Another gift from Bertie. Seems kind of a **** move to pull back Tiralongo just to show he can and then let him win.

i think we are seeing a gent on the road guys...

I think that's part of it. I'm very impressed by it. But let's not pretend that he's also making friends, just look how gifting a stage to Anton and Rujano has helped him out already. That being said the fact it's Tiralongo makes me feel that it was more personal this time.

First pro victory for Tiralongo. Wonder if Contador was aware?

Either way, that was pretty amazing of Bertie to do.

Contador the new Chuck Norris. No one has won this year unless Alberto has allowed it:

Rujano, Anton, Nieve and now Tiralongo

He basically attacked to make sure Purito didn't get him at the line. Chapeau AC. If this is Tiralongo's first win, then bravo
