Four escapees, amongst them Davide Rebellin of Team Gerolsteiner and Philippe Gilbert (Francaise des Jeux), attacked after 13 kilometers and dominated the race for a long time. The strong quartet compelled the bunch to work hard. On the final 50 kilometers Team Milram did most of the pursuit with six riders and made the gap shrink more and more. Eventually, on the last five kilometers, the escapees were caught up with.

After this hard pursuit, there was no power left to form the Milram-train. But this wasn't necessary this time. Petacchi could rely on Erik Zabel, who opened the sprint early and made his competitors do the same. 250 meters to the finish-line, Alessandro Petacchi sprinted from Bennati’s wheel and didn’t let his fellow countryman a chance. For the Milram-pro it was the second win in a row at this Vuelta, altogether the 19th. And it was also his 19th success in the current season. With his second win Petacchi improved himself to the second rank in the points classification behind Paolo Bettini (Quick Step).

Stage winner Alessandro Petacchi was enthousiatic about the assistance of his teammates: "I already mentioned it after the Algemesí stage, but I think I have to say it again today. The work of all my teammates has been excellent and I want to dedicate the victory to all of them, but I especially want to dedicate this triumph to Erik Zabel. He is a great person, a great champion and a cyclist who is giving everything he’s got with me in this Vuelta. Having him at my side calms me down and seems essential to me." Petacchi thinks that he will also go after the stage win on Friday: "It’s not easy because it Spain, you start very fast, a breakaway happens and straightaway we have to get down to business and try to catch them because the stages are short and there isn’t much of a margin to play with, either. I think we can look for the win tomorrow, but I’ll need the support of my whole team again."

Rabobank sports director Erik breuking said the team had no trouble to defend Denis Menchov's golden jersey today: "This day basically went rather smooth again. We rode a fast race, but everyone did. All of a sudden, these kind of stages have become very different without Freire. The main goal now is to make sure that we have no dangerous guys in the escape. That, fortunately, was not the case today."

"It was a fast stage the whole way through, because the sprinter teams really had to work hard to reel in the break. Karsten Kroon had good legs in the end and tried his luck in the sprint – partly to try and gain some experience and routine in this kind of finish – because you never know, when an opportunity is going to present itself. Tomorrow's stage is another flat one so the main thing is to watch out for the wind. Saturday should provide a good opportunity for a break though," said CSC sports director Kim Andersen

Italian rider Leonardo Piepoli was obliged to drop out of the race before the start of the 12th stage of the Vuelta. His pregnant wife gave birth but suffered complications that were serious enough for the Saunier Duval rider to decide to withdraw from the race and go to his wife’s side. Egoi Martínez, who hasn’t recovered from his accident yesterday, also was unable to start the stage. The third racer to withdraw today was Cyrille Monnerais.
