Ian: In deed he is. He looks like he could be dangerous in the last half of the race...
Jakstar: Will do
sutty:  Perhaps Antón is a bit of of his league...
Miguel: Thanks. I have salvaged everything needed to continue the story and have some reports in stock, so it won't stop but might slow down a bit once I run out of reports.

Rider of the month:  Fabian Cancellara, RadioShack – Nissan. For dominating Eneco Tour
Nordic rider of the month:  Chris Anker Sørensen, Volvo – STARK. 6th in San Sebastián and impressive riding this far in the Vuelta.
Volvo – STARK Year 2015
Instead of the classic interview we have been so lucky to be able to reveal the final details of the biggest Nordic team next season.
First of all a number of future riders on the team remain secret – but not anymore!
We already know that Boassong Hagen, Kristoff, Laengen and Kessiakoff will be joining and Tobias Tonning has already raced his first races for the team. Apart from those riders three Danish riders have been signed:
A Classics Captain
Spoiler The last couple of years Matti Breschel has been the last helper for first Boonen and this year Boom on Rabobank. Still he has managed to ride top 10 in the last seven cobbled classics on the World Tour with a 3rg in Gent – Wevelgem 2013 and a 4th in Paris- Roubaix this year as the highlights.
With Hushovd not getting any younger and McDermott still not quite good enough to win these races Breschel will be an important asset for the team and perhaps the rider Volvo – STARK need to win a few more one-day races?
One for the flats
Spoiler Alex Rasmussen is more or less completely worthless when the road starts going uphill. He is very strong on the flat though – especially if alone, but also has a decent sprint on the weaker pelotons. This year he has shown great form by becoming Danish TT-champion and winning the last TT in the Giro d’Italia. Nd placing 6th on the Vuelta-prologue.
Alex will mainly ride as support for the teams sprinters, but of course with a special focus on the races with a lot of TT’ing. Depending on the 2015-route the World TT-championships might get special attention.
The Future Star
Spoiler Since Rasmus Quaade became Danish TT-champion and won silver in the U23 TT-WC in 2011 he has put in several decent results and grown a lot while riding for Blue Water Cycling, but now it is time for him to step it up bit and find the WT-level.
Rasmus will naturally focus on the races with lots of TT-kms. He still has quite a lot to learn in the roadraces, so we shouldn’t expect too much of him the first year. Most likely he will become a key tem-member in races with a Team Time Trial until he has built enough physique to target his own races.
Who is that big new Sponsor?
Quite a lot will change on the sponsor-side next year. Volvo stays on as name-sponsor and Falcon continues their engagement as minor sponsor, and will next year among other things be supplying water bottles for the team.
The clothes will next year be supplied by the relatively young Danish company Astral. A company known for producing quality clothes for all kinds of weather.
Specialized will be replaced by Merida, who wants to increase their market share in the whole of Scandinavia after having established themselves in Norway over the last few years.
And now for the main sponsor, bringing in the money that has allowed the team to sign all these high profile riders:
| 1 |  Alberto Contador | Team Saxo – Tinkoff | 675 | | 2 | Fabian Cancellara | RadioShack – Nissan | 502 | | 3 | Igor Antón | Euskaltel – Euskadi | 442 | | 10 |  Thor Hushovd | Volvo – STARK | 246 | | 20 | Lars Ytting Bak | Volvo – STARK | 161 | | 85 |  Thomas Löfkvist | Volvo – STARK | 48 | | 143 |  Jussi Veikkanen | Volvo – STARK | 12 |
| 1 |  RadioShack – Nissan | 1481 | | 2 |  Rabobank Cycling Team | 850 | | 3 | Euskaltel – Euskadi | 810 | | 4 | Volvo – STARK | 747 | | 5 | Team Saxo – Tinkoff | 735 | | 29 | Joker Merida | 41 |
Relegation Spots: Gazprom and Garmin – Sharp.
| 1 |  Roger Kluge | Argos – Shimano | 555 | | 2 |  Marko Kump | Adria Mobil | 528 | | 3 |  Rory Sutherland | Christina Watches – Onfone | 387 | | 68 | Niki Østergaard | Glud & Marstrand – LRØ | 153 | | 92 | Frederik Wilmann | Christina Watches – Onfone | 115 | | 171 | Sebastian Balck | Concordia Forsikring – Himmerland | 59 |
| 1 |  Cofidis, le credit en ligne | 1656 | | 2 |  Landbouwkredit – Euphony | 1547 | | 3 | Team Argos – Shimano | 1482 | | 6 | Christina Watches – Onfone | 1257 | | 23 | Team Øster Hus – Ridley | 554 | | 24 | Team Concordia Forsikring – Himmerland | 524 | | 27 | Joker Merida | 481 | | 32 | Glud & Marstrand – LRØ | 362 | | 46 | Ikea Cykling | 215 | | 50 | Blue Water Cycling | 156 | | 62 | Jardar Sykling | 49 |
Promotion spots: Cofidis and FDJ - BigMat
German TT-champion and former TT-World Champion Tony Martin have signed a new contract. He will be leaving Omega Pharma – Quickstep, but have decided to stay in Belgium on a team where he will be captain in pretty much every race he starts. Namely:
Spoiler
who have had a surprisingly good season placing them as one of the best CT-teams
If you thought Sylvain Chavanel was going to retire after this season you were very wrong. The 35-year old Frenchman has signed a new contract with
Fränk Schleck will be taking quite a step down from RadioShack – Nissan to
As if it weren’t surprising enough that Igor Antón will be leaving Euskaltel it has now been made public that he next year will join
The talented young American Tejay Van Garderen have had a less than impressive season. That cost him the spot at BMC and forced him to ride at much lower level with

