Volta a Catalunya 2013 - Stage 5: Rialp → Lleida (156 kms)

[RHRH19861986]

Last year valverde fell over a bottle in the feedzone and was unable to get backk to the peleton, losing a few mins on the stage

Thanks, I knew there was something...

Also a pity for Capecchi, who wants to take the next step at Movistar.

I am guessing you're kidding and you know the profile.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a live stream?

Doubt theres one yet. Why watch this when E3 is going on though?

 

[wirral]

Livestreams begin (allegedly) at 3:30 pm CET. That's in just over half an hour.

If the map on the official site is correct, there's a 90° corner 150m from the finish!

Stage 1 had a similar turn but, as Carlton Kirby informed us, it appeared to have been taken out. Catalunya seems to specialise in last minute changes and surprises. We shall see (or not if you don't open the stream).

Dan Martin gets a bonus second!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cocteau_ireland]

That bonus second almost makes up for yesterday. Interesting to see jrod going for it too but Martin beats him comfortably. That sprint will give him numerous stage wins.

All the gc guys going for the bunch sprint?!

Parisien it was.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Even non-sprinters win mass sprints with an Argos jersey on. Great stuff!
