Vuelta Prologue
Rabobank’s Denis Menchov took the lead in the Vuelta today with a win in the Prologue TT. Menchov beat a great time set by Rik Verbrugge (who hold the record for fastest TT in the Giro).
Notable placing are a third by Tom Danielson, 7th by defending champion Roberto Heras and a 9th place by (I focus on the Giro) Gilberto Simoni.
