[Libertine Seguros]

Strong break for Caja Rural to try to control today - on the Alto del Cordal a break has got away consisting of Arkimedes Arguelyes (Lokosphinx), David Belda (Burgos-BH), Garikoitz Bravo (Euskaltel), Jonathan Castroviejo (Movistar), Jesús Herrada (Movistar), Mikel Landa (Euskaltel) and Antonio Piedra (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA).

Assume Piedra's there to monitor, but Landa being 3rd on GC is a big concern for the men in green.

Edit: This then reduced to Arguelyes and Castroviejo, then Arguelyes dropped Castroviejo on El Violeo, however the bunch caught him on Monte Naranco.

Movistar tweet that Javi Moreno (who of course won this race overall for Caja Rural two years ago) took the win, but beyond that no info yet.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Javi Moreno won stage 2. Dont know about GC yet, Txurruka was still there near the end so he probably wins GC

 

[XlandaluzeX]

Amets gets the GC

bubbly for everybody

 

[Libertine Seguros]

[Dazed and Confused]

Amets gets the GC

Looks like Euskaltel will have to hire Txurruka back next year in order to stay WT...

Congrats to the fellow. Attacking ftw.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Awesome to see Arkaitz Durán up there! He deserves another go around. Can't wait to see what he can do in the Volta, though I suppose he'll probably wind up working for one of the many possibly leaders at Efapel, Ribeiro, Sousa or Brôco. Should have got to about 5th or 6th on GC too, no?

 

[maltiv]

Txurruka wins a race! Sweet jesus!

He's also coming to Tour of Norway (which starts wednesday), can he continue his winning streak?

 

[roundabout]

A group sprint up Naranco?

lol
