I will never understand how you can celebrate Christmas in a place like Miami
I think you might need a bit of a miracle to win the Vuelta, remember that Contador will mostl likely only get stronger later on. |

I will be leaving on vacation the 16th, so I think I can get 4 or 5 more reports before then. Which leaves 4-5 more reports when I return on Christmas (25th). Really wish the timing was better but there is nothing I can do now.
Another change of plans I just found out I will be get all my gifts from my family tomorrow since we won't be home for Christmas. So I going to have to postpone the all reports until I get back because I want next week to play with my new gadgets, sorry

Vuelta a Espana Stage 11
The climb to Contador has to start today
if Andy still dreams of winning the Vuelta.
2 men are brave enough to start the morning breakaway.
They are soon greeted by 12 more looking for at best a stage win.
Some bad luck for Rodriquez early on with a flat.
And the same for Igor Anton, weird,
But don't worry they easily join back up with the peloton.
70kms to go and a split occurs at the front of the peloton.
Frank Schleck and Sanchez are caught out.
At first it looked like they would have no problem closing the gap,
but now 25kms later at the sprint point in
Freixido de Abaxio the gap is still a minute.
Now the leaders have picked up the breakaway,
will this slow them down enough for everyone to come back together?
Frank decides he is going to take things into his own hands as the riders pass over the climb of Alto de Ermida, 40+ kms away from the finish.
And finally 5kms later Frank brings everyone back ...
Just in time for some fireworks on Manzaneda.
Breakaway man Jeff Louder takes the honor of making the first attack.
But that's all he gets, he is pulled back 500 meters later.
It's Andy Schleck that starts the show, 24kms out. Too Soon?
Rodriguez thinks about it and decides he has to go as well.
20kms to go, Rodriquez waves the white flag. Andy is a minute up the road.
Contador is now out of teammates and is pushing the tempo himself.
Sanchez also helps with the pacemaking as well,
Frank gets to hang on for the ride.
10kms to go now and Contador ignites.
Frank is blocked in by Sanchez and can't counter ...
But shortly after Rodriguez kicks again,
which acts as a springboard for Frank and Samuel Sanchez.
Andy can't look back now, Conta and Sanchez are closing the gap.
With the finish in sight, Contador kicks one last time.
Frank is trying to hang on. Sanchez can't.
It's going to be close ...
Andy Schleck holds on! And pulls back 29 seconds.
Don't give Contador the Vuelta Crown Just Yet.

It's going to be hard, but Andy seems to be recovering the time lost. |

Andy is really fighting for it, stage by stage, putting Contador under pressure and getting time back. And Frank is also performing really well!
Btw, amazing screen the second to last one. The three riders looking at each other, the writing 'Schleck' on the ground, the sun light effect.. congrats on that pic.

Funny thing is I didn't realize the writing on the road until I was cropping the pictures. Easily my best picture to date.

Well that was quite a huge effort for "just" 29 seconds... hope it won't backfire, but what choice do you have, right? Anyway, glad the story continues!

Vuelta a Espana Stage 12
The profile suggests little to no time gaps today, but sometimes the route lies.
9 men will test their breakaway odds today.
They get up to 15 minutes at one point, odds are in their favor.
40kms out on a small hill, Leopard-Trek deploys a risky tatic. Monfort and Frank Schleck are now going to test Saxo Bank into chasing.
At the sprint point in Cambados, 30kms out, the breakaway still leads by 10 minutes. One of them is going to win the stage today, no harm to GC with everyone at least 1 hour behied.
However, this man does carry a threat.
But the peloton is letting Frank hold a gap of 2 minutes.
No wonder the gap isn't being closed, Saxo Bank isn't even chasing ...
In fighting has now started in the breakaway.
But no one is able to get away, so we get a bunch sprint for the stage win.
It's Christian Knees that gets to raise his arms in glory today, beating out Sébastien Joly and Wouter Mol.
But his spotlight is quickly placed onto Frank Schleck.
Or perhaps the lazyness of Saxo Bank.
Major time is up for grabs, Andy won't get the option to attack today.
Frank stops the clock + 4'58 behind the breakaway riders,
but the all important time gap is to follow ...
Rodriguez leads Conta and Andy to the line ... 1'31'' later. Frank Schleck slides into 2nd overall. Team leader questions again start to swirl around the Leopard-Trek team bus with 9 stages remaining.

Risky tactic by Frank, but it paid off brilliantly. A minute and a half, that's a lot of time, specially for such a stage (pretty much flat). Surprised by Saxo bank not chasing. A pity there was a break ahead, otherwise it could have been even another stage win for Leopard.
Good luck for the next stages

Indeed a big risk taking by Frank but it paid off very well. The gap is still over 2 minutes but it is still not impossible
