It was a strange day in Spain, but Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) came home with a great stage win. The 13th stage of the Vuelta almost went to Mauricio Ardila Cano (Davitamon-Lotto), but the Colombian misjudged the location of the finishing line. This mistake allowed Sánchez to zip by for the win. Denis Menchov (Rabobank) still remains in gold, just 47" ahead of Roberto Heras (Liberty Seguros-Würth).
Warm weather and some mild climbing greeted the riders on the 13th stage of the Vuelta a España. The peloton traveled northerly in the Cantabrian valleys. A flat first half, followed by three cat 3 climbs. The mid-way cat. 1 climb of Puerto de la Sía was cancelled, and replaced with the cat. 2 Puerto de los Tornos.

Early on in the stage there was a high speed crash, involving Mancebo and Steels. Tom Steels (Davitamon-Lotto) came out the worse, and needed to be taken away in an ambulance. The Belgian is reported in good condition after initially being unconscious. Shortly after, with 150K remaining, it was Constantino Zaballa (Saunier Duval-Prodir) to launch an attack. Zaballa is from this region, and he was exicted to show himself near home.

Zaballa helped form the day's major move, he was joined by nearly 30 other riders. This group was considerably thinned down, to four, by the top of the Alto de Fuente las Varas. The riders were: David Latasa (Comunidad Valenciana), Zaballa, Ardila Cano and Oscar Pereiro (Phonak). Pereiro had just joined the group after a solo chase.
The four made their way through the valley, and were caught by four other chasers: Oscar Sevilla (T-Mobile), Joan Horrach (Illes Balears), Sánchez and Pablo Lastras (Illes Balears). The group of eight had 1'30" up on the peloton with 15K to go, 7K of which was the final climb. On the opening slopes of the Puerto de la Sía the group fell apart. Pereiro and Ardila Cano worked their way off the front with 4K remaining.

The Spanish-Colombian duo were making their way to the line, pursued by the Euskaltel rider, Sánchez. The Cat-n-Mouse started in the final K, Ardila was able to move free. The Colombian misjudged the line, thinking it was 50 meters earlier. He started his celebration and Pereiro let off the gas, thinking the Colombian had won. From behind came Sánchez, who benefited from the duo's errors. The Ardila was understandably upset after narrowly missing out on a Vuelta stage win.
