The Team

Stage 1


i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/StageProfile_zpsbe53fa77.png


A flat stage with a few hills throughout the race. Should end in a bunch sprint.

The Race


Herrada and Romero were the first attackers of the stage.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC1_zpsd066439f.png


Herrada wins the 2nd mountain sprint ahead of compatriot Puccio. Still a long way left to race.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC2_zps297f592b.png


With 100km to go the leading 2 have 6.47 on the peloton. However there are 2 riders in the middle. Gerrans is 3.09 behind the leading 2 and Lastras is 4.15 behind.

With 50km to go all the groups form into 1 group of 4 at the front. They have 3.13 on the peloton.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC3_zps8196d3b2.png


With 16km to go I decided to attack and try and catch Gerrans out front.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC4_zpsb27884eb.png


With 4 km to go Gutierrez attacks and catches everyone of guard. Can he hold on?

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC5_zps064f6689.png


Gutierrez could not hold on but the win goes to JJ Rojas!

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC6_zps03b09fc3.png


Gutierrez held on for 2nd and 3rd went to Greg Van Avermaet.

Stage 2


i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/StageProfile_zps84b3c4f8.png


The 2nd stage is a flat stage. Today we want to keep the leaders jersey on the back of Rojas.

The Race


With 128km to go Lastras tried to attack to get into the breakaway.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC1_zpse9a0991f.png


In the 1st intermediate sprint Lastras was leading heading toward the line with Delaplace in 2nd and Lund 3rd.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC2_zps0593becc.png


Lastras takes the win in the 2nd intermediate sprint as well. 2Nd was Delaplace and 3rd Lund.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC3_zps401147fb.png


The gap is down to 2.36 with 37km to go.

Lastras was the last breakaway rider caught with 8km to go.

Again with 5km to go Gutierrez attacks. He wants a win!

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC4_zpsebabf384.png


And its Fernandez who takes the win! He started his sprint early, passed Gutierrez and takes a great win!

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC5_zps0995d418.png


Rojas takes a great 2nd place and 3rd goes to Lloyd Mondory.

Sanchez attacked and I tried to follow but couldn't quite get there.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC5_zpsf0fbb733.png

I really struggled today. Yesterday's effort really took its toll. Tomorrow is a flat day so I can recover. I am still 6th overall which is good so I need to rest up and get time back in the hilly races.

Seeya soon
