Vuelta a Colombia brought José Tito Hernández to my mind. What happened to him? Anyone knows? He left Team Banco Guayaquil in March according to PCS, then he rode a couple of races, but no Vuelta a Colombia...

Vuelta a Colombia brought José Tito Hernández to my mind. What happened to him? Anyone knows? He left Team Banco Guayaquil in March according to PCS, then he rode a couple of races, but no Vuelta a Colombia...

he was announced as an EPM rider in January, so that information on PCS is probably wrong

Remember Giulio Pellizzari from the Tour of the Alps? Well, he found a mountainous race without any descending, and promptly won.

Some nice racing through the dark going on in Brescia. The Zalf duo of Federico Guzzo and Edoardo Zamperini have 1:15 together with the former Zalf rider Matteo Zurlo. Four laps (22 km) to go.

The group behind couldn't cooperate well enough to close the gap. Zurla did his best and managed to respond to all the attacks from the Zalf duo, but he couldn't match Guzzo in the final sprint.

Bennett won the first stage in Sibiu Cycling Tour.

Which one?

 

[RedheadDane]

Which one?

The one in the race.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The one in the race.

I'm going to assume it was a big win for Stefan then.

Sure...

Jorgen Nordhagen got tired of destroying his kin, so he decide to smoke some pros instead, with not so small margins in a prologue. Including Trym Holter (Androni), Ludvik Holstad (very good in the French scene) and Mats Glende (a regular in XCO). Form for Valromey and Glasgow is loading.

What race? It appears the result is not up anywhere.

Some amateur race? I generally assume this thread is for lesser-known UCI races, not mostly unknown amateur races.
Maybe we should make a thread for those races?

Van Eetvelt with the easy victory in Sibiu.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah pretty easy as expected. His biggest potential rival was probably Moniquet in his own team and he definitely didn't have a good day.

Lipowitz pulled the group the whole climb long for Schachmann who just blew up on the first attack apparently.

Lol he finished 30 seconds behind Lipowitz... What the hell happened to Schachmann the last couple of years???

Not really clear how the last 10km went. I think you can see Schachmann attack; Van Eetvelt follows easily, group comes back together and then it is unclear what happens. For like 6 kms you see flashes of riders here and there. Maybe an attack of Donovan. And then at around 3km you see Van Eetvelt pulling with Donovan in his wheel who quickly stops following. And there is some confusion if it is Van Eetvelt or Sepulveda* in the lead.... like only the front camera can build
Actually a nice performance from Q36.5 team with 2th, 3th and 13th...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Just realised that this race ends with a TT of a whopping 3.3 kilometres. Possibly the shortest closing TT ever?

An epilogue?

 

[Mayomaniac]

The 19 year old Mexican Isaac del Toro who finished 11th on Balea Lac yesterday looks like someone to keep an eye on. Already 10th on the gc in the u23 Course the la Paix this year and a few top 10 results in hilly Italian one day races.

Did Van Eetvelt win a sheep?

 

[ciranda]

It was a ritual sacrifice of a toy animal.

 

[DNP-Old]

My suspicion is Lennert was riding on a flat, otherwise he just got schooled by Schachmann.

 

[postmanhat]

Don't give it a name or ask too many questions at the post-race dinner.
