Samu 7th on stage, 5th overall

The Volta ao Algarve came to a close today with a 17,2 kilometre time trial. As usual no great results from the guys in orange, though Samu did well to grab 7th, 35 seconds back on stage-winner Luis León Sánchez. That result means he ended up a good 5th overall, just 57 seconds down on the invincible Contador. The rest of the guys didn't really show up, except for JJ who did okay to finish 38th on the stage and 20th overall. Full stage results:
