@krisa-There is no TT. Already been.
@IanButler-There are 4 hill stages I think which is where Ryder aims to get his time back. Plus 1 more flat stage I think.
@Everyone-Thanks all for Following. Including the ones the aren't posting.

Vuelta a Espana
Stage 16
Today is a hill stage. I have a good chance to get time back today.
The Race
The world champion was the first to attack today.
Zebriskie led out Hushovd in the breakaway and they got 1st and 2nd.
Hushovd won the 2nd sprint point as well.
With 5km to go this is what the front of the race looked like.
When it kicked up Schleck was leading. I am behind with Gilbert.
Schleck took the win ahead of Sastre and Cunego.
I came in 1 minute later with Arroyo, Gilbert and Moreno.
Results
GC Rankings
Today I tried my best. I lost some time but I am confident I can get it back in the next few days.

Vuelta a Espana
Stage 18
Today is a hill stage with a finish that suits me. I really need to get more then a minute back on Schleck.
The Race
Millar and Zebriskie were already on the front 5km into the stage.
Millar tried to get in the break today.
Millar won the first sprint of the day.
Millar also won the mountain sprint. He is looking to take back the jersey.
Millar got 3rd in the next sprint due to getting boxed in.
With 56km to go the break had 9.12 on the peloton. There is still a lot of racing to go so anything can happen.
Millar got 2nd in the seconds last mountain.
I attacked following the favourites
With 20km to go I was with the favourites
With 6km to go me and Schleck were only 1 minute behind the break.
With 1km to go Ruiz was leading.
And he does it. Ruiz takes the win for Andalucia. Mori gets 2nd and Konovalovas 3rd.
I came 11th behind Arroyo but we had a gap to the others.
We gained about 1.30 minutes on Schleck.

Vuelta a Espana
Stage 20
Stage 20 is the last stage that matters in this years Vuelta. With flat at the end I think I may have to settle for seconds but you never know.
The Race
It was again the world champion who was on the attack.
Hushovd up to his usual tricks
We tried something very risky today. Nicolai and me attacked very far out. Lets see if this works.
Then the worst thing happened, I crashed on the down hill! Nicolai came back and helped me. I was 1.57 behind at this point.
I was getting to far back so I bridged up to Martin.
With 86km to go I finally caught back up to the front group, but how much had this chase taken out of me?
I could tell Schleck wasn't happy to see me when I came up beside him.
We were over the final climb and I was still feeling fantastic!
With 10km to go I launched my last bid for gory.
They wouldn't let me go and 5km later I was caught.
With 1km to go Offredo was leading from a break. Can he stay ahead?
NO!! Offredo is caught. Rodriguez takes a great win ahead of Gilbert 2nd and Sanchez takes 3rd.

Well I tried twice today. The first was early. then crashed which didn't exactly help, and then with 10km to go. Schleck won. He was just always there and had the edge when he needed it. Good race Schleck, Good race.

Vuelta a Espana
Stage 21
Well no report for the final stage because we had no sprinters. Hushovd and Wilson both got eliminated in stage 20. So I can tell you that the win went the other Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen. He showed great form in the race and his strong team was too much for the others, 2nd place went to Danielle Bennati of Leopard Trek and Andre Greipal takes 3rd for Omega Pharma - Lotto.
The Canadian Classics
So as you know I could not race my home classics, but I can tell you the results. GP de Quebec it was the Italian Giovanni Visconti who took the win from a late attack. 2nd went to Mikhail Ignatiev who was 12 seconds back and 3rd to Rigoberto Uran who was also 12 seconds back. Our best rider was Johan Vansummeran who got 7th place 31 seconds behind the leader.
GP de Montreal
Well once again today I was unable to race. The winner today was the Belgium Kevin Seeldrayers. He blew away the field winning by 37 to Gasparotto and Weening. Our best rider was Kreder who got 11th place 2.12 behind. Vansummeran got 13th with the same time as Kreder.
Well there you have it. Thats what has happened in the past 2 days. My next race is the Worlds if I get into it. If not then my last race day will be the Japan Cup.
Seeya soon
