Nice presentation for the Angliru

Fingers crossed for a good stage by Lovkvist but I bet on Menchov to win this one!

No, no. I am twice as good as him, and three times more handsome. I just don`t like to show off

Good second place with Lovkvist!

I think Contador will do it on the Angliru!

Bring on the Anglirú!

Lovkvist must win Angliru!

Angliru in a few minutes. A lot of pictures and a great battle and maybe that Contador won, or Lovkvist or someone else

Vuelta a Espana Stage 13


The breakaway.


Karpets crashes on the last downhill of the day


Popovych is the first rider that attacks Angliru this year


Problems from the begining for Lovkvist. He didn't start Angliru in the front group


But Devine helps him and he is back


Fothen attacks


Zubeldi, Popovych and Kloden are chasing him down


A move by Levi...


Ricco, Valverde and Garate trying their luck too


The big favourites go to the front of the race togheter.


Lovkvist doesn't look to be able to attack today


And Valverde, Contador and Evans soon caught Fothen


Leipheimer is now there too. 5 riders in front


Ricco and Garate are the second group


And the pack with Mosquera setting the pace


Lovkvist is looking better. He is in a way better position


They lost Evans. Contador is trying to get him back


Now a gap is made between Contador-Valverde and Fothen-Leipheimer


Evans is in front, looking good


Fothen cracks. Ricco is now with Leipheimer!


Evans wins on Angliru and probably the Tour of Spain


Contador is second. So no surprises today


A very nice performance by Lovkvist, 17th on Angliru and 11th in the overall rankings having the same time as Astarloza, the rider that is on the 10th place

Good luck in Poland, and nice work by Lövet!

Tour de Pologne Stage 1


A lot of escapes we had today but still no chance to win for them


Our train is there but it looks like Quick Step are faster


Boom almost got us in front, but Boonen seems to be a better man to follow today


He takes the lead and he looks confident


Probably a podium today for Mark but nothing more


Cause the winer is Boonen

Vuelta a Espana Stage 14


Pinotti is in the breakaway. He seems to want the KOM jersey


The escapes start the last climb in front


An early attack by Valverde


Garate and Leipheimer made their moves a little bit later


Lovkvist, Menchov and many others go with them


Valverde caught Pinotti and he left him behind


An chasing group is made by Menchov, Leipheimer, Evans, Pellizzoti and Garate


And they almost caught Valverde


But he still gets the win


Lovkvist finishes 13th the stage, and maintain his 11th place in the GC

Yay, a stage win for Boonen in Tour de Pologne

And wtf, Evans winning multiple stages and leading the GC with more than 3 minutes? This is really unrealistic. Damn Cyanide!

Tour de Pologne Stage 2


Only one man in the breakaway


Because of the wind a group with Bettini, Hanses, the whole CCC team and a few more riders lost the contact with the pack


Hincapie prepares the big move


And what a move! Only Langeveld can keep it up with us


But soon we are alone


The 'sprint' starts


Looks like Cav wants to give to win to Hincapie for the great job that he did today


And yes, Hincapie wins

haha, I love the windy flat stages Always happens!

What a stage!

Vuelta a Espana Stage 15


Devine is in the breakaway


And only De La Fuente and Zambrano, from Extremadura could keep it up with him. Still no chance for any of them to win today.


After some attacks...


Lovkvist was first in the last climbing point of the day


He was also first on the downhill


But the others are closer and closer


He is still leading in the last kilometre...


Again very close, but not victory for Lovkvist. Astarloza is the winer
