Nice presentation for the Angliru 
Fingers crossed for a good stage by Lovkvist but I bet on Menchov to win this one!

Good second place with Lovkvist! 
I think Contador will do it on the Angliru! |

Angliru in a few minutes. A lot of pictures and a great battle and maybe that Contador won, or Lovkvist or someone else |

Vuelta a Espana Stage 13
The breakaway.
Karpets crashes on the last downhill of the day
Popovych is the first rider that attacks Angliru this year
Problems from the begining for Lovkvist. He didn't start Angliru in the front group
But Devine helps him and he is back
Fothen attacks
Zubeldi, Popovych and Kloden are chasing him down
A move by Levi...
Ricco, Valverde and Garate trying their luck too
The big favourites go to the front of the race togheter.
Lovkvist doesn't look to be able to attack today
And Valverde, Contador and Evans soon caught Fothen
Leipheimer is now there too. 5 riders in front
Ricco and Garate are the second group
And the pack with Mosquera setting the pace
Lovkvist is looking better. He is in a way better position
They lost Evans. Contador is trying to get him back
Now a gap is made between Contador-Valverde and Fothen-Leipheimer
Evans is in front, looking good
Fothen cracks. Ricco is now with Leipheimer!
Evans wins on Angliru and probably the Tour of Spain
Contador is second. So no surprises today
A very nice performance by Lovkvist, 17th on Angliru and 11th in the overall rankings having the same time as Astarloza, the rider that is on the 10th place

Tour de Pologne Stage 1
A lot of escapes we had today but still no chance to win for them
Our train is there but it looks like Quick Step are faster
Boom almost got us in front, but Boonen seems to be a better man to follow today
He takes the lead and he looks confident
Probably a podium today for Mark but nothing more
Cause the winer is Boonen
Stage
1. Tom Boonen Quick·Step 3h53'01
2. José JoaquÃn Rojas Caisse d'Epargne s.t.
3. Mark Cavendish Team Columbia s.t.
4. Paolo Bettini Quick·Step s.t.
5. William Bonnet Crédit Agricole s.t.
6. Marcel Sieberg Team Columbia s.t.

Vuelta a Espana Stage 14
Pinotti is in the breakaway. He seems to want the KOM jersey
The escapes start the last climb in front
An early attack by Valverde
Garate and Leipheimer made their moves a little bit later
Lovkvist, Menchov and many others go with them
Valverde caught Pinotti and he left him behind
An chasing group is made by Menchov, Leipheimer, Evans, Pellizzoti and Garate
And they almost caught Valverde
But he still gets the win
Lovkvist finishes 13th the stage, and maintain his 11th place in the GC

Yay, a stage win for Boonen in Tour de Pologne
And wtf, Evans winning multiple stages and leading the GC with more than 3 minutes? This is really unrealistic. Damn Cyanide! |

Only one man in the breakaway

Hincapie prepares the big move

But soon we are alone

And yes, Hincapie wins

Vuelta a Espana Stage 15
Devine is in the breakaway
And only De La Fuente and Zambrano, from Extremadura could keep it up with him. Still no chance for any of them to win today.
After some attacks...
Lovkvist was first in the last climbing point of the day
He was also first on the downhill
But the others are closer and closer
He is still leading in the last kilometre...
Again very close, but not victory for Lovkvist. Astarloza is the winer
