Today there was a break. Then a bunch sprint. The race was won by the favourite Tyler Farrar, Sagan took 2nd and Galdos 3rd. Farrar leads overall.





The second stage introduced the hills. It was Vicente Bernabeu from the Andalucia team who took the win. 2nd went to Chris Horner who was 22 seconds behind the winner. Sagan sprinted to 3rd coming in 1.18 behind the winner. On the GC Bernabeu takes the lead by 30 seconds to Chris Horner.
Sagan is holding 3rd 1.18 behind.





So it was a TT. Nothing interesting happening. So results time.

The last lap was very heated. I attacked on the last climb.



Unfortunately it amounted to nothing and I finished narrowly outside the top 10. It was Pasamonte, the Movistar rider who took the win today.



2nd was Ben Hermans and 3rd Bernabeu.

It felt like the whole world slipped out from underneath me. It was like when Travis Newton found out he was going to have a kid with Chloe. Like when Humpty Dumpty fell of the wall. Everything froze. It felt like a whole hour till I hit the ground, it was actually a matter of seconds. These things happen so fast you don't realise what has happened especially as a cyclist.

The car came out of nowhere. A closed circuit race and a car comes from side on. It was crazy. I don't know how many went down and how many got injured. I really don't want to. My very good friend Lachlan Norris went down as well as Thomas Palmer.

Norris, Palmer and myself were flown out of Spain together heading to England for further treatment. I was concious but could not walk, Palmer was able to get up and walk around a little and was able to sit up with the pilots in the helicopter. Lachlan was worse, he was still out of it. Once I woke the doctor went through all my injuries.



He then went through Lachlan's list. If you though mine was bad you were wrong.



What the doctor said next really really shocked me.

When we finally got to the hospital Tom was really trying to make me feel better. Since he heard about Lachlan he was there for me. When we arrived at Colchester General Hospital I was now in a wheel chair. Tom was pushing me around and all we could do about Lachlan was wait.



I was sharing a room with Lachlan. Tom wouldn't leave us till Lachlan woke up which I really appreciated. Tom was expected at a race very soon but he just wouldn't go. The doctor told me my comeback would be 2 weeks before the Vuelta. That's not ideal but has to happen. Lachlan is looking better but it is still unknown as to whether he will wake up...
