07.09.2007/ Erik Zabel (Milram) has won the seventh stage of the Vuelta Espana which went from Calaharra to Zaragoza over 176 Kilometers. Zabel catched Allan Davis (Discovery Channel) on the line, Paolo Bettini (Quick Step) came in third. Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse d'Epargne) defended his overall lead.

Soon after the start, two riders broke away from the bunch. Spanish riders Raul Garcia de Mateo (Relax-Gam) and Jesus Rosendo Prado (Andalucia-Caja Sur) soon established a lead of more than nine minutes. Milram and Lampre started the chase. For a long time, the main field let the escapees a lead of eight minutes. After the day’s only climb, the Puerto de Lanzas Agudas, however, the hunt to catch up started, which was also determined by Team Milram with Martin Müller and Matej Jurco.

30 kilometers to the finish, a crash happened in the middle of the peloton. They could, however, continue the race. Despite the crash, the peloton kept up the pursuit with high speed, and caught up with the escapees seven kilometers to the finish. Now, the Milram-train formed up in the lead, but another crash at two kilometers to go tore the peloton apart. The race was decided among a bunch of riders who broke away after the crash, among them Erik Zabel, who had the fastest legs. "Fortunately, there was only one of us, Alessandro Petacchi, involved in the crash," Erik Zabel said. "In the front there were still five riders, among them Marco Velo, who waited for us. Then, Alberto Ongarato closed the gap, so that I could pass to the front and start the sprint."

Oscar Freire (Rabobank) was not among the riders fighting for victory at the finish line in Zaragoza. And it wasn’t because of the spills that took place but rather a personal decision on the part of the leader in the points category: "I knew there were going to be a lot of people thinking they could win the sprint after the Logroño stage. That meant that we had a lot of possibilities of taking a spill in a tricky finish like the one in Zaragoza. Too many for my taste. That’s why I decided to put myself at the back of the pack, always leave a margin of safety and not get involved in the battle for the stage victory. Today, I preferred to lose time rather than take a risk, but I understand that I'm still going to have other opportunities to win in this Vuelta and I’ll have to try to take advantage of them."

Before the eighth stage, an individual time trial over 52.2 kilometers from Denominación de Origen Carinena to Zaragoza, the overall classification didn’t see any changes again. Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse d’Epargne) is still 1:06 minutes before Denis Menchov (Rabobank).
