Just a reminder...

1 Frank Schleck (Saxo Bank) 35:02:00
2 Lance Armstrong (Radioshack) + 0:12
3 Jacob Fuglsang (Saxo Bank) + 0:17
4 Steve Morabito (BMC Racing) + 0:23
5 Robert Gesink (Rabobank) + 0:27
6 Tony Martin (HTC - Columbia)
7 Rigoberto Uran (Caisse d'Epargne) + 0:33
8 Andreas Kloden (Radioshack) + 0:48
9 Joaquim Rodriguez Oliver (Katusha) + 1:09
10 Levi Leipheimer (Radioshack) + 1:14

You mean the race where Gesink dropped Morabito like a stone in the queen stage?

Anyway, Rujano makes a move, and Duarte wins the stage... good times in Ryoland.

Duarte
Machado
Scarponi


I'm surprised Scarponi lost to Duate in a sprint. Scarponi is generally quite quick.

GC
Scarponi
Machado +7s
Morabito +34s
Pozzovivo +35s

Surely this is the greatest victory in the history of greatness and victories. Duarte is a once-in-a-generation champion and must surely now be the favourite for every single race he enters for the rest of the year.

it was 10s bonus for first yesterday

 

[auscyclefan94]

What happened to Nibali?

He cracked. Worrying signs for il giro.

but that would then be once in a week champion surely!

Morabito third place on GC! Oh yea! maybe their season isnt that disastrous after all. Is this geox first win of the season, sorry i might be quite ignorant.

And morabito owned the great time trialler Robert Gesink?

 

[hrotha]

Well, now I wonder why the hell Duarte lost over one minute yesterday.

Back then it was the great climber Robert Gesink.

BTW, didn't Duarte lose his last sprint FTW? Against Basso, of all people?

Faster tempo, flatter climb. For some riders, they don't adapt well to such a climb.

Yesterday was more of a power climb (hence why Tommy V was even in the picture), today was a true climber's climb.

Quite close. Second win of the season after Pelucchi in Almeria.

Apart from the slight inconsistency and slightly suspect attack timing Duarte has been living up to the hype quite well.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Stage 3 results: Duarte 4h41-05/36,288kmh; 2. Machado; 3. Scarponi +3"; 4, Morabito; 5. Kiserlovski, 6. Pozzovivo, 7. Rujano +8"

Menchov actually podiumed in a stage race, was it Murcia?

 

[roundabout]

Maybe Menchov will come back to life next week but that's not a certainty.

I had a lot of grief from other forum members for not knowing the past of Philip Gilbert very well and I accepted the attacks for not doing the research. I think you have to do yours on Duarte.
