If you've been paying attention to the Vuelta this year, you may have spotted Rein Taaramae having a dig or two off the front on some of the climbs. You may also have spotted him getting caught before the line. Not today though, as his persistence was rewarded with a stage win.
Behind the young Estonian, it was another day of slogging it out between the GC boys. Wiggins and Froome were on the front again and riding faster than most were comfortable with. As the British duo worked away, they shed the likes of Nibali, J-Rod and Fuglsang - with only a few tough mountain stages to go things are looking good for Team Sky.
No scores as of yet, but I think the Bile Beans did well. Well enough to overtake the Roulers? We'll have to wait and see. I'll update when those scores are in.
It's not over yet though, and for Stage 15 the race heads up the "fearsome Anglirú". It's a short stage, but the final climb is super steep. I would have said it was a finish that suits J-Rod, but he seems to have been suffering of late, maybe my boy Mollema will go for the win.
