[Geraint Too Fast]

Taaramachine 2.0

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Taaramae wins by attacking 20km out. I believe its a solo win, but who knows with the sh!te coverage.

Anyway congrats to Astana.

2. Mollema
3. Stybar

More than 20.
20 km from the finish he already had over 2 minutes on the peleton. And there was headwind. The new environment at Astana seems to bear its fruits.

 

[classicomano]

A podium for Mollema, what else is new.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Stybbles wowow

Is this true?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Impressive 9th place for neo-pro Floris de Tier!

 

[Dr. Juice]

Is this true?

Bad live coverage but from the site of Vuelta a Murcia:

Taaramae sigue por delante a dos y medio a menos de 20 kms a meta.
(Taaramae keeps riding 2 and a half minutes in front with a less than 20 km to go)

First it was Kangert who was getting better by singing for Astana, now it could bei Taaram?e.

Whatever happened to cars getting out of the way before the finish?...is that only in bigger races....Anyone should have been able to see that was a potential problem.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

btw those cars

Stybar was robbed of a 2nd place htere

Nice cobbled finish.
Too bad only 100 people at the finish line gets to see the action.

There are many problems with the race organization here, but the car in the middle of the finish is down to the comms not doing their job imo.

 

[jens_attacks]

Happy for rein and happy that no one opened the door there.

 

[Dr. Juice]

Not only the amount of race days goes down the toilet but also the organization. Such a great race in the 90's and early 00's

 

[May0maniac]

Great way to start the season for Taaramae.
I've always liked the guy, he and Kangert could be to awesome superdoms/stagehunters.

I think that is a very nice and civil way for him to have a "dig" at the organizers. Very nice wording.
