Just like in the tour, the last stage of the vuelta wasn't a big deal. In the beginning of the stage there were alot of riders who fooled around a bit but when they entered the circuit it started to become serious. A high pace was set by Milram and Lampre and no one could escape from the raging peloton. It became a sprint, but Koldo wasn't placed perfectly so he became ok seventh. Benatti won the sprint and with this victory he also won the points classification.
Of course in the general rank nothing changed but more about that and the other classification the next day(s).
