Tour de San Luis

Today we're going a bit higher,1st hilly stage of Tour de San Luis!
Fastly after starting these stage,Kwiatowski,Hugo Pena and Bertazzo started a breakaway.
On first mountain (1) checkpoint Bertazzo was the best in fron ot Kwiatowski (2.) and Hugo Pena (3.)
In 10 kilometers,2 more riders attacked,they was Locatelli and Dockx and breakaway got 5 minutes in front of peleton
On 2nd mountain checkpoint (3) Kwiatowski was the fastest,in front of Bertazzo and Hugo Pena
Peloton started to accelerate and 10 kms till the gap difference was only 15 seconds

There were many attacks but peloton caught them and this stage finished by mass sprint.
Unfortunately for us Grega Bole had power but he was at the end of peloton,same as Bozic,so Spilak was our 1st choise.
Spilak was fighting for good positions but guys on right side got it and started sprint first,it was very nice sprint betweeen two Portugal riders (Sergio Paulinho and Thiago Machado),where Machado won at the end!

Spilak in best position now.
That Points Jersey should be an objective!

Tour de San Luis

A 7 riders breakaway decided to try something in attack,so they got off!
Meanwhile at the peloton,only Astana was trying to catch attack and that was going pretty bad! At 10km till the end 2 riders from breakaway decided that is time to go further,so they started new attack
2 more riders saw that it is enough and joined them
About 5 kms to the gap E1 had about 20 seconds of advantage,it became very interesting etape!

Group caught them at 1.5 km to go,just right in time when sprint started.Sergio Paulinho was the best in this hilly sprint and he got a victory!

Tour de San Luis

Because it was a bit hilly (but still flat) stage,some good puncheurs and climers decided to set off,one of them was our rider Jure Golcer!

After only 1 km riding in group Kenovalovas decided to attack again,he was aiming for Mountain checkpoint!

But,50 meters before checkpoint Van de Walle and Golcer got him


Golcer attacked and won Mountain sprint (1)


After numberous attacks,peloton caught them right at 20km banner


Nothing changed for whole 10 kms


Then,Quick-Step rider Kevin de Weert attacked!


Aaand,his attack was successful,he won a stage

Bozics sprint was amazing and he took 4th position,now he is only 1 point behind Points jersey leader Paulinho,same number of points Poulhies has (He is a class sprinter),it will be so interesting at the last stage.

Tour de San Luis

What a sunny,perfect day for last day of Tour de San Luis!

A little,5 riders group gone in breakaway,there were some old names as Locatelli...


Mountain sprint passes quietly,without attacks


20kms to go,still nothing,3 minutes in front of peloton,breakaway is riding fastly!


At 10 km to go,peloton caught them but,they didnt give up!



At 5 kms to go,Bozic was on Poulhies tire,Rabobank made a nice train for Bos,Bozic finished as 7th,Poulhies as 6th,Bos won!
