unlucky stage 13

Not a great day for Team Disco fans, as Tricky Beltran, Jose Azevado and Benoit Joachim all called it a race. There was confusion at the finish, when Mauricio Ardila finished his sprint at a KOM sprint 200m before the finish line. Samuel Sanchez won the stage with team El Rippo also taking the day. The GC battle has gotten closer but Taylor's Team Rookie is still in the lead. Tomorrow's stage is meant to shake up the vuelta contenders and may be a great springboard for Heras, if he can overcome his injury. We'll see.

Abandons continue at a whopping pace:
Fruita Freewheelers lost Glomser
Herradura Cura lost Piil
