It was a fast and exciting conclusion Tuesday into Zamora to one of the slowest and most tedious stages any grand tour has endured in years.

Tom Boonen (Quick Step) pipped Filippo Pozzato (Liquigas) to win his second stage of this year’s Vuelta a España, but the 186.3km stage was marked by its sluggish speed and lackadaisical attitude of the peloton.

I wish it was closer than .11 seconds, so I could have written, Boonen wins by a nose!

Why not? Pantani and Simoni did fine despite the blow....although Pantani eventually did himself in with it
