Mario De Sarraga's 140-kilometre solo breakaway failed close to the finish on stage 2 in the Vuelta. The boys in red must deal with the handicap of a much smaller budget than other teams. However, they are mixing it with the best in the Vuelta. The 36 year old rider from Oviedo instigated the first long breakaway of the Vuelta and compiled enough points to put himself into the lead in that competition.
