Vuelta a España: Stage 20

Ezequiel Mosquera did everything he could to take the overall lead, but Vincenzo Nibali did exactly what he needed to defend.  A great final stage to what has been a very fun grand tour. 

David Moncoutie did what he needed today to defend his King of the Mountains jersey, winning it for the third year in a row. 

We also had a battle today between Team Katusha and Caisse d'Epargne in the team competition.  If you'll remember Caisse d'Epargne came in second to Radio Shack in the Tour of France, and it looks like they are going to get second again this time they are losing by 27 seconds going into the final day. 

Tom Danielson had another tough day in the saddle losing more time and slipping back another spot, but he'll get a top 10 finish.  I believe this will keep his spot on Garmin-Transitions, but I'm not 100% confident.
