Caja Rural. Makes sense of course, they have the leader's jersey.

Meh, tomorrow's course (if raced properly) should prove too hard for Downing.

Maybe the stage wasn't that hard after all. Manuel Cardoso only got dropped now....

"A 54 kms de meta. A 1 km de coronar el Puerto de Arrebatacapas (2ª), el líder
Cardoso (Caja Rural) pierde contacto con el grupo principal."

It's Oliveira time:

"A 56 kms de meta:

Carrasco (Andalucía), Feillu (Saur Sojasun), Pedraza (EPM) y Bizkarra (Orbea)

a 30" Arroyo (Movistar), Landa y Txurruka (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Oliveira (RadioShack), Toribio (Andalucía), De la Cruz (Caja Rural), Levarlet (Saur Sojasun) y Wren (Jamis Sutter)"

27 kms de meta:

Castroviejo y Moreno (Movistar), Urtasun y Velasco (Euskaltel), Slagter (Rabobank), Machado (RadioShack), Toribio (Andalucía), De la Cruz (Caja Rural), Levarlet (Saur Sojasun), Blanco (Efapel), Dempster (Endura) y Maté (Cofidis)

LL is going like a freight train, bridged up to the front group by himself.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No, he just made the jump from the peloton to the Slagter group.

 

[jens_attacks]

No, he just made the jump from the peloton to the Slagter group.

Luisle should win this, although he'll have to watch out for Moreno and Machado.

 

[theyoungest]

He thought "help! I'm getting a result!" and hit the brakes.
