Bang.... Long race. Short climb. Short man wins.

 

- Valverde

- Martin

- Kwaitkowski

 

Philbert came in 10th.

 

In other news Cuddles has been quietly getting in form for the Giro by taking the lead in the other Giro.

That Mur is one tricky climb

Timing is everything.

 

Good for Valverde - his biggest in a while.

Nice pic from Gummy of the two Colombian lads I've got a particular interest in this year.

 

What a thing it would be to see those two dicing for the win at LBL this weekend. That would certainly make my day.

Saw one of them up there in the final selection up the Mur de Huy.

Looking good for the future.

Just watched the last 8km, Valverde launched his attack at the perfect spot, thats experience for you. Think Kwitiakowski was probably the strongest, but inexperienced.
