Today's stage finishes in Torrelavega, home of the triple world champion Oscar Freire. The Spaniard, winner of the Worlds in Verona in 1999 and 2004 and in Lisbon in 2001, was the main speaker at a demonstration in Torrelavega calling for more stringent road safety laws. “This campaign is for all the victims of accidents, whether they’re cyclists, pedestrians or in vehicles,” Freire said in his speech. “It’s no longer enough simply to get upset or angry when we see how easy it is to kill in this country when the weapon is some kind of motorised vehicle.” Alasdair Fotheringham was in attendance and has more here.

Not bitter as has been a great race, full of boom and bust and 39 year olds fuelled on fairy dust. Some dilettante called Herbie Sykes dissing it on Rapha news. I invoke ths Blessed Polly Styrene and ask her to play Bondage Up Yours to Herbie.
Anyway, how come I picked First and Third ( no way anyone picked Enric The Teeth Mas by the way?) yet still finished Last in the Dial?
