About ten-kilometres into the stage, Juan Antonio Flecha says 'Hola' to his new friend in the Vuelta, Dory Holte...

This doesn't look good - two men have again been allowed to ride away unchallenged: Jose Ruis Ambos and Pedro Horrillo are four minutes up after just 20-kilometres racing...

Horrillo and Rambos are better quality escapers than those of yesterday - they still have a four minute lead when the TV cameras start broadcasting...

The peloton has been chasing for quite some time now, led by Silence-Lotto and Euskatel...

Thomas Vaitkus is Astana's domestique today, but the Lithuanian has more than just water bottles for his masters...

Vaitkus hands a bottle to Leipheimer - he also has some bananas for Contador...

Some water, Alberto? No, just give me those bananas, por favor...

There's just wheat fields and deep blue skies to entertain the peloton as it speeds towards Valladolid...

Rambos and Horrillo are still resisting the peloton's chase - they have over three minutes with 25-kilometres to go...

Silence-Lotto is leading a determined chase now - they fancy a stage-win for Greg Van Avermaet, perhaps..?

Astana suddenly rushes to the front, led by Sergio Paulinho - the acceleration splits the peloton with 15-kilometres to go...

The sprint is in full flow in Valladolid - who can win this one then?

It looks as if Tom Boonen (center) has won, albeit it by a few centimetres...

Is not Boonen, the winner is revealed as Wouter Weylandt..!

Everyone knows who's leading the Vuelta - Alberto Contador!
