More Vuelta... Etapa Once

Too late to carry on, so another short jont for the night... Wiggins made a nice move, I can't take that away from him. However, the British commentator needs to step down and let Kelly have the mic! We went from, "NOT WIGGINS, surely not Wiggins!" To, "WIGGINS is making a move, he sees that they are suffering, and he's making his break!" Oh the drama! That's why they get paid! To fire up home growns, and tick off the rest of the world. (Said with a smile) I love all of the announcers, but Kelly being a former racer, and with the smooth Irish accent, and heavy "R's" is the man! To conclude:

Strong showing from Trek as a company, the boys and girls (engineers, riders, and company in general) from Waterloo, still own 40% of the Top Ten, in the GC, in it Fuglsang slipped from second to fifth. Catch y'all later today since it's already Thursday!
