Thanks for joining us for what was a dramatic day at the Vuelta. Terrible luck for Anton, who crashed out while wearing the red jersey, but it's thrown this race wide open.

Rodriguez attacks! Nibali cannot respond! The Spaniard will win today's stage with a massive sucker punch of an attack.
1km
Mosquera, Schleck and Tondo are in pursuit. Roche is slipping a bit. Nibali leads Rodriguez amongst a vast sea of supporters.
1km
Rodriguez goes off in pursuit but Tondo and Mosquera haven't done a thing. Nibali is caught by Rodriguez as they pass the one-to-go banner.
2km
Terpstra is caught as Nibali launches an attack! Nobody can respond...
2.5km
Tondo and Roche are in this group too, as is Rodriguez. There's a slight flatter section here before the final ramp to the finish. Millar has been caught and dropped. Terpstra is stillholding on but he only has 10 seconds. Sastre has been distanced.
3km
Kreuziger's pace has blown the peloton apart. Peter Velits of HTC is still there, as is Schleck and Mosquiera. Terpstra is still trying his best up front alone, but it doesn't look good for the Dutchman.
3.5km
Terpstra drops Millar on the front. We haven't been given any time checks for ages so no idea what the advantage is.

It's official - Anton has abandoned the race. He's in the team car, with cuts everywhere - on his race, hands, arms, legs, backside, back, shoulders... a terrible way to end the race that he was leading.
4km
Attack by a Xacabio-Galicia rider. Caisse d'Epargne's Marzio Bruseghin also came down in that crash.
5km
Nibali and Kreuziger lead the peloton as Martinez is loaded on to an ambulance. Anton still in the team car.
5km
Back on the front of the peloton, it's Liquigas setting the pace. The Vuelta has been blown wide open by that crash.
