    are always a good place to look for live coverage of most races even if not aired on Eurosport, although they just appear to have delayed coverage for the Volta, and I'm guessing it will be in Spanish

    The three escapees hold up your rent, 2:30.

    A 25 kms from goal, the trio of escapees maintains its advantage.

    The platoon regulates and keeps them within range.

    Gastauer (AG2R), Smukulis (HTC-Highroad), Julián Sánchez Pimienta (Caja Rural) Gastau (AG2R), Smukulis (HTC-Highroad), Julian Sanchez Pimienta (Caja Rural)

    to 2:40 Platoon.

    A 30 kms from goal, the advantage is 2 minutes to Gastau, Smukulis and Sanchez Pimienta.

    Now the race is about to finish the descent.

    Three teams have borne the brunt of persecution in the alt de Sant Grau, Saxo Bank, Lampre and Katusha.

    Solid start from the Irish. Martin 14th, Roche 18th and Deignan 50th. All in the bunch, 28 secs down on the winner. Already, half of the field are out of the contention.

    Yep, looks like young Martin is setting himself up for a great season.
    What a joke watching Contador ( yes probably the most gifted climber in the past 10 years) being cheered to victory. In my view (slightjy biased of course) Martin was the first untarnished cyclist over the finish line

    I'm out of the GC hunt now but I'm going okay so there's no point in sitting around waiting for the race to end. I'll try and get up the road in the days ahead. I might as well try and attack

    It'll be interesting to see if he can grab himself a stage win!

    Another good day for Dan Martin,
    finishing third in GC after Levi Leipheimer retired due to illness
