Ivan Basso turned in an indifferent ride, costing him a podium place. | ||
Philip Deignan did well enough to stay in 9th place. | ||
Stijn Devolder was 17th in the time trial. Devolder is furious that he was left off the Belgian world's team, but I don't think he's got the form right now and the Spanish and Italians will be formidible. | ||
Cadel Evans spun his 55-tooth pie plate fast enough to bump Basso from the podium. | ||
Until he crashed, Robert Gesink was in the GC hunt. He was able to preserve his consolation prize sixth place. | ||
Samuel Sanchez was second in the stage and remained second in GC. | ||
David Millar gets his first victory since 2007 and Garmin gets its third stage win this Vuelta. | ||
It's a wrap. Valverde, barring misfortune, is the 2009 Vuelta champion. | ||
