Contador Dominates

In Stage 13 (San Vicente de la B. - Alto de L´Angliru) of the Vuelta, Alberto Contador asserted some dominance and won the stage, and took over the general classification and put the Golden Fleece on his back.

Stage 14 (Oviedo [you've heard of it if you've seen Vicky Christina Barcelona] - E. E. Fuentes de Invierno) was more of the same with Contador winning in fine form again, not to mention looking pretty sure of himself...


Stage 15 (Cudillero - Ponferrada) went to David Garcia Dapena of Spain, and Contador held onto his lead...

Let us not forget that there is still about a week left to this race, and ol' Levi Leipheimer is a little over a minute behind Contador. But, he's his teammate - so be assured that Levi will be discouraged from acting against Contador - so expect a podium similar to the 2007 Tour de France. Levi making way for Contador.

If he keeps it up, he'll join the elite club of the few who have won all 3 tours... eat it, Lance. Lance Armstrong was too good to do something like that...
