Stage 6: Ubeda – Cordoba
A tricky stage with the long flat section and a hard hill before the finish with the line coming after a very steep downhill.
We decided to allow some of the boys to chase the break today instead of working in the peloton.
To our great surprise both Ludvigsson and Kessiakoff was allowed in the early break.
With 80 km to go the gap is constant at about 8 minutes.
But then stuff starts happening in the peloton with Nissan getting helped by both Club la Santa and Belisol in spite of the last two being present in the break with Pacheco and Albert. Tobias looked like the strongest of our front duo so I told Fredrik to focus on keeping the break alive at all costs and he put in some massive hauls in front.
At the start of the climb with 20 km to go the break held 4’50’’ on the peloton.
We were surprised by an early attack from Henao in the peloton and our GC guys ended up riding hard the last 15 km to chase him down. Ludvigsson did his best, but lost contact with the front on the final KOM so he went all-in on the descent with the GC battle continuing behind. Breschel gets Antón reeled in with 4 km to go but Henao still has a small gap while Tobias is figting to get back in the battle for the stage win. Albert is on fire at the moment, but Tobias did great to take a 3rd place. Henao proved why he’s in red, but the guys managed to close the gap right on the finish line denying him any time gain!

Stage 7: Almaden – Talavera de la Reina
After a couple of hard days for Willy today will be about resting as much as possible and playing it safe for us.
Commonwealth Bank and Rabobank collaborated in reeling in the break.
Since it came down to a bunch sprint anyway we decided to take part so Alex brought Matti to the front for the sprint.
With 1,5 km to go the Danish duo is in front followed by Sanderson and Leezer.
800 m and Breschel is in front. Surprisingly the pure sprinters seem to have trouble getting their speed up.
But there comes Rojas…
No win but a strong sprint by the boys nonetheless.

Stage 6 was quite hectic but great job by Novo Nordisk to not lose time on Henao. There might be quite some battle up for Points Jersey, seeing as Henao and Matti both fight for every point they can get.
"It’s a little bit scary when Contador attacks." - Tommy V
Shonak: I'm really happened we managed to pull in Henao just in time. The target is still the GC with Matti free to chase stages, so who knows what can happen in the points classification?
Stage 8: Talavera de la Reina – San Lorenzo de el Escorial
Back to the hills, where it’s all about protecting Willy…
With neither red nor an obvious stage favourite we don’t bother chasing the break and Albert goes in there again! Chris is unaware for a moment and crashes early on the first descent.
He looks to be ok so I give him a lot of bottles and tell him to get back to the others.
We decided that Albert shouldn’t be given another free pass and send some guys to the front to help Volkswagen and make the race as hard as possible instead of it just exploding in the end.
With 60 km to go Tobias & Co. have caught all the breakers and reduced the peloton to 61 riders.
Thinking of the mountain jersey as well as pressuring the others Willy goes to the front the last km of the climbs.
38 km to go.
45 riders remain in the peloton and Willy is 5 pts short of the mountain jersey. Antón is off with 5 km to the top of the final climb and Chris immediately covers the attack with Willy on his wheel.
This climb is to short for taking chances.
It’s a fierce battle all the way to the final 1,5 km but both Chris and Willy are still hanging on in the front group. Kreuziger is an expert on this kind of a finish, but the most important is that Ipsen didn’t lose any significant time today.
27 riders missed the time limit. None worth a mention.

11 seconds is okay considering that this finish wasn`t probably Willy's preferred kind of finish anyway. Good race tactics by Novo Nordisk to make the race hard.
"It’s a little bit scary when Contador attacks." - Tommy V
sutty: Yeah, he fought hard but was completely empty in the sprint. Still not more than he has a good chance of taking it back in the real mouontains hopefully
Ian: Very tough, but the boys did great to take the edge of the attacks.
Shonak: Far from his favourite finish. It seemed the hard pace throughout the stage took the edge of Henao and Antón so it was worth all the hard work and Löfkvists time loss.
Stage 9: Villacastin – Sierra de Bejar
Finally a decent climb again!
Nothing much happens in the first part of the stage so we’ll skip to 27 km from the line where Antón has sent white jersey Elisssonde to work chasing the break. Weening, Buts and Vantomme has just over two minutes to the peloton at this point. Tonning does a great job reeling in the break and with 11 km to go Henao decides to attack.
We reckon there's till plenty of time for us to reel him back in without Ipsen having to do much work yet.
With 4 km to go Henao and Kennaugh has a gap of 38 seconds to Ipsen’s group. Löfkvist did great preparing things for Ipsen, but the Dane has trouble hanging on for the final effort. This just wasn't his day... Henao holds on to take the stage win.
The Colombian is proving much more resilient than expected!

Stage 10: Salamance – Salamanca (ITT)
Time for Alex to show the rainbow and Willy to get back in the GC battle.
Castroviejo is the first big favourite to go out today. He lives up to the status by setting best time, but 8 seconds faster than Zubeldia doesn’t sound like a win… Durbridge cuts 7 seconds of Castrovejo’s time...
but Alex cuts 1’33 of the Australian’s time!
For some reason the locals abandoned their post before the final GC guys came around.
Ipsen is 10th on the first intermediate and 8th on the second. Willy even passes Antón on his way to provisional 3rd 19 seconds slower than Alex and 13 seconds slower than Kreuziger.
What a come-back from him!
To our great surprise Tobias was fast enough to take the white from Elissonde as well!
That brings a new situation for us...

Young Rider: Tobias Ludvigsson, Novo Nordisk - SAS
What an effort by Alex and Willy in the TT. Good pay-back from the previous mountain stage, where Willy lost just a bit too much time for my taste - I feel like Willy has to show more in the mountains, otherwise GC win or even Podium will be tough to achieve despite being currently ranked 2nd.
"It’s a little bit scary when Contador attacks." - Tommy V
As usual we will use the restday to take a quick glance at what the rest of the team has been up to since the start of the Vuelta.
Vattenfall Cyclassics
We went for the break. Quaade and McDermott were both reeled back in, but in the end our young stagiaire Martin Nielsen got away with 10 others including Cavendish.
That break was caught with 15 km to go.
As in previous years a few riders manage to get away from the peloton in the final few km and Gilbert holds on to take the win, while we place Kristoff perfectly for the sprint behind.
2nd behind Sagan in that sprint ain’t all that bad from the Norwegian!
