Stage 5 - April 20: Colchón Relax (La Muela) - Zaragoza, 149 km
Petacchi takes three
Piepoli the overall
 |
Fassa Bortolo's Alessandro Petacchi took his third stage win in the Vuelta a Aragon, beating home David Fernandez (Colchon Relax) and Jan Svorada (Lampre) in the final stage. Petacchi also won stages 2 and 4, and thus took home the points jersey. The overall was wrapped up for the second year in a row by iBanesto's Leonardo Piepoli, who won the first stage and maintained his gap for the rest of the five day race. In second place was Gilberto Simoni (Saeco), who is looking in good shape for the Giro d'Italia, while third went to Manuel Beltran (Team Coast).
The final stage from Colchón Relax (La Muela) to Zaragoza was run over 149 km and offered nothing in the way of categorised climbs. The non-starters included Francesco Cerezo, Goncalo Amorim and Jan Ullrich - the latter preferring a rest day before racing in tomorrow's Rund um Köln in Germany. Ullrich was lying in 30th overall before his departure, and was satisfied with his performance.
Xavier Tondo (Paternina-Costa de Almeria) was the first rider to attack, escaping the slow moving peloton at kilometre 29 and riding away on his own. He quickly gained over 4 minutes lead before the peloton switched into chase mode, catching him with just 5 kilometres to go. The sprint was another regulation bunch finish for Petacchi, who had no problem in taking his third win in four days.
