[Dazed and Confused]

Good, fun raceaction.

He did actually get a fine lead out from the others, but he didn't have enough left in the end.
Instead a 19 year old Frenchman won. Can't remember when I last saw that happen.

Previous results are similar.

How did this manage to be the top-10 of an opening stage of a pro race?

Very cool for the AVC kids, though.

Pelayo Sánchez finished with the legend Ole Theiler and most of the Russian team from Kyrgyzstan, 3 minutes behind the breakaway.

Hugo de la Calle has crashed during the descent and he´s lost 12 minutes. Now it makes sense why Burgos has disappeared after pulling.