Vuelta a España
Stage 14: Gijon – Angliru
Another very decisive stage with a massive mountain in the end. Tomorrow is a big day for Nicki, so he needs to take it as easy as possible today, while we will try to make sure Palomares doesn’t get in the break.
Things go just as planned from the start as 11 riders get away early on. None of them major threats for Nicki’s jersey.
With 100 km to go the break has 6 minutes on the peloton, and virtually no chance of lasting to the finish.
Purito really wants to win the race and attacks early with 40 km to go. That should come back and bite him later on…
He is reeled back in 3 km from the top of the second-last hill, but immediately attacks again.
At the top of that hill Rodríguez has about a minute to a seven-rider group holding Chris, Antón and Vanendert.
With 9 km to the top Rodríguez has built a lead of two minutes. That doesn’t suit Chris so he decides to put on the pressure behind.
He gets a small gap, but Igor comes backand passes Chris with 6,5 km to the finish line.
Purito holds on to take a splendid solo win.
Chris never manages to catch up with Antón again, but that was never a goal anyway. He does manage to gain quite a lot of time on Vanendert so all-in-all a failr successful stage!
Today the time limit was very hard on 24 riders. Noteworthy riders are Alex Rasmussen, Tossato, Quinzato and Leukemans.

Stage 15: Leon – Puerto de Parajes-Branillin
The first mountains have quite a few points on the top, so today is a day we have marked for Nicki.
The stage starts out in a frantic pace, but in the end Nicki manage to tear away along with 10 riders, who are happy to let him take the first 6 points.
At the foot of San Lorenzo the break has 7 minutes to the peloton. This is the climb that Nicki went out for as it has 30 points on the top!
De Segovia doesn’t want to leave the front of the group but Nicki tears away on the final bit of the climb and can put 30 pts on his account.
With 5 km to the top of la Cobertoira the break has four minutes to the favourites group wre Euskaltel have started to up the tempo. Hopefully Nicki will be able to make it last long enough to take another 16 pts.
And he does so by attacking 2 km from the top just to make sure.
After that climb I told Nicki to just fall back and take it easy for the rest of the stage after a job well done.
With 12 km to go his former breakaway companions Plaza, Charteau and De Segovia still hold on to a 1’15’’ gap. That's not a lot with a mountain ahead though!
Vanendert and Rodríguez attacks with 9 km to the top of the final climb.
Antón immediately goes to the front of the group so I tell Chris to just stay next to him for the time being.
And with 6 km to the top they are reeled back in.
Txurruka and Roche starts the next wave of attacks with 4 km to go, but Antón, Purito and Chris are right there with them.
As usual Antón is just too strong for the rest and Purito is too fast for Chris in the sprint.
Also note that Willy fought his way in to 12th on the stage fopr the first time gaining ground on Landa!

Love how you say he gain's ground on Landa, but he's still 8 minute's behind. Sörensen still in the podium.  |

And I have even (slightly) corrected the worst of them!
Spoiler The game sent Van Garderen to Nippo and that was just unacceptable

Weird transfers 
I think it's sure now that Chris will end on the podium in Madrid

SSJ2Luigi: Especially Antón to Caofidis is very interesting
Miguel: With these signings my shortlist have pretty much turned empty. This is the last batch of high-profile riders ever to sign for the team!
And for Landa I guess I'm just hoping he is completely worn down by having to work a lot for Antón and then he will end up losing even more in the last week
Jesleyh: Have I been playing the series too long when I'm startting to actually enjoy these tranmsfers?
krisa: Thanks and agree (assuming you meen mine)
PCM rulezz: Don't say that. There's still two TT's and several mountain stages ahead...
