of the Mountain, mountain, mountain. From beginning to end, day of a respite. Such is "Vuelta", a kingdom of the Spanish miners, the scorching sun and dry, burned slopes. But unlike "Dzhiro of d' Italy", local mountains take not gradients, and extent. The smooth, wide, gradually taking away steep slopes exhausting forces which have remained after a long season. Day by day, without respites on stages through passage – similar test maintain only got used to similar loadings. The help of team, tactics and technologies pale into insignificance: if the racer does not pull, already nothing will help him.
Inquisitors from ASO
This time everything was even more difficult than p. The ASO company, is a lot of years carrying out "Tour de France", undertook Spanish "Vuelta". Innovations felt both racers, and the audience. New site and actual graphics during translation together with analytical programs – a nice wrapper behind which the hell was. Thomas Torkvemada surely would estimate efforts of French. If before "Vuelt" passed with house comfort, now to the most difficult racing tests the organizational were added. Two-three-hour moving between stages and starts exhausted early in the morning cyclists stronger other "Anglira".
the Route of race surprised with discrepancy. At abundance of liftings there were very few places for attacks of miners. Gradients for 10-12% began too close to the finish or did not appear at all. Prevalence of mountains through passage deprived of chances of explosive racers like Nairo Quintana and Joachim Rodriguez on successful attack long before the stage end, leaving only short sites on the finish. <= "autolink" href = ""> Alejandro Valverde , Fabio Ara and Christopher Frum such gradients could use a class more effectively, but in the pelotena there were too many teams which have arrived behind a victory – not one, so another would cover any tempo attack.
Royal structure
To Spain there arrived all favourites, except for Alberto Contador – the Spanish leader of "Tinkoff-Sakso" passed "Dzhiro" and "Round" therefore stayed at home. But to Spain there arrived Frum, and also Quintana with Valverde. For Rodriguez and Nibali race became the last chance successfully to finish a season, and Fabio Ara and Mikel Landa arrived to fix captain's ambitions. Except them there arrived many racers of the second plan ready at any time to jump out forward: Luís Mentyes, Esteban Chavez, Mikel Niyeve,
Unexpected duel on start
From the first stages race Movistar, "Astana", "Tinkoff-Sakso" and "Katyusha" directed. Sky was rolled on "Tura" and in Spain worked from defense, without exaggerating possibility of the captain. Frum kept in the background and descended because of a trauma – his failure almost surprised nobody. It was difficult to expect from the British of feats after deafening success in France. The first week presented to the audience fight between Esteban Chavez and Tom Dyumulen. While grandees were over-modest, young guys escaped forward. Volume – at the expense of an individual course, and Chavez thanks to sharp attack uphill. 
Such deal suited to p with grandees – up to the most difficult 11th stage nobody spent excess forces for defense. Mountain excursion on beauty of Andorra promised hard-fought battle between miners – not for nothing the local Joachim Rodriguez helped to make a route. But in practice six category liftings (from which four – the first category and one – the highest) squeezed out racers without the rest. Only Ara decided on attack under the finish, and after it the captain of "Katyusha" jerked also. Besides Frum's who has broken a boatshaped bone of foot at the beginning of a stage descent, the mountain rejected back leaders of Movistar. Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde left too many forces in France and hardly gathered a form. the Second week passed p under the sign of Purito Rodriguez's attacks. Mountain finishes had a kind feeling to short breakthroughs in endings – favourite tactics of the captain of "Katyusha" therefore over and over again he bit off advantage at Ara and Dyumulen keeping nearby. Before day of rest there came the key moment of race. Ahead of cyclists flat cutting on which Dutch Dyumulen had an advantage waited. Miners gradually increased a stock before the leader of Giant-Alpecin, but anybody did not decide on serious attack. Competitors looked back at each other and were afraid to spend too many forces while Tom quietly kept in group of leaders. Rodriguez and Ara gave a lift to him to the most difficult mountains, holding high, but equal speed and when attacked, remained not enough space, and Dyumulen minimized losses. the Leader of Giant-Alpecin, as expected, outstripped all at a distance in 38,7 kilometers. But if Fabio Ara sufficed a reserve at 1.50, Joachim Rodriguez starting in a red undershirt, lost too much and