Saxo Bank pushed in the base of Lagos, Nairo attacked with Verdugo, then Contador sent Jesùs Hernàndez ahead for a future attack and Nairo went with him.. Later Gesink.. But the attacks didnt take distance, so a group of 6 guys with Antòn, Verdugo, Anacona, Gesink or Quintana 5" ahead the peloton in La Huesera. Valverde is the first who tried at 6 kms to go, Contador and Purito went with him, catched the group and only Quintana could stay with them. Nairo worked for Valverde and then began the moves of Bertie, 6 or 7 , but he didnt make differences, Valverde dropped and Quintana did a good job helping him to stay with Alberto and Purito... Then Quintana take 20 metres, Contador attack one more time catching him so finally the four arrived together the last kilometer. The colombian did the approximation for Valverde, who was the fastest of the "fantàsticos". I think an 8 Sorry for my english
