<p>Saxo Bank-SunGard conquered the first victory of the season as Alberto Contador leaped away on the second stage of Vuelta a Murcia and crossed the finish line all alone.</p><p>

He is also in the lead of the overall rankings before tomorrow's time trial over 12 kilometers finishing the race.</p><p>

”On the final climb, the peloton explodes into pjeces and Alberto launches several attacks and shortly before the mountain top, he gets the crucial gap. He knew the descent as we have been training there recently so he quickly created important distance and crossed the finish line alone. Tomorrow, I predict that he has a good chance of taking the overall win as we have been studying the course and I know he is happy about it”, says Saxo Bank-SunGard sports director, Dan Frost.</p>
