Telekom's Matthias Kessler has won his first race as a professional, taking the 5th edition of the GP Miguel Indurain in Estella in a bunch sprint. The German finished just in front of 2001 and 2002 winner Angel Vicioso (ONCE) and David Etxebarria (Euskaltel), with the judges having to deliberate for hours over the photo finish result.

The GP Miguel Indurain, previously known as Campeonato Vasco Navarrro de Montaña, Gran Premio Navarra and Trofeo Comunidad Foral de Navarra, is now named after Navarra's greatest cycling star, who cut the ribbon at the start of the race in Estella. The race consisted of several loops around Estella, containing one Cat. 2 and two Cat. 1 climbs, for a total of 186 km.

The race came alive on the climb of Echaurri (km 151) when Pedro Díaz Lobato (Paternina) attacked at the bottom, followed by Alberto Martínez (Euskaltel) and Benjamín Noval (Fuenlabrada). The three led the race over the top of the climb, with Martinez and Noval catching and dropping Lobato on the next climb, Alto de Lezaun (km 168). They were followed some 30 seconds later by Santiago Perez (Phonak) and Angel Vicioso (ONCE), who were another 10 seconds in front of the peloton.

The two leaders continued their break assisted by a tailwind until the final part of the race, which was gradually uphill. Martinez was caught with 4.5 km to go, followed by Noval at 2 km to go, by a peloton of 35 riders. The race was decided in a bunch sprint, with Kessler just managing to get his nose in front of Vicioso and Etxebarria.
