New Zealand cyclist Hayden Roulston will contest the Tour of Spain road race starting this weekend.

Roulston required 18 stitches to heal a 10cm gash in his knee after a fall in Italy last week and needed to prove to his Columbia HTC team he was capable of competing in the 21-day tour from Seville to Madrid.
