Stage 21
It's the final stage of the Vuelta and I can't be happier that its finally over. My body is aching and I'm just mentally drained. Today was a 28 kilometer flat time trial that should be won by anyone who isn't to worn out. In 5th place a minute and 9 seconds back was José Iván Gutiérrez.
I came in 4th going only 5 seconds faster than Gutierrez.
3rd place belongs to Sebastian Lang who held the best time for most of the stage but was beaten by 54 seconds.
In 2nd place was Steensen who barely beat Lang. They both finished with the same time.
It wasn't a big surprise who won. Gerdemann had the best legs and dominated the stage, securing his 2nd place finish for Milram.
