After yesterday's monster, today's roll along the Andulacian coast from El Ejido to Malaga was always going to be a little less exciting. Leaving the mountains behind the riders were greeted again by the heat with temperatures all day exceeding 30 degrees as they rolled up and down the cliffs, past white washed villages and through tunnels with the inviting sight of the Mediterranean always out of reach on the left hand side.

Victorious was Fassa's Alessandro Petacchi who racked up win number four for La Vuelta with yet another strong sprint which couldn't be matched by Zabel, Horrillo or O'Grady. Although Petacchi is without doubt the fastest of the sprinters here, it wasn't a done deal that he would win here today, having suffered as he did through the countless kilometres of yesterday's climbs. Following his win last Friday in Valencia, Petacchi remarked that he wasn't sure how he would go that day as the climb near the finish of the previous stage had cost him a fair bit of energy.

Petacchi's main rival once again was Erik Zabel, who, being a better climber, would have suffered less than the Italian in yesterday's stage. Petacchi explained to Cyclingnews that, "Yes for sure Erik always comes out of the mountains better than me, here in La Vuelta and always, but even if that is the norm here I have found myself feeling good. It is clear that I am the fastest at the moment, and I think that everybody is tired but today I just had a good sprint...and to me it signifies that in the end I am very strong."

Last year, Petacchi managed to achieve five stage wins in La Vuelta, to date here he has four, missing out as he did on a good opportunity the day Zabriskie escaped for his epic solo win. Petacchi doesn't think he can better last year's number of wins. "You have the book of the Vuelta don't you?" he said, implying that a quick look at the route handbook was evidence that to better five would be impossible.

"There is only the stage to Caceres to come and that is it - so it is pretty difficult for me to get more than five. I had an opportunity the other day but everybody in the group thought that we should wait for Valverde and sure David Zabriskie was very strong to stay away. But taking into account how difficult this years's Vuelta route is, as I said before it is a very hard Vuelta and I think that whether I make it to Madrid or not, four victories this year are as good or better than five last year."

He added that he thought that it was "important to get to Madrid. With the season I have had it would be good to finish the Vuelta. Some people have said I won't make it to Madrid, but I tell you if I don't it is not because I don't want to. After the stage to Caceres it is all mountains and I am very tired and I want to do well in Paris-Tours as well."

Given the nature of the stage, the race lead didn't shift with Roberto Heras continuing to wear the gold jersey he picked up yesterday after what Floyd Landis described to us as his "good run in gold". The points jersey came down to the finish and Erik Zabel (2nd) earned enough points to overtake (again) Stuart O'Grady, who finished fourth behind Pedro Horrillo. Whilst Petacchi talks of trying to get to Madrid, there is talk around that some of the other sprinters might be going home shortly. Erik Zabel told us at the start that many people are "lucky to still be here" given the toughness of the race.

How it unfolded

After finishing in the autobus in yesterday's 12th stage, Tyler Hamilton (Phonak) didn't take the start of Stage 13 and became yet another rider to succumb to the stress of La Vuelta. Hamilton was reportedly suffering from stomach problems for the last two days, and was clearly nowhere near his best. Ricardo Serrano (Cafes Baque) was another non-starter, having failed to make the time cutoff yesterday.

It was a fast start to the stage, with 46.2 km covered in the first hour as the riders swept along the coastline between El Ejido and Málaga. Finally Kevin Hulsmans (Quick.Step), Herbert Gutierrez (Cafés Baque), Josep Jufre (Relax) and Kevin De Weert (Rabobank) managed to get clear and built up a one minute gap by the 50 kilometre mark. But Fassa Bortolo was not in the mood for a hard chase today, and kept the tempo high enough so that the leaders only managed a maximum gap of 2'30 or so - nothing like what they needed to stay away.

Cofidis began working with Fassa and with 10 km to go, the breakaway was erased. Cofidis kept at the head of the peloton, driving it at close to 60 km/h before Fassa took over with a few kilometres to go. Petacchi's train worked like clockwork again and his powerful legs took over in the last 200m to once again hold off Erik Zabel for the win. Pedro Horrillo snuck ahead of a tired O'Grady for fourth.

In other news, Alejandro Valverde survived another day and despite his injuries and needing the attention of race doctors today, he is still intent on taking the fight to Roberto Heras.

Tomorrow the mountains return! First the crossing of the Cat. 2 Alto ventas de Zafarraya, then the Cat. 3 Alto de Los Bermeales before the final Cat. 1 Alto de Monachil and the plunge down into the historic Moorish capital of Granada reconquered by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1492.
