Daniele Bennati (Lampre-Fondital) has earned his second stage victory of the 2007 Vuelta. The Italian sprinter surprised his rivals and made the Milram train useless. Bennati outsprinted Paolo Bettini (Quickstep) on the finish line and Alessandro Petacchi had to settle for third place.

The 176 kilometer long stage started in Ciudad Real and the finish line was in Talavera de La Reina.  Juan Olmo (Andalucía) and Jorge García (Relax-GAM) were the main figures of the day.  Olmo and García were in the lead for many kilometers, but Milram controlled the race for Petacchi, the maximum lead of the breakaway was only 5 minutes.

Daniele Bennati, the winner of the 17th Vuelta stage, talked about his joy at winning in Talavera de La Reina and his disappointment over not being selected for the Italian national squad at the World Championships in Stuttgart: "It’s never easy to win especially in three-week races, and even less when you're coming in after three weeks of doing the Tour de France. Nevertheless, I’ve demonstrated that I’m the fastest Italian rider in this race. That’s why it bothers me that I wasn’t selected for the World Championship. And even more when I start thinking that the two editions after that don’t shape up well at all for me but the World Championship in Stuttgart did seem to offer a good chance for a racer of my characteristics. That’s why it bothers me."

Denis Menchov and the Rabobank team  are now faced with a decisive triptych in the Vuelta: two mountain stages, of which the toughest is scheduled for Friday, and another time trial. The final day is just ceremonial. "It was a calm day for us. Everything went according to plan. In other words, the calm before the storm. We are now awaiting two difficult stages. We'll know more on Friday," said Rabobank sports director Erik Breukink. He does not really fear the race against the clock on Saturday. "Twenty flat kilometers. That should suit Dennis well."

Today's Talavera de La Reina stage didn’t prompted any changes in the different overall standings of the Vuelta, but one man did draw much closer to first place in the points category: Daniele Bennati. The Italian rider for Lampre now has a total of 118 points, just behind the 122 earned by Paolo Bettini. Petacchi has 106 points so there will be plenty of excitement until the finish. In the battle for the gold jersey, the standings remained stable: Denis Menchov is still in command. In the mountain category, the duel between Jurgen Van Goolen and Menchov is just as tight, while Menchov also tops the combined standings. Caisse d’Epargne has the lead in the overall team category.
