Hi there Cyclingnews readers, here's an update on the first two stages of my Vuelta. Everything is going well thus far, the team was very good yesterday. I stayed out of trouble, we covered a few breakaways and I was in a good position in the final. I was really happy with yesterday and in the team time trial we were good as well. I think that for the team that we have, we did a good ride. CSC was obviously a level above us but the other two were very close, so I think if we didn't make a few small mistakes, we could have got second.

With victory in the Tour de Georgia and a top 10 ride at the Vuelta a España, 2005 saw Tom Danielson come of age. Now one of Discovery's leaders, the likable American climbing specialist will be looking to realise the full extent of his incredible stage race potential. But before he addresses a few personal goals, there's the not-so-minor matter of helping Paolo Savoldelli achieve his third victory at the Giro d'Italia in May. Follow his progress on Cyclingnews.
