[Libertine Seguros]

Cabreira cracks!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

this is much better than yesterday

 

[Parrulo]

is that broco at the back?

skinniest guy in the world attacking?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

this is much better than yesterday

This is a proper MTF. Yesterday's was a cat.2 climb that's a warmup unless they put it later in the race. This is what A Volta is about.

 

[canyonball]

Joni Brandão is a great name by any standards! Well done. Livramento goes.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Livramento now - Tavira going to do the 1-2-3 with Mestre too?

 

[Parrulo]

how old is joni?

 

[Parrulo]

Livramento now - Tavira going to do the 1-2-3 with Mestre too?

i would say so.

 

[canyonball]

Joni Brandão is 21, I believe.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

LA looking settled in the group, so Broco doesn't look too troubled just yet.

 

[Parrulo]

pace can't be that high because cabreira made it back

cabreira makes back at the exact place his family is. the women that gave him a bottle of water is his mon

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Joni Brandão is 21, I believe.

Rides for Liberty Seguros amateur/u23 team.

 

[Parrulo]

is livramento a serious GC rider or is he being used for a man up the road tactic?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Firsakov chasing down Livramento, who's been given a surprising amount of rope by Barbot here.

 

[canyonball]

I would expect one of the prio's to join him in a sec, but who knows.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Livramento's been a decent mountain domestique for Blanco for the last few years.

Daniel Silva might be a threat however, and now he's on the move.

 

[Parrulo]

firsakov doing a nice escartin impression

 

[Libertine Seguros]

LA moving guys up to the front now...

 

[Libertine Seguros]

[Dekker_Tifosi]
