Clasica San Sebastián 30/7 - 220.2 km

[Alexandre B.]

Purito wants not to win 100%.

 

[rainman]

Well deserved after his terrible luck in the Tour

 

[hfer07]

Mollema got this

 

[postmanhat]

Valverde and Rodriguez You're guaranteed a win if they're chasing together

 

[Carols]

Chapeau TGBM!!!! Nice Ride!!!

 

[gooner]

Well done Mollema. I couldn't put up with Valverde winning again.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

THE GREAT AMAZING BAUKE MOLLEMA

Simply the best today

 

[Red Rick]

Purito doesnt sprint for podium. Purito waves to the people of Donostia

 

[luckyboy]

Phew. Was worried Valverde might end up winning

 

[Carols]

Ninja sighting!

 

[Alexandre B.]

Gallopin wasn't brave enough to attack just after the climb.

Well, Bauke deserved something. So well done, Bauke!

 

[BigMac]

Embarassing chase. Well done Mollema, well done Golloping Foxley.

He did not have the level to last 3 weeks, nothing to do with luck! Now, a very unlucky rider was Contador for instance.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Nice win for Bauke. Deserved!

Re:

Bunch of rookies, Valverde and Purito.

Gallopin really is the rookie. Everyone knew Purito and Valverde weren't going to work together so he should've always immediately jumped in Mollema's wheel

 

[Samamba]

Well done Mollema.

I feel bad for Gallopin, chasing with two of the biggest dickheads in the peloton.
Great to see him back in form after a horrible Tour though.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

This route makes for a good transition stage in the middle of a GT.

But a one day classic in the Basque Country? Ehh...

Well that was an anti climax. Nothing for 200km, very little action on the climb and then another easy solo to finish. They need to reconsider this route again.

 

[hfer07]

WTF happened to this race? it used to be entertaining.......

I should have started watching the last 5K instead...

Re: Re:

Gallopin really is the rookie. Everyone knew Purito and Valverde weren't going to work together so he should've always closed down Mollema

We didn't see the attack. A second before the attack Gallopin was boxed in.

Re:

go Mauke!

Wow. He managed to pull pretty unlikeable face in the finish there. Vomiting smiley

 

[Atwood]

Good ride Bauke!

He crashed on St. Gervais stage while he was in the wheel of Bardet. I think this is a litle bit unlucky

 

[classicomano]

Must feel like Christmas to be in a leading group with Valverde and Rodriguez. All you have to do is accelerate once and you know you've got it.

Valverde put in a few pulls. Pretty shameful from Purito; although I guess he's so weak on the flat it wouldn't have made much difference. Not sure why he went so early on the climb; he should have waited for the last 500m like usual and tried to gap everyone there.
