Today’s sharply undulating circuit proved to be the ideal proving ground for Lucas Euser (pictured right). He joined the day’s break early in the race and at one point was the virtual leader on the road with more than six minutes on the peloton. However, the Euser group was caught with 10 km to […]

Two-man breakaways on days that look good for sprinters are about as successful as making it off the Titanic with a life jacket. It sounds good, but let’s be serious.

Hoping to build on his 11 mountain points, Timmy Duggan joined an early break […]

Stage 3 of the 2008 Volta a Valencia might be the penultimate stage with one category 3 climb and three category 2 climbs–Port de Tudons (990m), Port de Torremanzana (880m), and Port de Carrasqueta (1200m). The final Carrasqueta climbs starts about 25K from the finish of the 166.5K stage.
