 Michael Matthews
delivered on the hard work done by his Orica-GreenEdge teammates with a
beautifully judged victory in Arcos de la Frontera. The final three
kilometers were extremely technical, featuring a pinch point coming
into and over a narrow bridge, several tight turns through the town and
then a kilometer-long climb up to the finish. (cyclingnews.com)

August 25, 2014  For
Chris Froome,
the cool down after stage 3 of the Vuelta a España took on a novel
form, as he completed the ALS ice bucket challenge outside the Team Sky
bus with Pete Kennaugh
and trainer Tim Kerrison,
to the mirth of the fans who gathered for a glimpse of the former Tour
de France winner. (cyclingnews.com)
August 25, 2014  If
stage one’s team time trial of the Vuelta España offered a chance to
assess each team’s collective strength, then stage three’s finale of
the Vuelta a España on Monday at Arcos de la Frontera will do the same
for the favorites - and it will be as much about bike handling skills
as pure strength. (cyclingnews.com)
August 25, 2014  This
Vuelta a España just might live up to its billing as the best-ever
field for the Spanish tour. Without a doubt, more big names and
established superstars rolled out of the start gate Saturday than any
Vuelta before. Grand tour winners. (velonews.com)
August 25, 2014  After
enduring four runner-up finishes over six stages, Garmin-Sharp got it
right Sunday and finally took a stage win during the final day of the
USA Pro Challenge in the team's home state of Colorado.

spectators might have a difficult time defining what kind of race the
Vermont Overland Grand Prix exactly is. It’s kind of a gravel race, but
there isn’t exactly a lot of gravel. It’s kind of a road race, but a
large part of the course takes place on roads that would destroy the
suspension of your average sedan. (cxmagazine.com)
August 25, 2014  For
Wilco Kelderman,
the late addition of an array of star names to the field for his debut
Vuelta a España is a source of motivation rather than of intimidation.
Just 23 years of age and in his third season as a professional, Kelderman’s
apprenticeship to date has been a smooth one. A solid 17th in his first
Giro d’Italia last year, he followed that up with seventh this time
around and – perhaps more impressively – fourth in a full-blooded
Critérium du Dauphiné straight afterwards. (cyclingnews.com)
August 25, 2014  One-sided
power meter offers wattage measurement at a lower

August 25, 2014 |  Chris Horner is
hoping his controversial exit from the Vuelta a España does not have an
adverse effect on his contract talks for 2015. Horner, 42, was unable
to defend his Vuelta title after treatment for a nagging chest cold
pushed his cortisol levels below the acceptable standard for the
cycling group, MPCC (Movement Pour Cyclisme Credible), prompting
Lampre-Merida to remove him Friday from the Vuelta roster.

August 25, 2014  "Hm,
if I didn't know better, I'd say it's our first entry from the new way
to do grand tour first weeks, the "I Can't Believe It's a Climbing
Stage!" stage. Also known to Peter
Sagan as the "I Can't Believe How Easy You're Making This
For Me!" stage. Wait, what? Moreno
Hofland can climb? We'll see about that." (podiumcafe.com)
August 25, 2014  A
late crash involving Vuelta a España leader Alejandro Valverde
and two of his teammates on stage 3 to Arcos de la Frontera saw him
unable to defend his top spot overall. (cyclingnews.com)
August 25, 2014  Andersen
continues on as race leader. (cyclingnews.com)
August 25, 2014  Former
Australian national champion Amanda
Spratt took part in both races for the Australian
Orica-AIS team and wrote this report about the weekend.

August 25, 2014  Alexander Kristoff has
been winning with ease in 2014 since his breakthrough victory at
Milan-San Remo in the spring and two debut stage victories at the Tour
de France. (cyclingnews.com)
August 25, 2014  Wearing
a USA Pro Challenge leader’s jersey can be a heavy burden.
Would any rider in the peloton turn down a shot at the yellow, green, or polka-dot shirts if they had a chance? Unlikely, but once you put on that special piece of kit, responsibilities shift. (velonews.com) August 25, 2014  After
failing to successfully conclude his bid for the maglia rosa at the
2014 edition of Giro d’Italia, Cadel
Evans lined up at the Vuelta not as a BMC leader, but
reliable lieutenant of Samuel
Sanchez. Even though such exceptional situation could be
treated as a part of his slow withdrawal from professional sport, the
37-year Australian turns down discussions about his retirement and
claims to feel relieved to ride Grand Tour event without pressure.

a superb Giro d'Italia this May followed by a training crash ending his
hopes of making a Tour de France debut, Michael Matthews continued
his rollercoaster season with an emphatic Vuelta a Espana stage win on
Monday and the leader's jersey to boot. (cyclingnews.com)

have started the Vuelta a España on the back foot following his crash

champion Chris Horner
was withdrawn from the Vuelta a Espana due to cortisol levels below the

of which his team, Lampre-Merida, is a
member. (socalcycling.com)
August 25, 2014  The
husband and wife reporting team of Travis
and Angelica Dixon
hit the roads of Colorado one last time on Sunday to capture all the
action and atmosphere of the final stage from Boulder to Denver. Travis was on the

on the photo-moto for what was yet another great day’s racing through
the spectacular Colorado countryside. (pezcyclingnews.com)

is rallying its troops around Tour de France winner Vincenzo Nibali for
the world championship road race in Ponferrada, Spain. The official
team will not be known until Friday, September 12, 16 days before the
race on September 28, but it appears that it will be one for Nibali.

August 25, 2014  Andrew Talansky by
many was considered a dark horse to finish on the podium of the
star-studded Vuelta a Espana after the Criterium du Dauphine surprise
winner abandoned the Tour de France in highly dramatic circumstances.
Recovered from injuries sustained in France, the 25-year old American
managed to put his latest disappointments into a right perspective but
claimed that he is dedicated to a supporting role he is expected to
play in the season’s final Grand Tour. (cyclingquotes.com)
August 25, 2014  Gabriel Rasch will
be one of the men behind Team Sky's Chris
Froome at this Vuelta a España, not as a professional
rider like he used to be until last April, but as a sports director.
The British squad named the Norwegian one of the directors for the
Spanish Grand Tour, alongside Dario
Cioni and Dan
Frost. (cyclingnews.com)
