Dani Moreno won stage 4 of the 2013 Vuelta a España in an amazing location: the end of the world, so is called the extreme west part of Galicia where an enormous crowd gathered to attend the event.

All teams express their ambition for the Vuelta

ASTANA. Alexander Shefer: “We hope for a podium finish with Vincenzo Nibali. He’s our only leader, really. Jakob Fuglsang and Janez Brajkovic can make the top 10 of every Grand Tour but they aren’t exactly leaders. We’ll see in which role we’ll ask them to race, whether it’ll have to be in defense or in attack. Maxim Iglinskiy is able to win a stage, he’s also here to get a good condition for the world championship.” All teams express their ambition for the Vuelta weiterlesen
