It's about time. Say's a lot that this race is the one they were finally able to get their first win in.

Yes, where is the time when superstars like Thomas Dekker graced this race with their presence

Two years ago Contador was here last, I think. Tondo won, Contador flatted twice on the queen stage.

 

[jaylew]

Rojas can't even get a win in this field.

 

[Ferminal]

That isn't great.

He should be winning the overall, maybe not if there are time bonuses.

Surely you remember how good the Colombians were!? I believe it was there that Atapuma showed his GT winning credentials.

I think some interesting names attacked a reasonable way out and Porte was pacing the Contador group for ages, losing heaps of ground

 

[Afrank]

Rojas can't even get a win in this field.

lol, Seriously! I thought for sure as long as he was there in the final, then he should, in theory, be able to grab an easy win. Guess not.

 

[brilleaben]

Pablo! He will grab all the three stages

 

[Descender]

Rojas you ****ing genius.

 

[afpm90]

I'm really interested to see how Carlos Barbero and Evgeny Shalunov will perform in the next two stages.

Rojas can't even get a win in this field.

He got a puncture 15 Km to go and after that (i think) he had work for Sanz

It´s called crisis....

 

[sakdempa]

Ken Hanson (USA Crit Champion) got 11th.. Not bad.. Not bad at all..

ya that + the punctures. I recall it being a pretty good stage

I know man, someone like Rojas is going to win the GC on bonus seconds

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I think it is this stage that theyoungest, ferminal and parrulo are talking about

It was even better the year before that, with Igor Antón and Ezequiel Mosquera trading turns attacking Contador, before Juan Mauricio Soler rode across to them, and they proceeded to do a number on Contador, Antón eventually escaping for the win atop El Morredero, but not being able to get away early enough to prevent Contador taking the win back in the ITT, while, riding for Caja Rural, Michał Kwiatkowski decided that one of his weaknesses was working out which was the right break to be in, so tried to hedge his bets by being in EVERY break.

Good to see. The Carrots win one.
