Boonen Blows

He's not blowing coke any more, or so we're led to believe. But he blew away the competition today in the first field sprint of the Vuelta. Big climb about 20 km from the finish, so not all the fast men were there. But there were plenty who made it over, and we got a nice dash to the line. Bennati was second and took the gold jersey ahead of old man Erik Zabel. Three days, three different leaders. So far, so good. Get the lowdown from CN and Pez. Watch the final km here.

Big day for Jonny B in the pool. He wins the stage with 240 points. Vic had a nice day as well and, with El Presidente coming back down to earth, moves into the overall lead. Hal finished third and holds onto third in the overall.
