Simon Gerrans of the Cervelo test team won Stage 10 of the Vuelta today and he proclaimed that he’s essentially checked off at least one of his goals this race.
“I came here with two goals — one was to win a stage and another was to get ready for the worlds,” Gerrans said. “I’ve done the first and now it’s a question of topping off my form before Mendrisio.” He became the first Australian to win a stage at all three grand tours, winning a stage in the Tour de France in 2008, a stage in the Giro d’Italia this year and now the Vuelta. It also gives the Cervelo team a win on each of the three grand tours this year as well.
Simon Gerrans Wins Stage 10 of the Vuelta
The overall general classification list didn’t change at all. Alejandro Valverde remains in the golden jersey as the overall leader with Cadel Evans just a few seconds behind.
It’s funny how many of the riders are talking about the Vuelta as a warm-up for the World Championships. It minimizes the golden jersey of the Vuelta.
Regardless, tomorrow’s stage is a climbing stage with a “leg-breaking” category 1 climb.
