He almost crashed Daniel Martin into the barriers after he stopped working. Unintentional, but not too smart.GuyIncognito said:Cance > TheRest said:Who was the rider from SKY that led Kwiatkowski up the climb?
Moscon
He was realy bad on the first 2 stages, had a decent/good ITT and was really strong today, he'll be ready for the classics.GuyIncognito said:Cance > TheRest said:Who was the rider from SKY that led Kwiatkowski up the climb?

Yes, and Hernan Aguirre finished just behind him.Alexandre B. said:First honest showing of Gaudu in the pro ranks. He attacked but it fell flat.
Alexandre B. said:Any news on Castroviejo?
I don't see him in the standings.
When did that happen? I was looking for him in the front group during the ascent, but could not spot him. It happened before the climb?rei_da_montanha said:Alexandre B. said:Any news on Castroviejo?

Mechanical problem. Lost 1:19!

Here's what I wrote when Amaro Antunes had a great showing at the Volta ao Algarve last year:Inquitus said:Generally these fairytales fall apart pretty quickly, hope that's not the case here.
Sure, now he's not with LA, he's with one of the more dubious Portuguese teams and they have a pretty shady history and are rightly treated with suspicion.Libertine Seguros said:Amaro Antunes is a pure climber and fans of Portuguese cycling have been waiting for him to back up his junior performances for a while. They included the mighty Alto de São Macário in the Volta do Futuro a few years ago, about 30-40km from the line, and Amaro just took the field to pieces, but hasn't been able to replicate that to date as an elite. LA-Antarte is one of the less suspicious Portuguese teams (although I am fully aware that's a relative measure) as well.JRanton said:TMobile41 said:Amaro Antunes = Aru
A new favourite for Jens I imagine. Rocket fuelled.
It's quite pleasing to see a Portuguese from a domestic team getting into the top 10 of this race, as the domestic pros never seem to be on form for it despite it being one of their few opportunities (if not their only opportunity) to compete in a field of this calibre all year. Antunes is 10th overall, which matches what Edgar Pinto managed two years ago (for the same team) and what he managed in the Volta a Portugal last year. It is very interesting (and probably a matter for another part of the forum if I'm honest) that LA-Antarte tend to get swamped by the likes of W52 and Efapel in August, but are the only national team to have success at the Volta ao Algarve since Liberty Seguros Continental went under back in 2009.

Great win for Antunes and well deserved victory for the ski jumper
