167-kilometre (104-mile) ride from Jerez de la Frontera ending with a
category-one summit finish at Alto de Penas Blancas. Konig finished with a time
of 4 hours, 9 minutes, 46 seconds. Moreno was 1 second behind, and Roche crossed
5 seconds back. Konigs strong day moved him up to fifth in the overall
standings, 29 seconds off Roches leading pace. "The first part was steep and the
final part more steady. I knew that if I survived the first part I could attack
in the second," Konig said. "We are going for the overall classification and to
get in the top 10, but also to pick up some stages. So it was a great day for
us." The 25-year-old Konig, who rides for NetApp-Endura, also won a stage of the
Tour of California earlier this month. The ride that took the peloton along the
southern coast and then up a steep mountain with spectacular views of the sea
below shook up the top part of the overall standings after two days of
tranquility. Roche, the Irish SaxoBank-Tinkoff cyclist, opened up a 17-second
lead over Moreno and American veteran Christopher Horner. Former leader Vincenzo
Nibali ended up 18 seconds behind. Former Vuelta winner Alejandro Valverde was
31 seconds behind in seventh place, while fellow Spanish favourite Joaquim
Rodriguez was 1:03 back in 10th. Roche, who won the second stage last Sunday,
said he was surprised that he had taken the lead from Nibali. "The other day
when I attacked and got the win I missed getting the red jersey," Roche said. "I
thought that if Nibali focused on other riders I could pick up a few seconds
here and there and thats what happened today. "Every year I come to the Vuelta
with the dream of wearing the red jersey one day. Its incredible." Garmin Sharp
rider Daniel Martin abandoned the race before the days start after falling on
Friday. Sundays ride is a 163-kilometre (104-mile) mountainous stage from
Antequera to Valdepenas de Jaen. The three-week grand tour finishes in Madrid on
Sept. 15.
