The second stage race in Spain this month will most likely never see a true sprinter shine in any stage. Hilly riders feel at home in this race, and the hilly rider with the best TT skil will probably take this race.
Team participating:
B&O
Benfica
Gatorade
Molteni
NVidia
Zenmind - Evolution
LA/MSS/Pearl Jam B
Favourites for the race: Angel Vicioso (Gatorade), R. Lobato (Molteni), J.I. Gutierrez Palacios (Zenmind), I. Rovny (B&O) and B.Tankink (NVIDIA)
Good Luck

Itll be interesting to see how it will all work out - I think this is the smallest race on the calendar in terms of amount of teams in it

I don't tend to do well in races with few teams in them. I think I have Keinath here also. He seems a bit stronger than Rovny.

Keinath is better in the TT and Rovny is better in, well, everything else that matters for this race. I think he will do better than Keinath. Although Keinath will probably make the top-10.
But I don't see this race being any different from the Vuelta Ciclista a Lleida with Vicioso dominating...

Isn't Keinath like 72 in hills, while Rovny is 73 or something like that?

I double checked and you are right. Keinath 72 vs Rovny 73. So I guess they are pretty much balanced. Rovny has better Stamina, Endurance, Resistance and Keinath has better TT.

VIcioso and Gatorade are looking like they will shoot up the rankings, but I hope Wegmann could ride well.

Looking at the profile, maybe the 4th stage will see something different! We can always hope!

Gatorade (255) and Benfica (234) both take hugh points scores away from this race which helps them to close the gap on the Top 10 teams.

Another position change is that Molteni take 9th from White Bear Steyr, while B&O continue to extend their lead at the top.

Individual Ranking
At one point we had thought that Tom Danielson would be uncatchable in the Individual Standings - not any more. Both Vicioso and Hagen are within 50 points of the American and both have more races to come than Danielson has. Meanwhile, Daniel Moreno is up to 9th, and Gutierrez + Lobato enter the Top 25.
