J.J. Haedo took stage 3 (© Cyclingheroes) |
Juan José Haedo won the stage after a bunch sprint and the General Classification was unchanged.
"He [JJ Haedo, editor] was tremendous in that finish. He knew exactly where to position himself in relation to Graeme Brown
and I actually think he's the strongest out of all the sprinters down here with both this victory today and the one on Sunday,"
said CSC sports director Dan Frost after the stage.
"We'd actually hoped to be part of a break today, but six guys
escaped early on and we had to do some hard work in the peloton in stead. Things were pretty much under control though and
when it came to the sprint the whole team did a great job of lining JJ up," explained Dan Frost.
Rabobank's Graeme
Brown opened the bunch sprint in the third stage, but finished in third place. "Of course afterwards, you can say that you
probably started too early," Rabobank's sports director Frans Maassen said. Maassen continued by saying: "He is just very
quickly. We have been beaten, something that can happen."
Before the race, Maassen was convinced that Brown would be capable to win because of his victory earlier this week and
because he won the third stage of last year. The last fifty kilometers were exactly the same, but unfortunately the positive
expectations were not fulfilled. "We will have to try again on the last day."
Aitor Perez (Extremadura) defended his overall lead. Tomorrows stage is a 23 kilometres long time trial from Alhama
de Murcia to Alto de Aledo.
