Team Garmin-Slipstream’s Timmy Duggan was on the attack today in the second stage of the Vuelta a País Vasco. Duggan attacked in the first 10km of the race, starting the action for the day. Ryder Hesjedal was mixing it up in the field sprint for third place with a top-twenty result. The team’s GC hopes are still high with Dave Zabriskie just 42 seconds off the lead — particularly since the final stage is a 24km individual time trial.
