Stage 5 La Vuelta

Difficult day for some ahead, no wonder Cav hopped off yesterday if he wasn't feeling great because between the heat and the rolling hills its going to make a few jump off i think

http://skysports.html.infostradasports.com/asp/lib/event/tour/index.asp?...

An attack has just started as i write, with 48km gone, 25 riders are off in a break with 42 seconds, cant see that being allowed to stay out long

Winner today to come from Rabobank...........i hope  19

The possibilites are endless this race, so sticking doggedly to the plan of defeat.

Anton is a poss, as is Luis Leon, Cataldo, Sagan.
But I expect old Sylvian to be close. Congrats to him after all the riding he has done this season.
Made for Thor but for Garmins treatment.

Slagter, M. Albasini left in the break with 33seconds

If a decent break is formed, i think they will be left to get away and win because Quickstep are not going to do all the work through the hills today and no-one else will be taking it up for them, so if you want your time in the limelight get in the break today and get the red jersey

Don't know the full composition of the break yet but I've got Machado in there anyway... could be a good finish for him if it stays out there! Goooooooo-onnnnnnn!!! But not to the detriment of my other 8 riders of course!  4
