Valverde prepares Amstel

By Antonio J. Salmerón

Caisse d'Epargne leader Alejandro Valverde applauded his team after the fourth stage of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco. The team put in an enormous effort to help their leader dispute the victory, however, the best Valverde could do was third. "The team worked very hard in the final part of the stage, but it was impossible to catch Voigt because the gap was too big. I am very happy because the entire team was great today, especially the ones who had to be in front."
