A vacation stage finished with a bunch sprint, somewhat marred by a crash within the last 3km (tho' no one looks to be too badly beat up). Results:
- André Greipel, HTC-Columbia
- William Bonnet, BBox, st.
- Daniele Bennati, Liquigas, st.
- Gerald Ciolek, Milram, st.
- Fracisco Jose Pacheco Torres, Contentpolis-Ampo, st.
GC remains unchanged:
- Valverde
- Gesink, at 31"
- Sanchez, at 1.10
- Ivan Basso, LIQ, at 1.28
- Evans, at 1.51
- Mosquera, at 1.54
Screencap of the day, courtesy Helsy33:
Yep, that was pretty much it.

Am the only one who hates the official Vuelta song
Venga Caisse d'Epargne!

You know, I bet we could
put together a GT-theme song contest of the same painful quality Eurovision delivers . . .

Matt Keenan deserves a podium finish today for his solo:)

Well at least Benna was 3rd...apart from that, total bah.

Valverde no longer has the jersey puntos
That’s a good thing in my book.

I'm sure he does not care
Some people are born to be spectators, some people are born to make a spectacle and some are born to be mere fans.

No, but Griepel probably cares
As a general rule, I’d rather the jersey go to someone who actually wants it.
Obviously, Valverde has no reason to be worried about the points competition.

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a Valverde girl...sorry!

No need to apologize ;-)

I could be wrong, but Vuelta site has Evans and Mosquera the other way round.

Zeke's 20-second penalty is missing
And Cadel’s 10-second penalty too
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.

That's helpful on the official site ;)

(But really, thanks. Updated.)
