American Tyler Farrar is the clear favourite. EA-Sony can only hope for a successful breakaway, or else we are going to have to try our luck sprinting again. Which hasn't been so good this season.
Everyone wants to be in the breakaway today. 4 different sets of groups try to get away, but all pulled back by Garmin early. So Leigh Howard's efforts for EA-Sony early don't pay off.
But finally Garmin slows down the tempo to let this 5 man group get away. Including our other Austrialian Matthew Hayman.
They get a max gap of 7 minutes with 90kms to go.
But from the there Garmin turned up the jets again, catching podium contender Gerald Ciolek off guard! He hits the road hard, and is clearly injured. He is able to get back in the peloton, but surely this fall will effect his chances at the finish.
22kms to go, Hayman launches one last ditch attack.
The peloton is a minute and half behind.
To no use. Garmin had everything under control today.
Now its Farrar's job to finish off their hard work.
In a new twist, Garmin totally disappears from the front with 3300 meters to go. It's the other American team RadioShack setting the tempo. Pichot sits nicely 5 riders back. Jake Keough is nowhere to be found.
How about this, Machado tries to attack when RadioShack pulls off the front, Pichot tries to follow. Garmin are just now starting to reappear at the front again.
Garmin storms to the front and catches Machado. In the meantime things just keep getting worst for EA-Sony, Jake Keough now crashes. But does get up and finishes the race, word on his status will be available after the race.
Back to the finish, Garmin does the double. But its Farrar who finishes 2nd to teammate Haussler. Guess the American didn't want it that bad. Pichot is the best EA-Sony rider in 18th. Other favourites Ben Swift (11th), Ciolek (38th).

Game Crash Sorry
Interview - Jake Keough
Q: How you feeling?
A: A little sore, but luckily no broken bones or anything. So I'm still good to race.
Two flat stages left and Larsson needs to find a way to steal bonus seconds if EA-Sony wants to win this tour two years in a row.
14 men jump into the opening breakaway,
and surprising the peloton lets them open a small gap.
So a few more men try to cross the growing gap.
But that pulls the triger, the peloton picks up the pace.
And at the first sprint point everyone is together, and in a lack of effort on our part the yellow jersey goes under the line in 2nd
and steals 4 seconds on Larsson.
By the second sprint point we weren't going to make the same mistake, Brice Feillu tries to get another breakaway started in the process as well.
4 men get away, Feillu has a good chance to win the KoM contest after already racking up 4 points on the first stage. The other 3 men sit on zero points with all 3 remaining KoM climbs on route today.
José Herrada takes interest in the first climb,
Feillu takes 2nd. Herrada 5pts, Feillu 7pts.
In a close battle on the next climb, Herrada just leads them over.
Feillu 10pts, Herrada 10pts. 1 climb left.
While the peloton is closing down the gap nicely,
two men still think they can get away to steal the stage.
The orginal breakaway now has broken up as we reach the last sprint point on todays route, Herrada is still going strong up front.
Feillu just can't keep pace.
The two late attackers fly by Herrada,
however Herrada just hangs on to take 3rd on the climb.
Meaning he will win the KoM competition by 1 point over Feillu.
Clearly the rain earlier in the stage combined with the fast pace was going to the effect the riders at some point. Massive crash! Ackerman is the only EA-Sony rider down, and most of the favourites are safe up front as the crash happened near the back.
As the riders in the front get word of the news the tempo slows greatly, Larsson sees his window to attack! Perrig Quemeneur follows.
But the sprinters weren't going to let this late crash ruin their bunch sprint, they are both brought back. A nice try nonetheless.
1st Grega Bole, 2nd Bobbie Traksel, 3rd William Bonnet.
All three move a little bit closer to the top of GC as well.
Larsson drops a spot to Bole, and is now 3rd overall.

Interview - Brice Feillu
Q: Just missed out on winning the mountain competition, anything you would do differently?
A: Not really, whenever I tried to push my legs to go faster my energy was drained super fast. Plus I was struggling to recovery as well. And still I almost got Herrada on the line on mountain two. Oh, well better luck next time.