dropped out of fight for a victory. Racers of Movistar surprised: Valverde and, in particular, Quintana flashed an individual course on the plain, having approached the five of the strongest of the overall ranking. At level the leader of "Tinkoff-Sakso" Rafaê Mike who has risen by the fourth place acted also. a race Epilogue differently as the tragedy cannot call h2 class by "font-open-sans". Though fans of "Astana" and "Katyusha" tested absolutely opposite emotions. Dyumulen together with the team ground under a delivery of the sprinter John Degenkolba as the coast three seconds of advantage over Ara could, but mountains were stronger. On the third lifting of the 20th stage miners dumped the Dutch from a wheel, and on the last left irrevocably. Quintana and Mike made the way on a podium, having attacked before the finish, and Rafaê almost caught up exhausted Rodriguez. But as a result all remained at the, except Dyumulen. The volume for one stage caught three minutes and dropped out of the five. Ara first Gran-tur won. Fabio's Success it is obliged to "Astana" which even in nonideal structure, after an exhausting season appeared terrible force. Moreover, at the second stage it lost at once two important racers: Vincenzo Nibali disqualified for the help of the cleaner, and Paolo Tiralongo descended after a blockage. But even seven together racers looked more strongly than the others. Mikel Landa offered chances for the sake of the help to the captain, and after all on "Dzhiro" the Spaniard almost overtook the team mate in the overall ranking. Especially fine "Astana" proved at the key moment, in time having worked on Ara at the height of the 20th stage. Here Movistar surprised with approach to race. From the first meters it seemed that it is the territory of Spaniards, and they dictate conditions. And it turned out: in the middle of a stage racers in dark green undershirts conducted peloton, controlled a situation and held favorable speed. But as soon as reached business, gregari as if were dissolved, and Quintana with Valverde hardly held group of favourites. Joachim Rodriguez became one more loser of race. On the second week it became clear that chances of the leader of "Katyusha" of a victory are very high. It was necessary to dump Ara and Dyumulen from a wheel. Where easier to say than to make, but it was worth risking. The second place – the next defeat, how many them already was? One rather long attack solved all problems, even the leader of a preview Juan Antonio Flecha was eager to see that, but did not leave. Reliably, economically and without Purito's excess risk again on a podium. But so Gran-tury are not won, attacks in Kontador or Quintana's style if there is no opportunity abruptly to pass cutting are necessary. the Separate subject – injuries. Them on "Vuelta" it appeared enough. Distracted from Chris Bukmans (Lotto Soudal) Road came across a hollow and received terrible injuries of lungs. Doctors even had to enter the racer into a coma which he safely left as soon as began to breathe independently. Maintenance motorcycles became the main trouble of race. Probably, ASO sharply increased their staff, differently how to understand wild nonprofessionalism and mistakes of drivers in the elementary situations? Oleg Tinkov even threatened to remove team from competitions after Peter Sagan and Serzhiu Paulinyyu's loss because of motorcyclists. Despite mistakes like the first stage on the embankment where teams did not compete, and only safely reached to the finish, and not the most successful route on which there was no place to legendary tops, "Vuelta" turned out not less fascinating, than "Dzhiro of d' Italy" and where "Tour de France" is more interesting. Young Chavez and Dyumulen reminded that their time will come soon – the miner and a razdelshchik yet time will battle for a leader undershirt. "Astana" took a revenge for "Tours", and "Katyusha" – for all season in which already 40 victories, but were not outstanding successes to Gran-turakh. Each stage was rich with p in feats and fulfillments. So, Christian Sbaralyi, the racer of the modest continental MTN-QHUBEKA team outstripped Degenkolba in sprint, and Frank <= = ""> Schleck (Trek) reminded a class to "autolink" href of himself in a separation, having taken away a stage at number 16. Ruben Plaza (Lampre Merida) demented the audience and fans when went to a solo separation for 117 kilometers to the finish. While Ara and "Astana" sorted Dyumulen somewhere behind, Plaza alone rose by two mountains of the first category and held advantage on the finish. , fatigue and psychological exinanition after the whole season do not add forces therefore the Spanish race seldom takes place linearly. "Vuelt" – terrible test which not everything is allowed to worry, and is won here only by the most balanced and strong. Dyumulen against all
