Mallorca Challenge 'one day' Races

[Afrank]

Bike racing without live coverage - such waste.

Even more of a waste when you got guys like Valverde, Henao, Costa, and Gesink going for the win. This sounds like a great race.

Costa returns to the front. Gesink at 9 sec.

#ChallengeMallorca / 19 a meta, ya bajando Valverde (MOV), Henao (SKY) y Rui Costa (MOV) y con 12" a Gesink (BLA) y 50" a un gr de 10

All four of them back together now apparently, if the Movistar won't work the peloton still has a chance as well.

Gesink is 5 secs behind, peloton only 35.

 

[theyoungest]

The peloton is only 35 secs back. Apparently Ben Swift was among the first of the peloton over the top?

 

[Der Effe]

Gesink back with the 3 leaders, peloton 45 secs behind.

Yep, not sure if that Journo confused 10 (swift) and 11 (JTL) or if there is weirdness afoot.

 

[Pentacycle]

Now gesink has returned to the front, their advantage is still 35''.

 

[theyoungest]

The same formula returns: let Gesink do all the work, and sprint at the end.

 

[Afrank]

45' to peloton.

 

[Der Effe]

Valverde and Henao attack again.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Anybody with info on the last little bump?

Mallorca / 9 a meta,ataca Valverde (MOV) detras Henao (SKY)

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

henao is an animal that is going to tear down european cycling this year. you heard it here first(years ago already)

 

[Der Effe]

Henao, Rui Costa and Valverde have 10 secs on Gesink.

Edit: Together again

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lol gesink and his lack of explosivity

. :d

 

[Pentacycle]

Back together again, Gesink gets dropped all the time but probably returns on the flat. He's even improved his descending, considering he caught the other three in the descent.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

henao could even win this if he hasn't wasted too much energy. he's incredibly fast and valverde's sprint has been declining some

this year he will still spend too much time dragging the British duo around town. Maybe in '14.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Only 3km to go

 

[Der Effe]

45 secs on the peloton with 3k to go. Gesink do a mini time trial and crush them all. Lol.

Henao and Costa were strong here last year as well. All that's missing is Nordhaug.