What a pity with the mountain jersey, losing it by only some small centimeters. Nevertheless, third is a pretty decent result imo. And I think I didn't say that before: I like the shape of your screens. They are nicely different from the other stories around which gives your reports a very special "flavour".
The final stage, and it's still anyones race to win. Larsson is 7 seconds back with 3 sprint points early on the route giving out 6/4/2 seconds,
while the finish does a ratio of 20/12/8.
Check 1: Phinney takes 2nd for 4 seconds, and Larsson picks up
2 seconds crossing over 3rd. Only down 5 seconds now.
Check 2: Larsson does his job, takes the full 6 seconds available,
and is now the virtually leader.
Heading to the final sprint point Phinney jumps into a breakaway attempt.
Rabobank doesn't like that and pulls them back,
giving Larsson the chance to take more seconds.
Phinney is right there as well. Larsson wins the sprint, Phinney 2nd.
G.E. Larsson now leads by 7 seconds. However the finish still looms ahead with sprinters Grega Bole and William Bonnet
able to win the tour with the stage win.
So after all the early action today a breakaway is finally able to form.
Lucky for us Rabobank still wants to protect their yellow jersey,
even though Larsson is riding in invisible yellow.
The catch is made with 6.1kms to go.
So the sprinters will get one last chance to win this tour.
Larsson and Phinney find a nice spot on Bole's train,
but are clearly tired after their actions earlier in the stage.
One finally bend until the finish, Bole is in a perfect position,
while Bonnet can't be found.
Kristof Goddaert (FDJ) is fighting with Daniel Oss (Liquigas)
and Grega Bole (Lampre) for the win.
Larsson wins the tour if Bole finishes 3rd, they will go to microseconds if he finishes 2nd, and Bole wins the tour if he wins the stage.
At the line Goddaert wins! Oss nips Bole for 2nd! Larsson wins the tour!
WAIT ... WHAT!!! Grega Bole wins the stage! HOW ... are you guys blind!
EA-Sony gets robbed again. I shouldn't say robbed, more like murdered. Unbelievable, plus Phinney loses the youth competition
to Kristof Goddaert by 1 second to make things worse.

Interview - Gustav Erik Larsson
Q: What have you heard about what happened at the finish?
A: Nothing! The organizers have just left the scene and flied. What bunch of idiots! Can't believe a professional cycling race ended like this, a true disappointment for the sport. And it sucks our team got the shortend of the stick again! Angry and frustrated, peace out ...

Last year's edition showed pure domination by RadioShack,
but with RadioShack not here this year who will step up.
Larsson looks like the best man for the job with an overall weak startlist.
This 5 stage tour starts with 2 flat stages, followed by a hilly stage
and then a ITT. And ends with another one for the sprinters.
The first attempt at the morning breakaway is
caught right before the first sprint point.
Everyone wants to be in the breakaway today,
at one point 25 riders were out in front of the peloton.
But with 110kms to go, everyone is back together once again.
But here we go again, Jimmy Licina joins Sérgio Sousa
and Tomas Swift Metcalfe at another try at it.
And finally we get the BOTD, Sousa outsprints Licina at
the next check point, they hold a 5 minute lead.
Sousa might have got Licina at the sprint, but Jimmy shows he is the best climber in the group.
And again the second time around the circuit,
however their lead is down to 3 minutes.
On the third and last time around the peloton makes the catch,
however Sousa survives to take 2nd again on the climb.
Which ties Licina and Sousa on 12 points each.
So the sprinters get what they want. Larsson does a great job
putting Phinney right in the middle of the action.
A really close finish, Aidis Kruopis just beats Koldo Fernández.
Danilo Napolitano takes 3rd. Phinney grabs a top 10,
and Licina gets to wear the mountain jersey tomorrow.
So overall a good day for EA-Sony Ericsson.

