Setting the Pace
If the leader's jersey is on the back of a member of your team, it is your job to set the pace on the front of the peloton. Tinkoff Saxo is no stranger to this rule, or to the hard work that it requires. Their team leader, Alberto Contador, has led many a ProTour race and the Ruta del Sol is just another race he hopes to add to his palamares. While this race's leader's jersey is red, it is the Danish National Champion that is on the front breaking the wind for the rest of the team.
