Tour of Murcia - 4th to 6th March

[Spine Concept]

That's a cool name

That's Martijn Keizer if I'm not mistaken. Transferred to Vacansoleil this season from Rabo CT.

 

[Rocksteady]

Poetry!? Very nice.

Naming who is in the break:
Verona (Spanish national team), Lettuce (Andalucia-Caja Granada), Mangel (Saur Sojasun), Timmer (Skil-Shimano), Keizer (Vacansoleil), Alcaraz (KTM-Murcia).


Is that Romaine or his brother Iceberg?

Love the prize on offer, a load of oranges to your table within 24 hours?

I think they are saying from the tree to your table in 24 hrs. but yeah, AWESOME prize...

 

[sublimit]

Could be worse, a years supply of lettuce delivered to your door.
You would of thought some Sangria or cash would be better for a prize..

Obviously you haven't tried authentic Valencian oranges.

I seem to remember tasting Oranges from Southern Spain - the size of grapefruits. Quite nice actually to be fair.

Mangel flying down the Cola due Cabello like a falcon - peloton 27s behind

 

[Jamsque]

Bunch sprint coming most likely. The race isn't over-burdened with sprinting talent, Theo Bos is probably the biggest name but he may not have made it over that final climb.

 

[Grzdylu]

Matthews for the win.

Y'Cd be right - Gruppo compatto - Mangel taken 10km left

Mountain Pass order
1. Mangel; 2. Keizer;3. Verona.

 

[Jamsque]

Rabobank leading the pack into the final 5km, the roads are wet according to the ticker.

 

[boomcie]

Gregor Brown

 

[LukeSchmid]

Go Greg Brown

 

[Jamsque]

Group of 3 away with under 3km to go! Valls (Geox-TMC), Fran Pérez (Movistar) and Jones (UnitedHealthcare)!

 

[jens_attacks]

go valls!

....

 

[Grzdylu]

Matthews wins!

 

[boomcie]

Matthews, this avatar is starting to bother me more and more.

 

[joy118118]

Matthews!!!!!

 

[LukeSchmid]

YES!!!!!!!! Matthews

 

[jens_attacks]

let's hope no one broke their bones.

 

[Jamsque]

Nice call, Grzdylu! Rabo's strategy of taking three sprinters to the race has paid off.

 

[Ryaguas]

The Rabobus is unstoppable in this early season... good for Matthews... when are we going to start hyping him? The next Freire as Lulu said?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

more like the next jalabert

 

[The Sheep]

I like Matthews
