Cantabrian rider Oscar Freire won today’s stage in Santiago de Compostela. Additionally, the Rabobank star becomes the new holder of the race’s Golden Jersey. The stage, which was held between Alleriz and Santiago, saw a break that lasted for more than 100 kilometers by Raúl García de Mateo (Relax Gam), Manuel Vázquez (Andalucia Caja Sur) and Gustavo Domínguez (Karpin Galicia). With all three riders belonging to teams which were invited with a wild card, each was out to show that their respective team merited such “wild-card” status. The Relax, Andalucia and Karpin riders were finally caught a mere 12 kilometres from the finish by Angel Gómez (Saunier Duval). The final kilometres saw the Liquigas and Milram teams take control, although a crash within the final 3 kilometres saw the bunch thrown into chaos, with Daniele Bennati, Oscar Pereiro and Carlos Castaño coming off worst. With little more than 20 riders at the head of the bunch, Freire outsprinted Bettini (Quickstep) and Duque (Cofodis), proof that the uphill finish proved tough going for the pure sprinters.

Damiano Cunego and Oscar Pereiro have enjoyed contrasting fortunes today. The Italian rider suffered a crash during the first stage, although he was able to complete today’s Alleriz-Santiago de Compostela stage without the assistance of the race doctors. Another rider that was involoved in yesterdays crash, Sergio Paulinho, needed treatment of the race doctors during todays second stage.  While Cunego seems to be on the road to recovery, Oscar Pereiro has become a cause for concern. The Galician rider received a heavy blow to his hip during a crash today, and may require hospitalisation in order to discover the extent of his injuries. Carlos Castaño, the rider who got the worst of today's crash, certainly needed the attention of the race medics. The Karpin rider suffered a dislocated shoulder, which was put back into place by the race doctors during the stage. Nevertheless, the Madrid rider is to be subjected to medical tests in order to evaluate his condition in greater detail.

During the post race press conference, Oscar Freire admitted that he felt in fantastic form today: "I felt very good all day. I was second on the first stage, but I was not feeling very good. Today, however, I thought that the pace was too slow. And at the finish I saw that was not the case, rather that I was on very good form indeed. Plus, after four consecutive second placings, I think I deserved a change in my luck." Freire did not shy away from questions about the current state of cycling, offering his own opinion of the current situation: "I am not surprised by what is happening. Among other reasons, because when I won the Milan – San Remo, there were many more journalists who thought it was more important to talk about Jesus Manzano’s knee problems. That showed a lack of respect. To be honest, winning the Milan – San Remo is far more important some madman's knee problems. Valverde? Of course I want him to ride the World Championships, but if I’m on good form, he’ll have to help me."
