welker: I can't - at least not after Bøchman wasn't fit to participate due to a crash in training. I really lacked someone able to both attack in Vejle and ride a strong TT. And then Rabo was just too good on the flat stages...
sutty: He certainly did. The benefit of a quite GC-day in Vejle.

Miguel: I guess the winner is always right though???
He was the fastest and we weren't able to crack his team when we needed too...

Vuelta a España
Let's just have a look at what happened in Spain while I was in Denmark with the team
Stage 5: Granada - La Pandera
Stage 5 showed the first big mountain top finish. Surprisingly the break was allowed to last all the way.
We weren’t in it though, so the win went to Vorganov who could just feel Antóns breath in his neck on the line.
Chris finished 3rd among the favourites and Thomas 5th. A strong performance by both!

Stage 6: Cordoba - Valdepenas de Jaen
Stage 6 was another hilly stage with a downhill finish. After a fairly uneventful stage it came down to a showdown between the GC favourites.
Both Chris and Thomas tried to get away before the final, but in the end Urán was superior in the sprint. Tissot needs him to have more days like this to save them from relegation!

Stage 7: Baza - Murcia
Everyone thought stage 7 was supposed to be a bunch sprint, but we saw a hill near the finish and decided to challenge that view. Brian Steen Matzen attacked on the hill. Passed the remains of the early breakaway on the way up and went solo to the line.
Once again he shows his massive potential for the hilly classics!

Stage 8: Alicante - Valencia
Stage 8 was categorized as flat, but the right breakaway could have a chance considering a large hill on the first 1/3 of the stage. Stevenson and many others did their best to affect the race.
But the sprinter teams never looked like missing out on this rare chance for a sprint.

Stage 9: Tarragona - Barcellona
Stage 9 had breakway written all over it.
Cofidis wouldn’t let the break get away for some reason and in stead Chris slowly went to the front of the peloton and picked up 20 mountain points. But then 50 km from the line three riders got away. Weakest of them was Christofer Stevenson. A good effort from the Swedish veteran nonetheless!

Stage 10: Benabarre - Coll de la Botella
On stage 10 it was time for another mountain top finish. Once again Antón proves himself the strongest climber, but Chris is looking very strong as well as he goes for 2nd place on the stage.
Unfortunatele he couldn’t get rid of Urán and ends up being passed by Quintana as well.
Thomas rode the mountain calmly as usual and proved very resilient finishing 6th on the stage.

A good bunch of really solid performances showing the world just how excellent a form these guys have at the moment. Antón and Quintana seems to be at another level, but if Chris and Thomas can continue not to make any mistakes this could turn out big!

It was great for Matzen to be first across the line on the WT for the first time (2nd win since he was given Catalunya after a breakaway)
This Vuelta rest day have some important news about the teams future coming later today...

I hope that it won't be the same as with Monster-Petronas that he'll tell that the story will end.

BREAKING: Sponsor Leaving!
After several bad years for Volvo Cars Corporation financially they have decided to end their sponsorship of the professional cycling team Volvo – SAS.
The marketing director has issued the following comment:
We had hoped this sponsorship would help us change things around for us, but apparently promoting cycling doesn’t make people by more cars…
We have caught team manager Atlantius for a quick comment:
This came to a shock for us all when the Volvo-guys came to Copenhagen and told us this news just before the final stage of Post Danmark Rundt.
We have talked to SAS but they can’t step up and make up for the lost fundings allowing us to just carry on.
We are working hard and have a few different scenarios, but unfortunately we have nothing solid to say just yet except that we will certainly have a team next year as well - we just hope that we can get the funding needed to allow us to continue on the same level as now.
With an uncertain future for the team the captains of Volvo - SAS should be very determined to ride in a way that can attract a new sponsor for the next year.
If not we might suddenly see the biggest Nordic stars looking for a new team this close to the end of the season, where most rosters are completed.
