Danielson finishes Burgos on final podium
After going 1-2 in the individual time trial, Team Garmin-Slipstream came into the final stage of the Vuelta a Burgos with the slimmest of leads in the overall, with Tom Danielson and Danny Pate sitting only seconds ahead of the field. On the final mountain-top finish the attacks were hard and unrelenting for Pate and Danielson, who fought valiantly. In the end, Danielson finished a strong fifth and secured a podium spot with third place.

excellent race tommy… way to show valverde what a rider who isn’t on the juice can do, although i think you already proved it by racing in the giro where he could not! salud!
Tom D & Co,
Great ride @ Burgos. Looking forward to cheering you & the rest of the Garmin team on at the Vuelta. I also liked the photos of Mt. Evans you posted on your web page. It’s a race I ride every year. This year I was only 23 min slower than Tom.
You guys did one helluva job. A bunch of us went up that same road up to Lagunas de Neila from Quintanar last summer and by the end our quads were screaming (not to mention the crap pavement in the middle part of the climb.) It was nice to see Tom put a little bit of fear into Valverde…and if the rumoured deal with that guy from Pinto doesn’t work out, Xavi Tondo might make an interesting possibility….
Way to go Tommy. Looking forward to seeing you on more podiums
