Vuelta a Espana Stage 16
Kloden was really fast today, as in all the important stages. But as alaways you can't win a Grand Tour in a non-important stage but you can lose it
Luis Leon Sanchez lost the white jersey. Can he get back now?
Lovkvist is slower than Kloden, but faster than Sanchez so he will keep the white jersey
Karpets beat both Kloden and Lovkvist. He seems favourite to get the gold jersey
Cunego lost almost 3 minutes today, but his climbing abilities still make him the big favourite to have the gold jersey in Madrid, though that Karpets, Soler and even Lovkvist have a good chance now
Just one day in gold for Soler. Karpets will take the jerey. Soler is now third havind the same time as Lovkvist, who is second
