Cycling - Vuelta Danilo Di Luca took the leader's gold jersey in the Vuelta after an impressive victory in the first mountain stage of this year's race.
Robbie McEwen pulled out of the Vuelta today, due to an agreement to appear in a Dutch criterium race, according to reports. The Australian had agreed to take part in the one-day race before finalising his Vuelta schedule and so finished last - and outside the time limit - intentionally.
