Wow what a thriller, and what a well-designed stage that was, a beauty. Extremely close finish there with some great fighting. Glad that Contador didn't lose too much time and even managed to extend it his lead on some of the fiercest rivals. But if the collective attacks of favourites continue, it'll end up costing us too much energy.
Thanks bikex!

This Vuelta is shaping up to become the most thrilling GC of the season as it looks! Great battle put up by the GC men and our relegation fight opponents are trying their best to get Alitalia back in the last 3.
Cigar City was a great race for me with the youngsters stepping up again (think i didnt comment on it yet )
Good effort by CarbonSports on Vuelta S8. Ciolek looked like a strong domestique in the vid and Betancur was brave enough to attack. A shame that after we suffered so often from not given gaps this season this group was given time gaps when they are far less obvious than on so many other instances.
Like I said, the collective favourites attack are going to hurt us in the long run although everytime Contador seems to come bounce back in time. He needs to react faster tho.
Thanks bikex.

yes sir! a win was very much needed after the slow start, now we are back where we want to be: on the Vuelta podium
surely Nibali will overtake us though, so more of that is needed...7 riders involved in the GC battle is stunning though - and Henao so far with a Rolland ICLTDF16 performance is amazing too
Two more different stage winners for 2 more teams.
Looking at my own team Italo: It's great to see that in almost every stage we get someone in the top5. Now Kamyshev when Viviani was a little behind. In 7 out of 10 stages we had someone in the top 5. In the other 3 stages we were twice 6th and once 7th, so always someone in the first 7. Only a matter of time until we get our own stagewin I hope.
