Rojas just won a race

Post-Ardennes Spanish short stage races are kind of bizarro world though.

I mean, in stage 1 of Asturias last year Amets Txurruka won. Now in stage 1 of Castilla y León Rojas wins. Hell, in this race last year (though it was earlier) Euskaltel won two consecutive sprint stages.

Imagine Rojas vs. Colbrelli vs. Bennati. They would break the fabric of space and time and just be trapped permanently a millimetre before the line in unison, all prevented by the laws of cycling from being able to win.

GREAT Libertine strikes again:D:D:D

Yh, I'll never forget that epic sprint in the Giro where he got a 700m leadout from Petacchi and didn't manage to get around him. Although that wasn't last year, more like 2007.

They'd all think they had won, celebrating to early and than Freire would win. He never trained anyways so he could join the race.

Besides that: I am really really happy for Rochas. But I am also worried that the universe will collapse very soon now.

This is one of the greatest posts in the history of the forum! :D:D:D:D (Yes, it's so good it deserves the maximum amount of smilies). : D (plus one more).

Put them in a classic with Greg Van Avermaet.

There still wouldn't be a winner.

Colbrelli aside, there's a bunch of italian sprinters always there in the end but who almost never wins...Modolo, Appollonio, Nizzolo...

All these got few wins already.

Colbrelli is yet to get his 1st pro win - having 11 Top 5 finishes this year alone..
