Things are looking good for us at the moment, but only the mountain jersey is safe. The GC can still be decided on bonus seconds and Ludvigsson can't afford mistakes to keep hold of the youth jersey.
I believe in the guys, and with the battle for green still being so close Thomas shouldn't feel to sure that he will get something home from here!

Tour of Britain
Stage 7: Bury St.Edmonds-Colchester
Even flatter than yesterday, so pretty much same strategy. Depending on how the stage evolves we might have a go at the three intermediate sprints.
The first break of the day get away surprisingly easy, but Orica – GreenEdge quickly show that they haven’t changed their attitude towards the race.
The attacking keeps on going so the first sprint is taken by a group of breakers.
The second sprint is taken by Thor ahead of a small group of breakaway riders. Thor is now in the lead of the points competition.
After that sprint several groups try to break away but it took a group with no Falcons to get the “Go” from Orica, so with 33 km to go Taylor Phinney has one minute to Rathe and Förster and 4’30’’ to the peloton.
Once again we leave the work to the teams, who actually have something to win by reeling in the break…
With 20 km to go the peloton seem to give up on the chase and start preparing for a sprint to the 4th place.
Phinney takes the victory comfortably, while Davis once again is the strongest on the line.
Thanks to the bonus seconds Thor won early on the stage Geraint Thomas is now 24 seconds behind. That means he can no longer take the GC win thanks to bonus seconds! On top of that Hushovd now holds the points jersey 1 point ahead of Thomas before the last stage.

Stage 8: London (Newham)
A short stage expected to be a feast for the sprinters, but we must not underestimate the hills on the route.
Plenty of attacking at first but on a stage as short as this one no one is really allowed away.
As usual the break is allowed to go as soon as we don’t send a rider in there. This is getting kind of annoying!
Once again Orica – GreenEdge take charge of chasing the sprint.
For us it’s all about Hushovd vs Thomas.
Orica gets rewarded for their work.
With 500 m both Hushovd and Thomas is far back in the group and pretty much level.
On the line Thor was the fastest thus making sure to win the green jersey as well as the yellow.

Vuelta a España
Just a quick overview of the last week in the Vuelta
The Last Mountains
In this last week Purito proved he was the strongest and most consistent on the climbs and that way he built a lead of more than five minutes before the final TT.
Getting Desperate
We really wanted a stage win, so the guys just kept on trying every day. Once again Kjell was the closest with his 2nd place on stage 18.
Stage 19 was not only the last chance to get the stage win, but Kjell actually had a chance to win the mountain jersey as well.
He did very good throughout the stage, but on the very last hill Rodríguez picked up just enough points to take the jersey back.
Another day alone
One final Timetrial to decide the GC. Purito had more than five minutes, so the victory was quite certain but the places 2-5 was within a few minutes so the rest of the podium was up for grabs.
Cancellara took another win ahead of Samuel Sánchez.
Stage Winners
Stage 16: Nicholas Roche, AG2R La Mondiale
Stage 17: Joaquím Rodríguez, Katusha
Stage 18: Carlos Barredo, Rabobank
Stage 19: Diego Ulissi, Lampre - ISD
Stage 20: Fabian Cancellara, RadioShack - Nissan
Stage 21: Pierrick Fédrigo

Thanks for the support. We just didn't have that last bit of luck in the Vuelta. Carlström was in the decisive break at least four days two of those he finished second so we wasn't far from a stage win.
And then losing the mountain jersey with 3 pts on the very last hill of the race. Guess it's fair to say that Purito is a slightly better climber than Kjell Carlström so no shame in losing to him...
Coming right up: World Championships!

A good race for the Nordic countries and good for Bochman with a great 20th place. And go Cancellara
