'Dale Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 “I was the first to sign on and so I hope to be first to reach the finish...The climb to the finish isn’t that hard but I’m sure someone will ride it hard, test their legs and see what happens. We want to be up there with the GC guys and not lose time. That’s the most important thing.” Big Smile Chaves
Bonus Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Spanish TV coverage has started early today :-) 12 degrees at the finish with a 24km/h wind! Spectators are wrapped up in dry-macs huddling cups of coffee!
