Vuelta stage 11 & 12

Yesterdays stage 11 featured a beyond cat climb at the finish. It was your usual fight to the climb and then the GC separated themselves and the in-fighting began. Anton, who lost the jersey the day before, looked cashed and was slipping back. The other GC were busy attacking each other when Anton motored by everyone and won the stage and took the jersey back. Impressive climbing.

Today's stage was a sprinter's stage, without too many leg breakers. The peloton brought in the break and then the sprinter's teams went to work. Garnin did a lot of work, as did Cervelo...guess they are already starting to work together. What are they going to do with Thor and Tyler next year?

Matt Goss, what is it with these Ausies and lead-outs? Goss took over the race at 300m to go, with Cavo in tow, and lit the afterburners. Watch the highlights Goss took the sprinters to school, Marc is lucky they are on the same team. Matt stopped pedaling at 10m out and finished 3rd. Cavo and Matt had time to decide who was going to take the win.

Seriously check out the highlight on universalsports.com. Color me impressed.




Oh yeah like it or not Cav is BACK
