    Was in the same boat yesterday until I finally caught the highlights. Very interesting day. Was surprised to see how Contador couldn't shake Valverde and Anton. Valverde's form is strange. He prepares for the Tour and get's shelled easily. The Vuelta is second best in terms of objectives and yets he's glued to the top climber amongst the GC contenders.

    Lovely to see Moncoutie winning, given both his principles as a rider and the terrible luck he had last year.

    It looks like Contador is perfectly poised now. He certainly shifted the Euskadi boy quick enough at one point, although he did get back on.
    It's very impressive watching Contador attack the way he does. He just kicks, and he's gone.
