Stage 10: Alicante - Murcia 162km

Due to difficulties from injuries incurred during the large crash of stage 4, Thomas Rohregger withdrew from La Vuelta (Milram report).

Linus Gerdemann rode within the largest break of the tour so far (19 riders), and was having a great race, and it was looking likely for another win for Team Milram, until he punctured (read Milram's report here).

It was an exciting finish, to bad Linus was unable to give it a go.
