Today’s sporting press centres on Cancellara’s victory in Valencia yesterday. “El País” opens with: "The machine neither flies nor brakes", in relation to Fabian Cancellara’s victory in the TT. “El Mundo” also focuses on the Swiss rider: "Cancellara wins back the golden jersey for a day", in allusion to today’s finish in Aitana, which is sure to lead to a new change in leadership.

“ABC” opens with "Samuel adds spice to the Vuelta", before going on to explain that the Asturian rider’s mechanics spread vinegar on his wheels in order to improve their adhesion during yesterday’s wet TT stage. “La Razón” gets straight to the point: "Cancellara, of course".
