Nairo Quintana - 2016
Jakstar22
Volta Ciclista a Catalunya


Stage 5


i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/StageProfile_zps89dc8a8f.png


Today is the 5th stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. It is a flat stage so I need to rest up and stay out of trouble. Rojas is going for the win today which will be his 2nd stage win if he gets it.

The Race


Lastras attacks instantly to get the mountain points. This guy just keeps on attacking!

Lastras won the first intermediate sprint. Ahead of Grivko and Stybar

With 100km to go the leading 6 have 6.33 on the peloton.

Lastras took the mountain points in a sprint against Roy. The gap between the peloton and the breakaway is 8.13.

With 24km to go the peloton is closing the gap quickly. It is down to 5.29. Will it be enough?

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC4_zps4c7ed2b3.png


And its Stybar who takes the win! 2Nd goes to Chainel and 3rd to Lastras

Rojas lead the peloton home in 7th place.

Another solid ride from Pablo and the boys, hope Nairo's legs are ready for a few more attacks on GC tomorrow!

Stage 6


i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/StageProfile_zps2628d24a.png


The 6th stage is a hilly/mountain stage. I really can't lose time. I need to be able to beat the people in front of me on GC that aren't as good at hills. Wish me luck.

The Race


The first attack came from Rojas. He wants the sprint points to claim back the jersey.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC1_zpsca8b2ec4.png


Rojas took the sprint points at the 1st intermediate sprint point

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC2_zps1aeb685d.png


Rojas takes the 2nd intermediate sprint point.

Rojas went over the top of the mountain in 1st ahead of Fraile and Chaves.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC3_zps478b183d.png


Once again Rojas takes the points in the 3rd intermediate sprint point. The gap to the peloton is 6.26.

And its Chaves who takes the win ahead of Jungels and Ten Dam.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC4_zpsb3401ed1.png


I finished in the favourites group.

I am happy with today. Rojas narrowly missed out on a podium but he did get back the sprint jersey. I also moved back up to 5th overall. I am happy with how today went. Hopefully tomorrow I can do better and move up even more.

Seeya then

Stage 7


i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/StageProfile_zpsc0553e3d.png


The last stage is a short hilly stage. A lot of short hills near the end. Perfect for a rider like Simon Gerrans.

The Race


Rojas and myself attacked with 22km to go.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/VCC1_zps70f6a838.png


The win goes to Tony Martin

5th overall is still a fantastic result. I am really happy with how I went in this race.. The team did well too with 1 win and a lot of podiums and top 10s. I hope to continue this form into my next race.

The first of the 3 Ardennes classics are here. Valverde is our leader and I am the secondary leader. We will be trying to take the win today but a top 3 is the goal.

The Race


Sano was the first rider to attack today.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/AGR1_zps8fec509e.png


With 200km to go the breakaway had over 5 minutes.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/AGR2_zps5efaacec.png


With 12km to go Gilbert was in front. 1.09 behind was Dan Martin.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/AGR3_zps6db87b33.png


With 1.5km to go it became clear that Gilbert would win.

Behind a group of 3 including Gerrans, Betancur and Rodriguez would sprint for 2nd.

i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab227/MrLove222/AGR4_zps86452540.png


Gilbert took the win!
