I doubt that crash had any lasting physical impact on Antón. He could win Zoncolan 2011 and was 3rd in the Giro GC after that stage. That Zoncolan/Gardeccia weekend was the tipping point in his career as GT contender.Oh my, time flies, already 11 years ago? Remember Antón's a tad downhill wide road with the peleton in sprint like position before the final climb.
And yes, he'd been the deserved winner by that year. It was like the crash sat limitations on his performance when recovered, though to a lesser extent than Beloki.
It still hurts my heart as well![]()

Antón said that he had never slept so relieved as the night after his crash in the 2010 Vuelta. His limitations were clearly in his head more than his legs.
Why doesn't Jumbo make Wanty ride, I thought that was the whole point of them giving the jersey away.
yes they don't even know you can put riders in the break!BikeExchange just love to chase.
lol not clear at all, jumbo has a habit of gifting the break the stage, it could even now still happen!I don't really get why Cort is in the break. Yes, EF probably wanted someone in there, and Cort is obviously their best bet, but he was also in the break yesterday, and tomorrow's stage suits him much better (of course this stage is not bad for him either, but it was pretty clear from the start that a break wouldn't be able to make it).
Isn't it impressive?

Montefrio is around but not on today's route. You can see it on the stage map of the opening post SW of Alcalá la Real, the town hosting the intermediate sprint.Montefrio, the town they just passed through
