2015-Volta Ciclista a Catalunya(2WT) 23-29.03

[Hugo Koblet]

What a great stage. Miserable coverage but a Valverde win

 

[PremierAndrew]

Was it a reduced bunch sprint?

 

[Poursuivant]

This was on cyclingquotes.com before, Froome struggling perhaps:

6 km to go - 185,8 km done 24/3-2015 17:10
One of the favourites for today's stage Bryan Coquard has just been dropped. He fought hard to stay in contact but has now been distanced.

Surprisingly, it seems that Froome is riding near the back of the bunch.

Reports are that Tinkoff, Cannondale, Astana and Sky set the pace.

LOL Rojas second

 

[LosBrolin]

 

[fowlyetti]

That looked a pretty easy win there

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

There weren't any sprinters there, but yeah.

When I saw the top ren I assumed Froome must have dropped a few seconds, but no, it was wrongly reported as Froome getting a bonus yesterday when it was Dan Martin

 

[jens_attacks]

[Escarabajo]

Do we have an updated complete Stage standings?

Re: Alejandro Valverde

Oh dear ..... an <SNIPPED> takes stage 2. ..... not a good day for cycling. ..... Move along now ..... nothing (honest) to see here!

I see you're new....take it to the clinic please.

 

[Domulec]

Full results now at PCS. It says Dan Martin came in 12 minutes down: anybody knows more about that?

Hmm, nevermind, they changed it now, he finished in the first group.

Pop over to the clinic ....no dope talk here.

Great win for Valverde. Shame about the lack of TV footage. From the footage I saw Froome looked way down in the peloton. He looked like he was struggling.

Think that was about Tour de Normandy, BMC Development team lost the leaders jersey there. Bohli of the team who had the leaders jersey went down and in the end not everone involved got the same time.

Even still he is unwilling to look at the road ahead.
