PONFERRADA, Spain (Reuters) -- Switzerland's Michael Albasini won the 13th stage of the Tour of Spain from Sarria to Ponferrada on Friday while Britain's Bradley Wiggins retained the overall lead for a third day.


Second behind the HTC-Highroad rider in the small bunch sprint that decided the 158.2 km mountainous stage was Italy's Eros Capecchi, with Spain's Dani Moreno in third.

Albasini was part of a 27 man breakaway that took off in the first hour of racing. Wiggins finished in the main pack around one minute 30 behind.

The Tour of Spain finishes on Sept. 11 in Madrid.
