US cyclist Van Garderen solidly in Top 10 at Vuelta
One of the freshest faces at the Vuelta a Espana this year is US pro cyclist Tejay van Garderen, who is making a mark at his first Grand Tour.
In Tuesday's hard-fought Stage 4 with its steep climb at the finish, for instance, Van Garderen finished just 8 seconds behind the day's winner, Igor Anton (Spain) of Euskaltel Euskadi.
That helped preserve the 22-year-old cyclist's position in the Top 10 for the fourth day. He's currently sitting in 6th place, 29 seconds behind overall leader Phillipe Gilbert ..

HTC-Columbia wins team time trial at Vuelta; Cavendish in red
Mark Cavendish fans had to wait five stages in this year's Tour de France bike race before the HTC-Columbia speedster collected his first victory.
No such wait was necessary at the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, however. Cavendish led his cycling team across the finish line with the best time on Saturday to win the team time trial and capture overall leader's red jersey.
The 10-mile after-dark event in Seville launched the 65th edition of the Grand Tour around Spain. It ends Sept. 19 in Madrid.
Before Saturday's win, Cavendish had eight victories in 2010 …..
