Tour de Langkawi (24.02 - 04.03.)

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Serpa new leader. He took more than 22" over Rujano.

should be 1. Serpa 2. Rujano 3. Nino I think.

 

[Eric8-A]

Chris Butler was in the top 10.

 

[jens_attacks]

oh any chance someone capped this?or just highlights later?

doesn't surprise me,serpa is always uber strong in february.this time rujano will peak like an angel in may.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

did anyoen record this?

great training from rujano. serpa can take the win so that he will be commited helpoing out rujano in the giro. also hilarious to see danielson fail like he was born to do

74 Danielson,Thomas Garmin Barracuda @18’17"

and then havign a big mouth the entire week about winning this team and his team sacrificing. well not when there's colombians in the race. even 39 year old victor nino in his first race >>>>> all the great young climbing taslents like rabottini, locatelli and butler

also see the timegaps. they are huge!

Erm, I was specifically referring to 2012, why would Rujano peak for a race he has won already when he's guaranteed an invite to an ideal Giro. If you dispute this you're saying that Rujano was trying to be at his best form for Genting, and as a result his best form isn't very good and has no chance of being top5 in May. Serpa in great form > Rujano building for the Giro, as I said might happen in my post you wasted time ridiculing, today's result comprehensively vindicates that.

What is this cqrankings website you link to, surely only a few people know these secret results?

 

[jens_attacks]

tommy d had no skin on something like 40% of the body.no surprise he wasn't in any shape in this stage

Yeah, I'm sure Danielson was in great form with that result, and his crash earlier in the week didn't bother him one bit... even you would have to realize that a good Danielson would at least make the top 10, with a field like this.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

oh yes I forgot abotu his crash. still why did they work for him then in yesterdays stage and sacrificed all of themselves like also zabriskie said. to me seem the garmin team failed quite hardly

 

[Eric8-A]

Even without the injury, Tommy D would have had no chance with two Venezuelans and two Colombians.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

9km to go. Ochoa, Rujano, Serpa and Nino still in the lead.

was jackson I assume? not ochoa?

 

[Eric8-A]

was jackson I assume? not ochoa?

It was Ochoa. Is he not Venezuelan? Or is that Jackson?

 

[Mellow Velo]

I think most people felt Rujano only had to turn up to win, but Serpa is always super around March.

 

[Cykelbloggar]

It´s Jackson Rodriguez, the full result is published on TdLM:s homepage, Ochoa ended on spot 19. I wonder if Cycling news hasn´t read the results which they have published on the page.

Team Androni Giocattoli-Venezuela got all riders among the top 30 on the result of the stage and in the GC they have all riders in the top 25.

They also leading the Team GC and in the mountain GC they have Serpa on spot 1 and Rujano on spot 3.

Marvelous!

yh well the field is terrible he should put minutes into serpa lol oh well at leat hell build his rich palmearas racing wiv this field of no hopers

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

It was Ochoa. Is he not Venezuelan? Or is that Jackson?

they are both however ochoa finished like 6 minutes down and jackson finished 5th

 

[Ruudz0r]

Danielson his wounds got infected and he was having a lot more difficulty with them today then in the previous 2 days. He tweeted

Bad 24 hours for me. Body is all messed up and now my right leg has an infection. Super swollen feels like it weighs 200 lbs.

Really bummed out as the team has done such a great job and I wanted to pay them back today. Now antibiotics and see how my leg is tomorrow.

 

[goggalor]

Would've expected more from Rujano.

 

[Cykelbloggar]

Would've expected more from Rujano.

As it is written in the report about the stage, and as I have written on their FB page, Serpa has won this stage every time he has participated in the Tour de Langkawi. I don´t think José Rujano wants to spoil that for him. There is lot of hills left to race about, so I am sure that José will go for them, if not Gianni (team manager) decide that the Team will go for Serpa as leader. Yesterday Rujano still was captain of the Team, but after this.. we´ll have to wait and see.

Best regards,
Fritz

Rujano was dropped wasn't he? It's not like he let Serpa win.

Not peak, but the competition isnt that great and Rujano is a south American, who tend to do the opposite of the Andy Schleck strategy, and go for the win in any race they can find.

Also his tt suggests hes not going to bad atm.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Rujano was dropped wasn't he? It's not like he let Serpa win.

Yes. It wasn't a situation where they came to the end together and Rujano didn't contest the sprint. Serpa put time into him.

(Not that this is necessarily a big surprise, give that Rujano's goals are in May).
