32 year-old Movistar rider Xavier Tondo died in a domestic accident on Monday. He was an excellent climber and very well liked in the peloton. His biggest wins were stage 6 at the 2010 Paris-Nice and early this year he captured the overall win at Vuelta Castilla y Leon		share this photo
"I interpreted the climb in constant progression. The first kilometer was very hard, then I got the rhythm and I never dropped the intensity of effort. At first time check I had a few seconds of advantage on Nibali, then I increased the rhythm as I agreed with Riis and there was no story for my rivals. Of course, the dedication for this victory is to Xavier Tondo Volpini."		share this photo
