Rojas won easy, as it was supossed, despite a fall in the start that make him loss about half a minute (they told me 40 seconds anyway)

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

btw how is quiroz already back racing when he was caught earlier this year and suspended I believe?

 

[Eric8-A]

For some reason, I'm now finding it hard to find legit results on Costa Rica

Rojas takes this race to the clinic once again by winning stage 11 and 12 with a ridiculous margin.

Juan Carlos Rojas is not the new Eddy Merckx, Eddy Merckx is the old Juan Carlos Rojas

 

[Taxus4a]

It s have been the most easy victory in Costa Rica for "El Rey Juan Carlos".
More than 50 km/h in a 40 kms ITT, impressive for a climber. Wiggins, Tony and Cancellara must be worried

 

[Eric8-A]

I think it was Ryo who said Rojas was sort of like Vino, he's been doing great. He rode phenomenally on stage 7.

seems this year everyone was finally clean except rojas. I will ask into this by someone who knows this very well to see what actually happened.

rojas is not exactly a climber. he's more build like a botero or vino

yes he can be best compared to a vino. all his characteristics

usually daniel moreno participates in this race but he unfortunately crashed badly 2 days ago I think

Nice looking parcours.

Selection of Castilla y León for Táchira.

It is not a real Castilla y León selection, most of them are amateur, but tree of them have already raced Táchira with MMR bikes last year. Edgar N. Nieto crashed the first day, the recent sign up of mitical 7 eleven (but from Filipinas) is his best rider.

A dificult race for them, with the incredible perfomances that get there people as Rujano, Yeison Delgado and cia...

And this year the route is even harder.

Oscar Pujol, who is getting good result in CX this winter, has important races in MTB this week, so he is not in the team.

You need to be a good rider just to finish, but I hope Edgar, and maybe Noel or Jhonatan Gonzalez, could do something.

[Ryo Hazuki]

basically if you are over 70 kg you have no chance in hell of finishing tachira unless you are a local or colombian. there are famous videos on youtube of dutch teams where riders would literally come in more than 1 hour despite all fans pushing them

There's a new Ecuadorian team dubbed Team Ecuador. It will comprise of 17 riders, 10 from Ecuador, and 7 from Spain. The team will most likely be led by Bryon Guama as he's a part of it.

it's rpm team from ecuador. they were also active in 2013 in europe. can't wait for guama to come over to europe again though. also they have carapaz, who is a monster talent, although a bit too fat

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

No, Carapaz did not sign with them in the end. He wants to have more liberty and a better racing calendar then RPM would provide.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

that's bad news. so he stays in ecuador? seems another big talent goes to waste