Interview - Taylor Phinney
Q: A nice result for a change for the EA-Sony sprinters, what was different this time around?
A: The leadout, Larsson put me in a great spot with 800 meters left, and I was actually passing other riders instead of being passed for a change. Hopefully we improve even more for tomorrow's stage becuase this felt really good.
Another flat stage ahead for the riders today,
another chance for the sprinters before we hit the hills tomorrow.
But with a rather weak startlist a breakaway might have a chance today, especially if the peloton lets 13 riders go.
And they do! These 13 men pull out a 5 minute gap by the
second sprint point, EA-Sony are without a man in the break though.
By the third sprint point, a few kilometers later, the gap is
hovering around 6 minutes, the peloton doesn't seem worried.
Fast forward to 8kms to go, the breakaway is still away.
And the peloton now has lost all interest in catching them.
So Larsson takes Phinney on his wheel to chase them down themselves.
They cruise across the gap leaving the peloton in the dust.
With 1100 meters left everyone starts sprinting all over the road,
Phinney has a chance to steal the win if he can find a gap.
Phinney just didn't have enough time. But they do outsmart the peloton and steal 47 seconds. Geert Steurs of Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator will be partying all night after that surprise win, and gets to wear yellow tomorrow for his efforts.

Interview - Taylor Phinney
Q: A strange last few kilometers, what were you think when Larsson said jump on were going after the breakaway?
A: I looked at him and told him lets do this, and he did. He had incredible speed and caught the peloton way off guard. I guess the World ITT Champ is starting to get things figured out because that was a great show of strength from him.
The moment of truth, we will the find the true GC contenders today.
Another large breakaway will try their luck again today,
hopefully looking for the same result as stage 2.
But as we near the first climb their gap is just two minutes,
it doesn't look good for them.
The steep climb starts, riders are just trying to stay in contact.
With 16 KoM points on top, Santiago Pérez will now be the
new leader of KoM competition.
Taylor Phinney can't keep up on the climb and is dropped,
Thomas Peterson goes back to try and drag him back.
Kessiakoff jumps to the front to set the tempo when Nieve attacks away.
Soon it's just Nieve leading the field, behind are Kessiakoff, Larsson,
and Licina who is having a great tour so far as a youngster.
5kms to go now, Euskaltel - Euskadi now lets Amets Txurruka
and Gorka Verdugo attack now as well.
Euskaltel is now totally control this race,
Larsson jumps off the front of the peloton for one last move.
But it's to late, Mikel Nieve wins with a nicely timed attack.
And starts the clock ...
Euskaltel take the next two spots as well with Amets Txurruka
and Gorka Verdugo. Marek Rutkiewicz 4th.
Massimo Codol then José Alberto Benítez.
Finally 2 minutes later Gustav Erik Larsson crosses the line in 7th.
Then it's the rest of the peloton, including Kessiakoff and Licina.
The rookie is really riding great here in Spain.

Interview - Jimmy Licina
Q: What a pleasant surprise you have provided this last few stages.
A: Yeah, at first I just wanted the KoM, but now a top 20 in GC looks quite possible.

10kms against the clock will Larsson a chance to jump up
the rankings before a finally flat stage tomorrow.
Taylor Phinney lost a huge chunck of time on the hills yesturday,
but comes back strong today coming in 2nd behind Jesús Del Nero
by just 2 seconds, however it's still early.
Another favourite for the stage win is Dominique Cornu,
but he slots into 3rd just a second behind Phinney.
Fredrik Kessiakoff has a nice ride and finishes
with the same time as Phinney.
An overview camera gets Víctor De la Parte setting the
new time to beat at 14'37''.
Youngster Jimmy Licina has his own battle on his hands
for the youth competition with Alberto Morrás.
Morrás isn't a good time trialer, and lose 18 seconds to Licina today. However keeps the overall lead by 29 seconds.
These guys have nothing on Larsson today. He beats Víctor De la Parte
by an outstanding margin of 39 seconds! The World Champion is back!
4th overall Marek Rutkiewicz has a bad day
and will lose his spot to Larsson.
Amets Txurruka, 3rd overall doesn't have the speed either
and Larsson moves up another spot.
Gorka Verdugo is the first GC man to "challenge" Larsson. He stops the clock at 14'27'', good enough for 2nd behind Larsson. But not good enough to keep his 2nd place overall, Larsson just has one man left to go!
Mikel Nieve is an aweful time trialer, however even coming in 55 seconds slower than Larsson time keeps his yellow jersey after the time he picked up yesturday on the hills. But Larsson wins the stage easily, and jumps up to 2nd overall with a flat stage remaining.
