[Lexman]

Landani wins again
2. De La Cruz
3. Mas
4. Roson
5. Superman

 

[Arredondo]

Anton always performing in Burgos!

 

[silvergrenade]

Moscon 7th?

 

[Carols]

Mas continues to impress and Landa is pretty dominant here!

Re:

8th, behind the two DD riders

 

[Valv.Piti]

That finish. Valverde-esque!

The future of Spanish cycling doesnt look so bad after all now. Rosón and especially Más seem to be the real deals.

Impressive display from QS on how to blow up the Sky train. Landa was just too strong.


Look out- the Mas is the next Contador hype train is gaining steam. Looked much stronger than MA Lopez. Unless Lefevre wastes his talent as a lead out man for a sprinter (see stunted development of Verona). OTOH, Quick Step is quietly building a quality GC team with Martin, Mas, and de la Cruz.

Re:

And as always, finishing very strongly on the end. He was nowhere to be seen when the group of six went clear, but paced himself superbly and finished few seconds behind Superman Lopez. He seems to be again in the same shape of last year, let's see if illnesses don't affect him again at the Vuelta.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Soler, Fernandez, Moreno etc. still has a lot of work to do tho. That was a pretty bad display by the Movistar-guys who were free to do whatever. I hope at least some of them get it right for the Vuelta.

No doubt. Just hope Lefevre plays his cards right on this. He's got a real stable of young GC talent, and a podium contender with Martin.

And Jungels (and maybe Alaphilippe, if he develops toward that speciality).

Quick Step must have some of the biggest talent pool for U25 GC specialists.

Betancur will have to ride on his own :sad:

 

[LaFlorecita]

Again - Enric _O_

By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if Enric goes back to the Fundacion Contador team once it goes pro (should be in the near future)

 

[SafeBet]

The rider who came in 7th is Kudus, right?

Hm. I reserve my opinion until I see them in a greater field.

But what the ***. Jetse Bol 9th?

Since when is he a climber. I'm momentarily confused

Since he's been training in Mexico where his wife is from?

 

[Forever The Best]

Good rides by Mas and Roson, getting ready for Vuelta. (That's assuming Mas will ride Vuelta, right?)

Not sure. Let's not forget he is still only 22

Still. Absolutely flabbergasted. Never knew he had it in him.

Interesting fact, when he became professional in 2012, Rabobank chose Bol over Tom Dumoulin, who had to stay in the CT squad. As a result, Dumoulin went to Sunweb instead.

Absolutely amazing how good the insight at Rabobank was :lol:
