VUELA A ESPANA 2010 NEWS UPDATE.

TUESDAY 14TH.SEPTEMBER 2010.

Sadly Mark Cavendish did not make it three on the row on stage 14 from Burgos to Pena Cabarga as there was crash near the end and the race was disrupted, the winner was J, Rodriguez.
Stage 15 over 188km.from Solares to Lagos de Covadonga was won by Miguel Mosquena when he broke away on the last climb and finished in the mist.

Stage 16 from Gijon to Cotobello was won by a rider from Columbia Mikel Ituraldi and at the same time the Red jersey was taken over by Joaquim Rodriguez( Purito ) who now leads the race overall.Today is a rest day and on Wednesday it is a Time trial around Penafiel over a course of 46km.

My report on the Vuelta is very short and brief as I am translating it from Spanish and the coverage on Spanish TV. The English reports on the BBC have stopped as they are now following the Tour of Britain!
NB; Just for interest on the third stage from Newtown to Swansea the Swiss rider Michael Albasini powered to victory as he climbed up the one in three Constitution Hill in the heavy rain, at the end and he now leads the Tour !
