Vuelta Stage 13: Nelson Oliveira attacks solo to take the win
Nelson Oliveira of Lampre-Merida has won Stage 13 of the Vuelta after attacking from the break with more than 25 kilometres remaining of today's stage to Tarazona.
It was the 26-year-old's second attempt to get clear of what had been a big breakaway group of some two dozen riders, an earlier sortie with IAM Cycling's Sylvain Chavanel with 40 kilometres remaining getting reeled back in.
His second effort to escape his companions in the break stuck though as the reigning Portuguese national time trial champion rode away to his first Grand Tour stage win.
Julien Simon of Cofirdis pipped Team Sky's Nicolas Roche to second place, exactly a minute behind the stage winner.
The main group finished the 178 kilometre stage from Calatayud almost five minutes down on Oliveira, and Astana's Fabio Aru retaining the race lead.
Simon has been news editor at road.cc since 2009, reporting on 10 editions and counting of pro cycling’s biggest races such as the Tour de France, stories on issues including infrastructure and campaigning, and interviewing some of the biggest names in cycling. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, his background has proved invaluable in reporting on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, and the bike industry. He splits his time between London and Cambridge, and loves taking his miniature schnauzer Elodie on adventures in the basket of her Elephant Bike.
I agree. I find the way the residents exaggerate an occasional minor inconvenience pathetic,

I don't see gorilla serum on the list - either he was missing a trick, or the anti-doping agencies are lagging behind as usual.
