The 2010 Vuelta Asturias had one final twist on Sunday as Constantino Zaballa (Loule – Louletano) claimed a solo victory which hoisted him into the top spot of the final GC. The five stage race featured four such changes in the overall standings.

Zaballa finished stage five 1:36 ahead of Ezequiel Mosquera (Xacobeo Galicia) and 2:22 in front of Pasquale Muto (Miche). Overall, the dominant stage win placed Zaballa 58 seconds clear of overnight leader Fabio Duarte (Cafe De Colombia – Colombia Es Pasion) and 1:17 ahead of Beñat Intxausti (Euskaltel – Euskadi).

Zaballa joined Duarte, his Colombia teammate Santi Perez, Mosquera, Andre Cardoso (Palmeiras Resort – Tavira) and David Gutierrez (Footon-Servetto) in an attack with 60 km remaining.

Ten kilometers later, Zaballa lost his place in the escape on the ascent of the Alto de San Lorenzo, but rejoined Perez, Mosquera, Cardoso and Duarte on the descent. With the race leaders marking one another, Zaballa attacked and built a lead of more than a minute, which he held at the start of the final climb, the Alto de Tenebredo. Mosquera attacked the pther chasers and closed to within 50 seconds of Zaballa by the time he had reached the final summit. However, Zaballa was superior on the descent and widened the margin up to 96 seconds in claiming the stage as well as the race.
