[Dazed and Confused]

Hard to think of a better place to kick off racing in Europe. This collection of one day races adds up to a pretty nice pseudo stage race.

Race 1 (TROFEO SANTANY? ? SES SALINES ? CAMPOS):

Race 2 (TROFEO ANDRATX ? MIRADOR D?ES COLOMER):

Race 3 (TROFEO SERRA DE TRAMUNTANA. VALLDEMOSSA-DEI?):

Race 4 (TROFEO PLAYA DE PALMA – PALMA):

No live TV production (boo), but there will be some highlights in the evening somewhere I believe.

15. Lasca

Nice Lasca scoring me 6 points for the CQ game

 

[jens_attacks]

there should be 20 mins highlights on teledeporte as always

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great! Nice win for Pelucchi. Hopefully he'll have a break through season.

 

[Jspear]

Which Van Poppel is that in the top 10?
Edit: asked to prematurely...now I remember. Danny.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Crazy line-up of sprinters, must be hectic there

 

[Christian]

Wow, Kirsch starts his first race as a pro with a bang! Going in a break, than solo - not everyone would have these b*lls I think! Good for him, I am optimistic that he has what it takes to make it among the pros and Cult seems like the right step for him.

Him who?
Valverde?

Si senor.

Most combatative is my guess.

Not much really, but nice if it's your very first pro race. Atleast he's not scared.
