The true boss is back!!! _O_ taken from a training 2 weeks ago

INCREDIBLE!!!! he lose only 10 seconds to danielson and beats all his teammates with ease. rujano has had the best winter of his career talking about it in tachira he did mtb, gym and siwmming sessions from october to january and then double sessions in january and february. let';s hope he isn't too thin yet. he should start giro with a lot more weight than last year when he was too vulnerable for the weather and got sick

:eek: you're back. missed your colombian hypin, exciting times these be.

I think Rujano could have a pretty solid season, what do you think his plans will be after the giro tho?

I made sure to ask Ryo that before I picked him for my cq team;)

He said basically back to South America, so I didnt choose him, but those of you who did, could be in for a nice surprise if he manages to get into La Vuelta like he tried last year.

meh even with this, some of the semi Italian races in between and a giro equal to or better then last year 700-800 points is possible :D

rujano will go back to venezuela after giro and ride there. but I think the plans are bick for 2013 with venezuela trying to get into the wt and they will need lots of points for that and with rujano winning langkawi and giro will score massive points.

Timmy didn't say Rujano was Columbian though.

ruben just wanted to post that photo and rujano is often mistaken for colombian on many news websites even.

what italain stageraces are there after the giro? only brixia in late july. there's no real point for rujano and he really prefers to ride in sotuh america. rujano said in interview in tachira he will ride 2 more years in europe for trying giro and perhaps tour and vuelta and then return to venezuela where he hopes to win vuelta tachira 3 more times.

Wow what a festival of joy....LOL does Every rider get a time penalty for being pushed?

no. this is the charm of cycling there. keep in mind rujano won that vuelta tachira 3 sedconds in overall ahead of alarcon. while alarcon had to stop for a car on that climb as you can see. but that's all part of being a cylist there :D you lose some and you win some and basicaly everyone gets pushed. there's a video on youtube about tachira 2012 where 1 dutch rider managed to finish the race and he was pushed up basically every climb there was becaus ethe fans felt so soryr for him and loved his bravery of trying to race there :D the race should basically be forbidden to ride by rider over 75 kg.
