stage 18

imanol erviti of caisse d'epargne made his first professional victory a big one in las rozas, crossing the finish line only centimetres ahead of credit agricole's nicolas roche. the two were part of a successful breakaway group, which had gotten away early and held a lead of up to eight minutes. there was no change in the top of the overall rankings.


in the tipping comp, no change to gc, sprints or mountain points.

the next stage will be decisive as it contains two cat 1 climbs before the final time trial. will the contenders let the escape go and save their legs or will they attack each other on the climbs to try to take that podium spot.
