The 62nd edition of Vuelta a España began on Saturday with a 145-kilometer stage in and around the town of Vigo in the western part of Spain. The stage culminated in a traditional bunch sprint, which was won by Lampre's Daniele Bennati ahead of Rabobank's Oscar Freire. Milram's Alessandro Petacchi came in third.

The stage was dominated by a breakaway of three riders: Dimitri Champion (Bouygues Telecom), Geoffroy Lequatre (Cofidis) and Serafín Martínez (Karpin-Galicia) attacked after 26 kilometers.

After 78 kilometers there was a crash in the bunch, Tom Danielson (Discovery Channel), had to abandone the race after the crash. Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Fondital) was also involved and, although he was able to finish the stage, it reamins to be seen how bad his injuries are.

Serafin Martinez attacked after 109 kilometers but soon after his former breakaway companions were caught by the bunch, Martinez got company from Jeremy Roy (FD Jeux). Roy dropped Martinez but soon the young French rider was caught by the chasing bunch with the Milram train preparing the sprint for Alessandro Petacchi. After Phillipe Gilbert (FD Jeux) attacked and was caught again the bunch sprint begun.

Milram's train for Petacchi miscalculated and Ale Jet didn't stand a chance as he was coming in the wind to soon. Bennati and Freire passed Petacchi.
