Reports
Alex Zuelle looks set to celebrate his first Tour of Spain win by heading an all-Swiss trio on to the winner's podium on Sunday after following home compatriot Tony Rominger in Saturday's time-trial.
Rominger's win moved him ahead of Italy's Roberto Pistore into third place in the overall standings, two minutes behind fellow Swiss Laurent Dufaux who retained second place behind Zuelle.
Sunday's final stage over 165 kms, starting and ending in Madrid, is over mainly flat terrain and expected to finish in a sprint.
Rominger won the stage from Zuelle by 13 seconds, with Dufaux finishing fifth, over two minutes back in provisional timings.
It was Rominger's second time-trial win of the Vuelta and a splendid achievement for a man who seemed to have dropped out of contention after a poor third stage.
``I'm happy, since then I've moved up from 91st place to third,'' said Rominger.
The stage also marked the return to form of Laurent Jalabert, who fell from second to 20th place overall earlier in the week after suffering a stomach upset.
Jalabert came in third, one minute 47 seconds behind Rominger in provisional timings.

Swiss cyclist Tony Rominger's win in the 43km time-trial 21st stage of the Tour of Spain from Segovia to Palazuelos de Eresma on Saturday elevated him into third place overall -- assuring Switzerland of the three podium positions.
Alex Zulle of Switzerland retained the leader's overall yellow jersey, while compatriot Laurent Dufaux stayed in second.
It's not the Tour of Spain its the Tour of Switzerland! Rominger, a three time winner of the Tour of Spain, joked.
Rominger, who lost more than seven minutes in the third stage, was trailing Zulle by 11 seconds at one point in the time-trial but Zulle eased up when it became clear that Dufaux was not threatening his lead.
Switzerland's Alex Zulle won his first major cycling Tour here on Sunday winning the Tour of Spain.
Zulle's compatriots Laurent Dufaux and Tony Rominger, a three time winner of the Tour, finished second and third overall.
Zulle, 28, provided his ONCE team with their second successive Tour of Spain triumph, following Frenchman Laurent Jalabert's 1995 victory.
Rominger, who lost his world hour record to Britain's Chris Boardman earlier in the month, hauled himself back into a podium position after losing more than seven minutes in the third stage.
Rominger also incurred Dufaux's displeasure when he helped Zulle keep within touching distance of him on Thursday's stage. This came after Jalabert and Dufaux had been accused of colluding together in organising an escape that would put pressure on Zulle.
As for Indurain his bronchitis was yet another indication of his fading powers and he never appeared to be comfortable, though he had only ridden in the race because of team orders.
Despite all these factors Zulle still won the Tour on merit, and he now looks as if he can fulfill his potential by improving on his runner-up spot to Indurain in the 1995 Tour de France.
