Stage 4 preview: Ponferrada → Ponferrada, 15 km (TT)

April 16 update: After the mountaintop finish, we now have some time gaps heading into the stage 4 rolling TT. Rolling as not hilly but not flat either. Actually, there is a good little mesa in the middle of the course that riders will go up and down the other side. Can Igor Anton hang on to his 13 second lead over Alberto Contador? I doubt it but watch and see for yourself. See the race summary table (r) for the stage profile, map, timetable. — Steve

Stage 2 Final Kilometers (08:13 french) — sport+

Stage 2 preview: Burgos → Carrión de los Condes, 210 km (flat/rolling)

April 14 update: The profile for stage 2 is the flattest of all the stages this week, but stage 2 is also by far the longest at 210 km and there is a 60% chance of rain in the forecast. There is small bump inside 10 km to go and then the finish (last km) is dead flat. On paper, it setups up for another sprint finish but the weather could change all that.
