Just in: Samu third in Andalucía final
















Samuel Sánchez grabbed a noteworthy third place in today's final stage of the Vuelta a Andalucía. Diminutive Katusha climber Dani Moreno beat Valverde and Samu to the win atop a small climb in La Guardia, meaning Valverde secured the first overall while Samu was left to rue yesterday's ill-timed puncture that cost him a shot at the general classification. To complete a good day for the team, Igor Antón looked the part and secured ninth place. The Galdakao native thus rose to 15th on GC, while Astarloza dropped out of the top 10.
