I've actually been looking a bit around for literal big name riders. I guess we have a winner!

No worries with long names:
Duber Quintero, Team Colombia, won the 1st stage in Langkawi. A Breakaway of 5 riders was given up to 7 minutes, which was too much for such a short stage.
At the end, Quintero attacked his fellow escapees 1.5Km to go and won solo.
His first pro win, after some promising amateur years.
He's 23.
He will have the leader's jersey and sprints' as well.
Brammeier was second (and will wear KOM jersey) and Clarke 3rd.

Great stuff. 6 man teams will always give attackers a bit more chance in stage races these days.

There's always Nambinina RANDRIANANTENAINA

Quintero will be on his way to take the esteemed Scheldeprijs.

 

[RedheadDane]

There's always Nambinina RANDRIANANTENAINA

Now that is impressive.
I'm sorta looking forward to the rather unlikely day when there's a breakaway consisting solely of riders whose last names consists of at least five sylables.

Most epic name in cycling: BOONRATANATHANAKORN Thurakit

Or, for the lovers of Dutch soccer in the seventies, ARIEHAAN Ryan Hillmant

Classic Sud Ardèche - Souvenir Francis Delpech 2014 (1.1)

Result:

1. Florian Vachon
2. Michal Golas
3. Philippe Gilbert
4. Romain Bardet
5. Rémi Di Gregorio
6. Cyril Gautier
7. Jonathan Hivert
8. Julian Arredondo
9. Gianni Meersman
10. Pieter Serry

Too many races, didn't follow the action. Perhaps others did. Anyway a good win for Vachon.

 

[jens_attacks]

is this gilbert v. 2011?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

is this gilbert v. 2011?

lol, he did beat Gautier just like the dawg.

Looks like it was a big group coming in.

 

[the asian]

Not a bad result for Gilbert.

 

[Arredondo]

Good to see Parra already riding well in Europe.

Nice win for Vachon, quality rider who always delivers in these kind of races.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Looks like it was a big group coming in.

Actually the break was caught in the last km (bardet and di gregorio were part of this break) by a largish group driven by QS for Meersman, but the timing was a bit of to give Gianni a proper sprint arrival.
