laiseka wins, mucho mucho abandons

Love that Euskaltel jersey, Roberto Laiseka won the stage along with Thor and the Basque Batallion. Only fitting that Jeff's Thor and the Boys would win on the day that Thor abandoned the Vuelta, bummer. Taylor has put her stamp of authority on the race gc-wise. If Menchov prevails, i think Taylor has it in the bag, don't count Heras and Carrie out though.

Lots of abandons from yesterday...
A Spain in My Ass lost Nozal
Carrie lost Aitor Osa
Taylor lost Fedrigo
Pablo Neruda lost Angel Casero
Taylor lost Max Van Heiswick
Fruita Freewheelers lost Ivanov
Las Mariquititas lost Flecha
Thor lost Garrido


If this keeps up, we may have some low scores.
Check out Menchov in this photo, he looks like he's auditioning for Ernest goes to Spain.
