Delage (Française Des Jeux) leaving the race before today's start which is known worldwide for its great beauty While the tourists come to see the Alhambra - a symbolic building built in the Middle Ages by the Arabs that lived in this area for centuries - the racers would have no time for sightseeing on this demanding stage The first action came in the form of a breakaway which was formed by 20 riders just 50 kilometres into the stage On the loose were Jurgen Van Goolen (Discovery Channel) David López García (Caisse d'Epargne) Damiano Cunego and Daniele Bennati (Lampre-Fondital) and Laszlo Bodrogi (Crédit Agricole) and it reached a 4'15" gap by kilometre 77 The second climb of the day (Puerto de los Blancares - category 3 - kilometre 139) helped the field eat into the break's advantage and the leaders held three minutes over the top as the GC favourites sent their teams to the front to set up a dynamic finale stage 13 winner Andreas Klier (T-Mobile) and Aurélien Clerc (Bouygues Telecom) abandoned the race made a hard surge to crop distance to the escapees The break was 1'50" ahead of the gruppo maillot oro at kilometre 170 the escapees and a select group of favourites came together David López García and Damiano Cunego led the race (kilometre 176) while the peloton picked up the remnants of the day's move The Italian pulled solo while Beltrán launched a chase from behind Vladimir Efimkin and Samuel Sánchez were the favourites that rose to the front of the peloton The Russian was kept busy marking the attacks by CSC's captain At the summit of Monachil (kilometre 181.4 - 20 kilometres to go) 'Triki' Beltrán led by 12 seconds over the Lampre rider with Sánchez in third place Menchov and Evans crossed 42 seconds behind Samuel Sánchez is a versatile rider who knows well how to descend fast The rider from Asturias caught Cunego while Beltrán held his lead with 10 kilometres to go and caught Beltrán with seven kilometres remaining Sánchez and Beltrán arrived together in Granada's centre The Euskaltel-Euskadi rider was the favourite to win over the 36 year-old Sánchez launched the two-man sprint It was a big win for one of Spain's best riders Stage 16 - September 18: Jaen- Puertollano Rest day two is over and the riders face up to six days of racing until the 62nd edition of the Vuelta a España concludes in Madrid Stage 16 and 17 will present two transitional stages before the GC men will slug it out for the final maillot oro starting in Jaén and finishing in Puertollano will be a 'short' but demanding stage of 161.5 kilometres The climbs will mix it up and likely allow an escape to survive On tap for the day are the category 2 climb at Andujar Natural Park (km 76) category 3 ascent of Sierra Madrona (km 102) and the category 2 climb at

Horner took a sizeable chunk of time out of his rivals and leads Italian Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) by 52 seconds going into the first rest day An aggressive start to the race was foreshadowed by a crash in the neutralized zone that forced several riders including Canadian Guillaume Boivin (Cannondale) No breakaway was allowed to form until 60 kilometres into the course’s 186.8 kilometres The stage not only ended on the Beyond Category Alto de Hazallanas but also included the Category One Alto de Monachil in the final 35 kilometres As Fabian Cancellara’s pace thinned out the peloton Thomasz Marczynski (Poland/Vacansoleil) and Georg Preidler (Austria/Argos-Shimano) remaining at the foot of the day’s final climb with a 1:40 lead perhaps animated by news that his Euskatel team has

Horner attacked and immediately opened a gap Though Nibali and compatriot Ivan Basso (Cannondale) drove the pace their half-dozen strong group of GC contenders could neither haul back the American nor
