The Rundown - Competition

10 Laurens Ten Dam - Rabobank

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/LaurensTenDam.jpg

You know you have a shallow field if Laurens Ten Dam is listed as a favourite in a Grand Tour. Ten Dam is best know for his supporting role under Robert Gesink, but for 21 stages his gets the lead role for Rabobank.

9 Juan Jose Cobo - Team Geox-TMC

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/JuanJoseCobo.jpg

There is no doubt that Cobo can climb, the question is can he climb on the stages that matter. If he finds himself up with the favourites watch out from Cobo to be a dark horse. But Geox also might have other plans on who there leader is going to be as well.

8 Igor Anton - Euskaltel

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/IgorAnton.jpg

Spainard racing in the Vuelta, always gives an extra boost of confidence. But then again I don't think Anton needs more motivation, after winning two stages in last year's edition and coming in 5th at the Giro. However, Euskaltel like Geox bring two captains, so Anton's chances might be limited.

7 Frank Schleck - Leopard-Trek

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/FrankSchleck.jpg

Wait a second, Frank Schleck ... If things crash in burn for little brother Andy, Frank might be stuck picking up the pieces of history. After helping Andy winning the Tour, and finishing 17th himself; Frank surely would love to win the Vuelta if Andy's fatigue gets the best of him.

6 Carlos Sastre - Team Geox-TMC

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/CarlosSastre.jpg

Geox co-leader next to Cobo brings more experience than anything else. At 36 years old, Carlos has been on the podium 3 times in his home tour but has yet to stand on the top step. Perhaps his 25th Grand Tour start will provide the magic for his first Vuelta title waiting to be placed on the mantle next to his 2008 Tour de France trophy.

5 Daniel Martin - Garmin

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/DanielMartin.jpg

From ageing veteran to rising superstar in Daniel Martin. At 25 years old Martin is right on the turning point of becoming a top climber in the sport. Many on Garmin staff believe Martin takes that next step into stardom here in Spain.

4 Damiano Cunego - Lampre-Isd

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/DamianoCunego.jpg

Cunego is back for revenge after an aweful Giro. While teammate Michele Scarponi stole the show in finished runnerup to Andy, Cunego was forced to protect and make attacks for Scarponi. At the end of the day Cunego finished 20th and was unhappy by his role. So Lampre told him to pack his bags and head to Spain where he would get full leadership role, as Lampre wanted to keep their superstar.

3 Joaquim Rodriguez - Katusha

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/JoaquimRodriguez.jpg


Rodriguez comes in finishing 11th at the Tour, which doesn't do him justice as Joaquim often found himself in tough spots where he had to make bold attacks. And none of them paid off, so watch out this time around as he gets a fresh start.

2 Samuel Sanchez G. - Euskaltel

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/SamuelSanchez.jpg

Samuel Sanchez finds himself in the same boat as Rodriguez. A slow start cost him the tour where he eventually finished in 12th. But this time around in his home tour things could be different, at least that's what he thinks.

1 Alberto Contador - Saxo Bank

i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac189/Mresuperstar/The%20Quest%20For%20History/Rider%20Pictures/Competition/AlbertoContador.jpg

And lastly the man of the hour, Conta. Alberto may have missed out of the Tour with a broken wrist, but that won't stop him from going head to head with Andy this time around. On home soil, fully rested, and out for blood, if Andy Schleck can beat Contador he will surely deserve his name in the record books as one of the best riders of all time.

Race Review


The start of the Vuelta is in Benidorm, the third time it has kicked off the Spainish Grand Tour. The last time being in 1987 which also was a time trial. The team concept of cycling will be tested here on the first stage with a tricky 13.5 kilometer circuit.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/1-Sky.jpg

Team Sky is the first out of the gate and set the time to beat at 20'46.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/2-Garmin.jpg

Garmin follows next, but come 7 seconds short of Sky's time.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/3-Euskaltel.jpg

Euskaltel with co-leaders Anton and Sanchez,
come in with the same time as Garmin.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/4-Geox.jpg

Before Geox is able to leave, we get a time best time by HTC at 20'37.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/5-Lampre.jpg

Geox comes in 2 seconds faster than Garmin, and Lampre has to hit the panic button early as the come in dead last 39 seconds behind HTC.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/6-Katusha.jpg

Katusha with Rodriguez have to settle for middle of the pack,
22 seconds behind still current leaders HTC.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/7-Leopard1.jpg

Finally it's Leopards turn to go, but early on at the check point things don't look good ... Cancellara needs to pull this team to the finish line fast.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/8-Leopard2.jpg

Fabian does all he can but the best we could do was tie with Lampre ... dead last 39 seconds back. Could it get any worse, yes ... Andy fell off the back right at the end and picked up 5 more seconds Sad .

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%201/9-SaxoBank.jpg

The last to leave already had the news on what they had to beat. Team Saxo "Contador" Bank didn't waste anytime putting time up against Andy. They finish 3rd just 6 seconds off today's winners HTC-Highroad. Kanstantsin Siutsou gets the honor of wearing red for tomorrow.

Race Review

The stage is set, Contador Vs. Schleck Round 1.
Early Knockout or 12 Round Fight?

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/1.jpg

Linus Gerdemann gets things start today with a quick attack, others struggle to follow getting blocked in on the narrow roads.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/2.jpg

Gerdemann picks up the points on top of the first climb today.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/3.jpg

A three man chase group has formed behind.
The peloton is 5 minutes back.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/4.jpg

Saxo Bank leads the chase for their superstar Conta,
Leopard gets to take the day off.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/5.jpg

Fast forward now ... the final climb. The breakaway is pretty much caught.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/6.jpg

Contador doesn't waste anytime to attack. The fireworks have started.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/7.jpg

Frank Schleck jumps on the back wheel, Andy is fighting to catch up.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/8.jpg

10kms to go now, Andy still hasn't closed the gap.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/9.jpg

But as Andy catches his brother and Alberto, they slow right up allowing everyone else to catch back up. Leaving the door wide open for old timer Carlos Sastre.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/10.jpg

But his attacks is short lived,
and is soon in the shadow of a powerful move by Sanchez.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/11.jpg

Sanchez can't believe how much Contador was left in his legs as he blows past him, neither can Andy.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/12.jpg

Frank (in 3rd) is trying to close the gap, while Andy is trying to brush back from the punch to the face from Conta's attack.

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/13.jpg

1km to go ...

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/14.jpg

Alberto Contador takes Round 1 (easily).

i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc374/mresuperstar4/Vuelta%20a%20Espana/Stage%204/15.jpg

Andy now needs 2'36". Knockout?

Great riding by the Schleck brothers, Contador must be feeling a bit nervous nowSmile

Wtf @ stage two. OmegaPharma 1-2-3-4-5 Shock

And not the best start for Andy, but it's hard to do well after riding two GT's already. Not over yet.

No knock out yet, but he's in the corner looking at his changes, can he do something more against Contador later this Vuelta....
