"ATAQUES CHARLY!"

If ever you wanted proof. Witness here the final kilometers of Stage 5 of Vuleta a Asturias when Charly Wegelius attacks and sends spanish TV into the dark ages. Such is the power on the Yorkshireman.

The hardened race fans will have heard already, but i'm going to shout it again.

The Vuelta a Asturias was run this weekend in North Western Spain. The United Healthcare Pro-cycling team have been rocking it hard. Five podiums and win from Robert Forster has made a very successful  outing.
my real thrill and yells of jubilation came when i read the race report today.  Charly Wegelius the uber domestique and all round good egg romped home in 3rd place only four seconds back from the stage winner and more importanly (for bragging rights) 12 seconds ahead of Christian Meier.

As the worlds biggest fan of la fenicotterro( the flamingo) I would like to take this opportunity to say a big and heartfelt congratulations to Charly and the entire UHC team for a brilliant Vuelta a Asturias
