Denis Menchov (Rabobank) won stage 5 of the Volta a Catalunya in Arcalis (Andorra). The Russian clocked the best time in the mountain time trial in 38 minutes and 58 seconds while Vladimir Karpets (Caisse d'Epargne) ended up second and regained the overall leader that Oscar Sevilla (Relax Gam) had on Thursday.

Karpets was timed at 39 minutes and two seconds to take back the leader's jersey that he wore after the first stage of the Volta. Meanwhile young Remy Di Gregorio (Francaise des Jeux) finished a surprising third in 39'22. Yesterday's hero Sevilla finished about two minutes slower than Menchov. Karpets now leads the overall classification with a total time of 15 hours, 34 minutes, and 55 seconds while Menchov is now sitting second at 15 hours, 35 minutes and 11 seconds after the first five days.

Indeed Frenchman Di Gregorio's time was the first serious attempt at a best time of the day. Most of the riders were already done with the tough 17.1 uphill kilometers, and Di Gregorio's performance remained the best. Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) tried, but couldn't beat the Frenchman. The blond rider clocked 39 minutes and 26 seconds (4 seconds slower than the FdJ rider) and he was sitting in second for part of the day. Vino eventually ended up fourth.

Karpets was the ninth rider from the end of the starters and bettered Di Gregorio's time. But Menchov was waiting. The Rabobank cyclist, sitting fourth in the GC, found the right tempo to beat the rest. But he said the race is not over yet.

"The race will be decided in Tibidabo," said Karpets. "I have an advantage, but it is not very big because there are bonus seconds so we'd better be alert until the last day." The Russian thinks Saturday's stage is good to recover from the effort of the first five days and that the race will be decided on Sunday on the climb up Barcelona's Tibidabo.

Karpets admitted he expected more resistance from Sevilla who had to surrender the the overall jersey today. "I thought he would do better," said Karpets. His biggest rival for the overall win is now Menchov. "It is the first time I'll fight for an overall win with a friend."

The Caisse d'Epargne cyclist's team will try to control the race tomorrow. Karpets is hoping for better weather than today's cold and rain.

Stage 6 will go between Llivia and Lloret de Mar (177.1 kilometers). It will be a good chance for the sprinters still in the race if they are able to reel in any breakaways that will likely try for a win. Karpets is well positioned for the remaining two stages toward an overalll victory in Barcelona the Sunday.
