most famous for riding couple hundred meters of a Tour stage in Lavenu's team car. Was DQ'd for that

Re: Re:

John Cena... I mean Sepulveda wins. Completely out of nowhere, he was litterally nowhere to be seen until the last k.

He did seem to appear from nowhere, but it was a lot more than a km out. He went past Acevedo just as Acevedo caught Dayer.

True, but that was after the heli stopped showing the riders on the climb. Of course there was reports of him being in front, but he literally wasnt seen in front until the stationary cameras caught him inside the last k or so.

Re:

Was the guy from Costa Rica one of the infamous Rojas brothers?

Does anyone still have the article about them smacking some other rider?

 

[Bushman]

Crazy win for Sepulveda.Decent performance for Majka.Horrendous coverage,those splits didn't save it.

I believe it was Jesper Hansen and not Majka who came in with Lopez and Nairo Quintana.

 

[Jancouver]

So is Roman Villalobos the new leader?

Maybe. He's been developing well over the last couple of years. Still only 24 and was 4th in this race last year. Quite a big talent although his most infamous moment so far in his career was being thrown off the Tour for finishing a stage in a team car (I think!).

Edit: Zinoviev beat me to it.

Yeah, didn't finish a stage in the car - it was his first Tour last year and he was so stressed out by the pace and expectations that once he got a puncture in the mountains and his team car wasn't around he panicked and jumped in AG2R's team car, sat in it for a couple of hundred meters before realizing wtf he was doing and got back out. That was enough to get him DQd. I hope he does better this year.

Sepulveda won the Classic Sud Ardèche last year, and it's quite an achievement.

 

[SafeBet]

From riding on a car to being a car himself. Huge gaps!

Lopez, Majka and Nairo more than 2 minutes behind.

Yep, the cameras seemed allergic to him, which is a bit unfortunate because that was an epic ride from him.

On another note, I've just realised that Fortuneo are the same team as Bretagne - Seche

If I remember well, he was 19th in the standings before the incident.

Re:

oooooops, Dayer is the GC leader

Koshevoy apparently finished 5th with nobody noticing,

He did very well until his DQ.

 

[Bushman]

Whats up with these Rojas brothers from Costa Rica? Impressive ride from Villalobos.

 

[BalearicBeats]

Great ride from Ilia Koshevoy too if these results are correct

nope, Sepulveda is.

From the Twitter

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Official twitter says GC standings are now:

Clasificación general /Overall classification:
1.E. Sepúlveda
2.Dayer Quintana +3"
3.R.Contreras +38"
4.Nairo Quintana +42"

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Official twitter account also very very very happy at the local boy's win.

 

[Bushman]

Was it really Majka from Tinkoff? I was convinced it was Jesper Hansen. I guess not, then.

Maldonado from Uruguay finished 10th, he's from 1994. Impressive.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

He put 2 minutes 10 seconds into the favourites group. Jesus. Plus 50 seconds into Acevedo and a minute and a half into Dayer, his two fellow attackers. That's crazy form.

19th on PSM.
Arrived in the same time as Talansky, Gallopin, Barguil, Frank and Ten Dam on Plateau de Beille.

Daniel Diaz really doesnt thrive under strict European cycling rules. jens_attacks must be disappointed.

From what I understood he came from behind closed the gap to Dayer Acevedo and then took off. Motoman.
