Team Garmin-Slipstream took a major win Saturday with Tom Danielson and Danny Pate finishing first and second in the individual time trial of the Vuelta a Burgos in Spain. The also win puts both riders into the top two on GC and in position to claim the overall on Sunday final stage, a mountain-top finish to Lagunas de Neila.
“Today was a big test,” said Danielson. “I have been working relentlessly on my condition as well as my head. It is nice to see what happens when both come together. The course was very challenging as it was a power course with a lot of wind. This result shows that I am a complete rider and I am coming into form. I am very happy to say the least.”
“To be leading the race is also another bonus! However, right now I am just going to enjoy today and deal with tomorrow, manana. Thank you to everyone for your support and especially to my teammates for putting me in this position!”
