World number one Erik Zabel (Telekom) has won his first race of the season, taking the third stage of the Vuelta a Murcia in Caravaca. The German sprint specialist beat Swiss Beat Zberg (Rabobank), with Vlaanderen-T Interim's Nico Sijmens taking third place. The overall lead remained with Kelme's Javier Pascual Llorente.

Today's stage was run at a fast pace from the beginning, with the sprinters' first goal being the intermediate sprint at kilometre 4.5. That was won by Kelme's Alejandro Valverde (also in 2nd on GC), followed by Massimo Strazzer (Phonak) and David Etxebarria (Euskaltel). After several early attacks, US Postal's Victor Hugo Peņa and Rafael Díaz (ONCE-Eroski) succeeded in slipping off the front after 15 km. The pair stayed away over the Alto De Doņa Ines (Cat. 3, km 23), which was won by Peņa, but the peloton was closing in at 13 seconds behind.

Diaz went back to the peloton, while Peņa continued for another 15 km before everything came back together. The Colombian won this race last year, but lost 1'20 yesterday and will more than likely not be in contention for the overall in Sunday's time trial.

A group of 13 riders escaped almost immediately after Peņa was caught, containing Alvaro Gonzalez (ONCE), Mariano Piccoli (LAmpre), Luis Perez (Team Coast) and Antonio Colom (Fuenlabrada), among others. When they were caught 10 km later, a new group formed in front with Iban Mayo (Euskaltel), Pietro Caucchioli (Alessio), Kevin De Weert (Rabobank), Carlos Torrent (Paternina-Costa Almeria), Denis Lunghi (Alessio), Alvaro Gonzalez (ONCE) and Hector Guerra (Fuenlabrada). These seven were more successful than any previous breakaway attempt, and reached a 2'53 lead by km 93.

The seven were reduced to four after 87 kilometres, with only De Weert, Gonzalez, Lunghi and Torrent remaining in front. Torrent and Lunghi were first to the top of the Cat. 1 Alto Campo de San Juan (km 110), followed by Santi Blanco, Alvaro Gonzalez and Victor Peņa, who formed a new group of 5 in the lead. The peloton let them have up to 1'40 lead, but this proved to be not enough as they were caught with 1 km to go.

The 84 man sprint saw Erik Zabel power home at last to record his first season win, ahead of Beat Zberg and Nico Sijmens. Zabel, who has never raced in the Vuelta a Murcia before, said before the race that he was using it as preparation for Milan-San Remo, as it does not clash with Tirreno Adriatico this year.

Tomorrow's fourth stage is another uphill finish, taking the riders from Cartagena to Alto de La Santa, over 167.0 km. The final climb is not as tough as in stage 2, and only rates as a Category 3 climb.
