The French got the Champs Elysses. The Italians got part of the Giro di Lombardia - and the Spaniards get ... 6 laps around the Angliru!
This is SME Cycling's first race of the year and one of their riders, Elias, goes in the break. De la Fuente, Gutierrez Palacios, Grau, Martinez Trinidad, Gonzalez Capilla, Horrach and Lobato are with him
Before the top of the first ascent, de la Fuente has gone solo
On the 2nd ascent, Astarloza went on the attack
Pereiro also made a move towards the top on the same lap
Sevilla, Arroyo and Perez Sanchez then attacked on the 3rd climb
The peleton werent bothered though and the gaps grew
De la Fuente
+ 5'00 - Elias
+ 5'30 - Astarloza
+ 9'00 - Pereiro
+ 11'30 - Sevilla, Horrach
+ 13'00 - Arroyo, Perez Sanchez
+ 25'00 - Peleton
Sevilla pushed on up the climb and caught Pereiro
The climb was too much for de la Fuente, and in the descent he found himself caught by Mikel Astarloza
Astarloza soon left him behind and took a solo lead
Sevilla was chasing him though and around halfway up the fifth ascent, he had caught Astarloza
Around about this time, the riders in the peleton finally woke up. The lead had been up to 30 minutes, but now Gil leads the attacks
Intxausti, Lopez Garcia, Valverde, Mancebo and Gomez Marchante followed him. Valverde and Mancebo were the strongest
While up front, Sevilla is now alone
And the group of lead riders some 20 minutes back is thinning down a lot
Sevilla heads down the descent and with 16km to go - is he on for an unlikely victory?
+ 1'13 is Perez Sanchez
+ 6'32 is Arroyo
+ 8'52 is Astarloza
+ 10'35 is Pereiro
+ 16'07 is de la Fuente
+ 17'53 are Gomez Marchante, Contador, Valverde, Gil, Mancebo, Anton and Plaza
Sevilla might have his hopes dashed by Perez Sanchez, but having come close, the Erste rider seems unable to completely eradicate the gap
The pre-race favourites know that they need to go over a minute faster than Sevilla and Perez Sanchez per kilometre. Theyve left it late but are now turning the screw - however the gap is still 10'45 with 8.7km to go.
Contador then attacks the group, getting a gap - but Valverde then makes a move to go straight past him
Contador rejoins Valverde and they are caught up again - only for Valverde to again go clear, this time with Igor Anton. Anton doesnt last long though, as they catch Arroyo.
Valverde passes Perez Sanchez as Gomez Marchante looks to come across to him, but Sevilla is in sight!
With just 2.3km to go, and Valverde has caught Sevilla
Amazingly, Valverde still has strength left and bursts away once again, just as Gomez Marchante was beginning to look dangerous
He really dominated the final climb and takes the win. He won't be world champion next year, but at least he gets to wear the colours of Spain instead

Ruben Plaza has been the strongest Spanish time trialist all season. So it came as no surprise that he won today
The battle for 2nd was much more interesting - between Benat Intxausti and David Abal. Intxausti held a slight advantage at the first check, Abal had a slight advantage at the 2nd.
They ultimately finished on practically the same time, but Intxausti was a split second quicker and takes 2nd.
