Igor Anton triumphs over the steep climb

The steep climb to the finish of stage four at Valdepeñas de Jaén inspired some aggressive racing for a second day at the Vuelta, with Basque climber Igor Anton proving he was the strongest, with a long and powerful surge to the line.

The Italians are expected to bring approximately 75 people to Geelong for the 2010 UCI Road World Championships including competitors,…
