The incredible thing is that Caruso is a great sprinter. It isn't the first time that he goes in the top-10 of a stage (and not only of the Vuelta) |

Looks like Aru has lost some time today. He wasn't in the front group.

He had a flat tire but in the live images it seemed that he recovered all the time lost.
Edit: confirmed, he was 29th with s.t.

ProCyclingStats just updated the results and he is up there anyway.  So you're right.

Stuyven could not come by Cancellara, bad sprint by him and terrible lead out by Cancellara. |

That's not even worth the effort of searching for a facepalm picture URL, so just imagine this post contains one.

Terrible lead out? Stuyven couldn't have asked for a better lead out, he just wasn't strong enough to pass Spartacus.

Oh hello, Koldo Fernandez appears to have remembered how to sprint and gotten in the top 10...
His first top10 place since Vuelta 2012 IIRC. |

I doubt it even was a lead out, two changes are better than one, right? Strategically I think its a smart tactic to employ when you aren't among the bests in the sprints. |

Robert Gesink leaves Vuelta  because of personal circumstances. His pregnant wife has undergone surgery twice last week and her situation hasn't improved.

Sucks, but I think we could see he was back to his normal self finally. Will give him confidence next year and family is way more important.
And hope his wife pulls through!

Hope everything goes well.

FFS poor Gesink, he never has any kind of luck... Best decision for him, family is more important than racing. Still so so sad for him... He was doing so well! |

Over an hour is race, yet all breaks have been catched so far. The last climb is actually 7 km and 7% so it could certainly cause some havoc if the top dogs want it to, especially if the stage win is on stake. |

Why would you ever sprint like that a few kms before the last climb. Lol. |
