where it was rather easy for me to win the sprint.
"Tomorrow will be another very difficult stage and we will fight to be ahead," he added.
Riders faced temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius during the undulating stage. A small group was allowed a five minute lead during the early kilometres of the race, while Caisse d'Epargne firmly controlled the margin from the front of the peloton.
As the peloton entered the final climbs, Valverde's men closed the gap and a group of general classification contenders moved to the front of the race. The final group included Valverde, Zubeldia, David De La Fuente (Fuji-Servetto), Daniel Martin (Garmin - Slipstream), Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel - Euskadi), Xavier Tondo (Andalucia-Cajasur), Jakob Fuglsang (Team Saxo Bank), José Angel Gomez Marchante (Cervelo Test Team), Mikel Astarloza (Euskaltel - Euskadi) and Alexsandr Dyachenko (Astana).
Both Marchante and Martin are hopeful of riding themselves into the race lead on tomorrow's 175.7 kilometre stage. Both riders sit within 21 seconds of Valverde and tomorrow's hilltop finish at Vallnord-Sector Pal presents an opportunity for the general classification standings to be narrowed further.
"Marchante is in good form [but] we need to be realistic, he is not at the peak of his power, because since his crash in Paris Nice he has only raced in the Tour de Romandie," said Cervelo sport director Alex Sans Vega. "Tomorrow will be a really hard stage but we will try to be in the front with Marchante."
Irishman Martin is also expecting stage four to be another tough day in the saddle. "Tomorrow is another super-hard and hot day and hopefully the climb will suit me better then the sprint training of today," he said.
