Koldo 10th as the mountains loom

Koldo once again failed to place himself well enough for the sprint and had to make do and mend with another 10th place. He'll be disappointed, as there's only one stage left for the sprinters in this race, and that's the last stage into Madrid. Though, he'll be as keen as ever to nick what would be his first ever Vuelta win. That would surely be deserved... As for the other lads, Alán was 15th and Dioni 20th, resulting in Euskaltel grabbing another 2nd place in the team rankings. A breakaway will likely succeed tomorrow, so my bet is on Iñigo for that stage. Watch out for Aitor though as well.
