Dom said tomorrow's stage will be a windy and difficult. Gerald Ciolek (GER) of Team Milram will likely be giving it a go tomorrow. Tom Boonen and Tyler Farrar's strong finish today indicate they have arrived at La Vuelta with good form. Gerald Ciolek also has recently finished third place in Vattenfall Cyclassics, just behind Tyler Farrar, who had won the race. So tomorrow's finish should be exciting.
