3 David Blanco

Portuguese Sky

Just came back from watching the Cyclassics. I was right at the Waseberg. There were rather few people (well, a couple of hundreds, but it still wasn't "stuffed", but great atmosphere and it was fantastic to watch the riders passing by half a meter in front of you. The heat was insane (37 degrees) and it was extremely humid, I was sweating without even moving. I cannot tell how much I admire the rider's performances, and you could tell how hard some riders had to suffer in those very steep parts after 5 and a half hours in that weather.

I'm currently uploading a couple of photos I took. They're not quite SportingNonsense style () since I took them with my mobile, but maybe they're nice to watch for some of you. I'll post them later.

As said before, I'll give you some photos I took from the sprint of the Dutch Food alley Classic from last Friday. I used my wifes camera (Sony NEX-5) and it was the first time ever I took some action photos with it. Hope you'll like them a bit!! These photos are of about 75-100m before the finish.

Mooie foto's hoor.

Didn't see Vattenfall. Great win for Demare. What happened to Kittel?

Alright so here are the photos (Album). It's a raw screening, some of them are pretty blurred, but some are also quite good.

Those are some pretty good photos for being taken with a mobile.

Nice Job!

3. David Blanco (Efapel - Glassdrive/ESP) 03"

A brazilian beating Hutarovich? How did he won? I know Andriato is a good sprinter, but beating Hutarovich? He must have evolved a lot.

Any idea who's leading the points in the Volta a Portugal?

@miguel
It was a group sprint. About 22 riders were in the same time. Don't know the details.

Hugo Sabido is currently leading the points classification with 44 points. Reinardt Janse Van Rensburg is second with 40 points. Jay Thomson 3rd with 32 points.

Sabido is also leading the GC in front of 4! Efapel - Glassdrive riders. (Fonte @8", Rui Sousa @41", Sergio Ribeiro @44" and David Blanco @47"

Thomson is leading the mountains classification and David De la Cruz (Caja Rural is the best young rider.

Thanks
Everybody chill! Reinhardt has got this
Did anybody see his massive sprint on stage 2 or 3 I think?

Andriato, Nice! If Funvic - Pinda can't get anything better than 21st in the Volta a Portugal (Magno Nazaret in prologue), at least another Brazilian makes some headlines in Europe

Actually, not only in Europe, just seen an article of 3 lines about his win in a (non-specific) news site here

Great victory for Demare. EBH did quite well getting 5th in his first race back.

It was also nice too see Geraint Thomas back again. Just love the guy soo much

Great stage in Portugal for Efapel

Great win for Demare, was abt shocked when I read he won tbh, thought Kittel or EBH would win easy.
Also a massive win for FDJ, should keep their WT license with that.

Yeah totally agree a nice win for Demare indeed

There were a couple of speed bumps that Kittel just couldn't climb over.
