Who is a fascist?

Rojas is a big admirer of Franco.

A nice number ahead.

Second group look like they might get caught, but it's not going to matter.

Should have sat up ages ago, when it was obvious they weren't working well together and when the peloton was only 20 seconds behind. With BMC, Sunweb, Movistar and Trek all using their domestiques, they might have closed the gap.

Sky tactics here will be interesting. Does Henao attack so Kwia can sit on? Does he wait to bring back an attack from Gilbert or someone else? Or do they try a 1-2?

 

[sir fly]

Fantastic!

 

[Saint Unix]

PhilGil and Kwiat are strong as balls.

 

[DFA123]

Surely Rojas has to start working now.

 

[Akuryo]

Welcome to 2011 once again, my friends

 

[klintE]

Kwiato and Phil <3

 

[trucido]

Wow Rojas, are you still racing for 4th?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Haas is so strong today, love it.

Who is a fascist?

10 years ago Rojas said in an interview that he liked history. He was asked which historical character he's most interested in and h answered "Franco fascinates me", without saying what he thought of Franco's views.

This being the internet, it's been turned into him standing on a podium shouting that the spanish nationalist party should be in power.

He's never talked about it since so no idea if he's a fascist or just interested in Franco's life.

[therealthing]

Anyone but Rojas- some serious wheelsucking going on here

 

[Billie]

Time for Barguill to start chasing

 

[winkybiker]

Did Kwiat really need to do this?

 

[Flamin]

Haha, Movistar got nothing, perfect.

 

[Orbit501]

askhistorians moderators are all professional historians if you dont know how that sub is run why post such remarks just making yourself pretentious as hell

You can google any ''real historians'' that teach, they tell the same.

Anyway, hope Henao gets 3rd nwo xd

 

[Carols]

Go Phil Gil! I'd love to see him take this down

 

[Flamin]

Don't care who wins from the 2, they both fully deserve it. Great race.
