Tour de San Luis (2.1) Januari 21-27 (11 WT / 27 teams total)

Diaz won overall, maybe Diniz is 2nd overall right now but I'm not sure about that

Great. First win in 13 for Bertie,

Diaz wins GC!

What were the time gaps?

 

[trevim]

Andre Cardoso in with Van Garderen I think. And Jose Mendes attacked somewhere on the climb. Not bad

What were the time gaps?

Contador is such a legend. He gives every race he rides the respect it deserves. Awesome ride.

It's likely that he lost 22 seconds but I'm not sure about that though

 

[Afrank]

Good win Berto, kudos to Diaz for staying with him. Hope to see Diaz in the world tour some time, he's a great talent.

 

[Miburo]

how much did tjvg lose?

i saw him in the last km, not so much behind.

don't think he lost more than 20 sec.

His climbing is slowly getting better, he did a good job at limiting his losses.

what are the prospects of Diaz getting some calls from Pro-Conti or Pro Tour teams? Caja Rural appears to be interested in him....

1 Contador
2 Diaz

5 Santambrogio?

way too early to judge that, it's january and it's a 1 week stage race

in 2012 he improved but we'll see if he'll keep that going in 2013

Tour will be his real test.

Good if he joins them. Will be interested to see how he goes in the vuelta.

A good sign I saw from him last July was how he was at his strongest in the third week of the tour.
