Vuelta Asturias: 27th/28thApril - 2nd May 2010

[Libertine Seguros]

what about Urán?

Anyway, I would love to see UNE-EPM (or are they EPM-UNE this year?) come over to Europe a few times.

Uran is an amazing talent but not as talented as Duarte and Henao.

I hope so too but I don't think so. They couldn't get visa for Langkawi either. They would've killed that race for sure on genting. They are the best team in Colombia no doubt.

Where is the race, today?

It's now on. Today's stage will finish a bit later than usual.

As I suspected, they've denied us the climb to San Lorenzo, where the race has been blown up.

26km to go.

Duarte, Intxausti and Perez 2 minutes behind Zaballa.

Mosquera chasing zaballa at a little more than a minute, about halfway between the duarte group and zaballa

 

[Mellow Velo]

35ph average speed. Getting on for 6 hours in the saddle and all change at the top of the GC.
There was I thinking it was all over after yesterday.
That was some ride by Zaballa.

It was great tactics by Loule also. duarte was watching intxausti and santi perez and that left zaballa to fly the coup and take both stage and overall. great ride though to not only be able to hold off mosquera, but to put time into him as well

There you are: 200 km, more than 4000 m of climbing and no superstrong team to control the race.

The same stage in the Vuelta a España with ProTour teams would have been very different (read boring).

what a pity-Duarte & his team couldn't control the race at all-they lost in the tactics department -however-the victory is well deserved by Zaballa. overall the stage was really exiting...
