What's the first European race to expect some Colombian fireworks this season?

in tirreno henao and uran supposedly have a free role. certainly catalunya will be a colombian firework, depending on the course of course, quintana, henao, uran, ospina should all ride there. serpa I think is still injured for a while

Unfortunately the course is the worst stage of last year, with the worst stage of the year before.

He's right. Quintana only played a very minor role.

he was the only one to follow tiernan locke in the queenstage and together they dropped all. only in the final hill quintana dropped and lost, but whatever my memory certainly is a lot better than yours

Cheers. Looking forward to see them in a free role. Especially Quintana.

I shall go for Pinot. Simon, Slagter, Voeckler, Bardet and Visconti i think could also go well.

Hopefully Dan Martin can have a nice ride too.

Yes, he was there on the penultimate lap, but when the race was won he was nowhere.

He was good, certainly for a neo pro, but to say this was the JTL vs. Quintana show... no. It was the JTL show.
