Serpa!!!!!!

EDIT: Lol, did the same thing as Ferminal

Congrats to him, must've been a task just to finish.

Sounds like it would have been great to watch, shame there was no coverage.

I doubt there would be much visible - let's see what the RAI highlights manage tonight!

Serpa????

Damn it... I should have picked him!!! hahaha

 

[Ferminal]

So someone from the break won afterall...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Serpa!!!!!!

Columbian mountain snow!

 

[Ferminal]

Brutt 2nd, another great result.

So someone from the break won afterall...

Which break, was he in the original one? There seemed so many. I think according to Cadel's wife, the first group split - so was those riders the ones that ended the race do you think?

Not too sure, but Brutt was 2nd too who was also in the first split. I guess they were fresher than the guys who had to bridge. Either that or no one actually made it across.

Serpa and Brutt were 10 seconds ahead of another group. So is this a reverse then of the other race (Sardina, I think)?

EDIT: Ah no, that was Sella

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Serpa!!!

Serpa Wins!

 

[Kvinto]

huh, it's just incredible, so Serpa becomes the best skier among cyclists?

 

[jens_attacks]

no serpa was in the 31 group in the wind that pulled away. so serpa came from all the way back

anyway a colombian winning in the snow and wind, changing times

 

[Ryaguas]

Androni with an amazing early season... just... WOW... with such a low budget but They always get results... Serpa is absolutely in his peak... hope He can get the same form for Il Giro!

Uhh, my post very much states that Serpa was part of the original group, my question is whether or not anyone actually managed to come across to that group.

 

[Ferminal]

1. [COL] SERPA PEREZ Jose Rodolfo AND 80
2. [RUS] BRUTT Pavel KAT 48
3. [DEN] SÖRENSEN Nicki SBS 40
4. [POL] PATERSKI Maciej LIQ 36
5. [SLO] SPILAK Simon LAM 32
6. [SLO] BOLE Grega LAM 28
7. [AUS] CLARKE Simon AST 24
8. [ITA] TOSATTO Matteo SBS 20
9. [ESP] VILA ERRANDONEA Patxi Javier DER 16
10. [SLO] STANGELJ Gorazd AST 12


Clarke is the only one who wasn't originally named in the group of 31, but that could have been a mistake.

ok I read it like you said he was in the original break which he wasn't. only the first 31 were finishing the race none from behind I thought that was already very clear. as only 29 guys were still on route.

 

[Kvinto]

seems like Spilak is approaching to Paris - Nice in good form

 

[Ryaguas]

Look how the weather was!!
Epic race indeed!

 

[L'arriviste]

awesome win. he deserves it after so many second places. his moustache is happy right now.

waiting for the rai highlights.

In the pics it looks like he shaved it off. Maybe that helped him win!

 

[Escarabajo]

Great win for Serpa.

He is in very good shape. I hope he keeps this form all the way to the Giro (If they get invited).

 

[Ryaguas]

Noooooooo the mustache!!!! Serpa! what have you done????

Savio doesnt approve it!

Well taking it off seems to have brought him luck - so may be Savio was right Makes him harder to spot in crowd though.

 

[taiwan]

To be fair, all he had to do was make the split.
