blue train rolls again

So blah blah blah Petacchi again blah blah blah Pablo Neruda's Nudists blah blah blah. He got his fourth victory of this year's vuelta on a stage animated by Luis Pasamontes who was off until 15km to go. Reading the play by play made it sound like he got pulled back nearly exclusively by Rolf Aldag who was a MACHINE. Team Rookie held on to her lead, but didn't add much to it. The big mover was Vuelta Skelta

Another day means another bundle of abandons:
OLE! lost Botero
Carrie lost Luis Perez
Thor and the Basque Boys lost Thor!
Herradura Cura lost Markel Irizar
Pan Blanco lost Guesdon
A Spain in My Ass lost Bradley McGee
