Gerdemann attacks with something like 25km to go
And his adventure ends after 18km.
Is the moment when Ballan attacks
Moves for the sprint in the pack...
Even though Ballan is still in front

And they caught Ballan with only a few metres before the finish
What a finish will be there between Ballan and Zabel
And the win goes to Zabel!

And probably the fact that he was in the slipstream of Zabel from the very begining helpt him |

Nice the last updates there, but also f*cking unlucky! Especially there you should have got 3 minutes on Evans... |

The hardest climb in the World is here in Vuelta a Espana. The stage 13 of the Tour of Spain will end after a climb on Alto de la Angliru. Contador is the big favourite while Evans wears the gold jersey. Will one of those 2 win or there will be a big surprise...
The future is dark for many of the riders. Well for most of them, except for the winer of the stage

He fooled me. We were working togheter to win time. I took the lead with 4 or 5 km to go and when he should make his work he didn't want to go in front, he took Lovkvist's slipstream and win. And Lovkvist didn't had enough power for an attack |
