Summary
A very good Veulta a Mallorca for our team, we won the leader's jersey, points jersey with Gilbert and team classification as a bonus.Edited by Ste117 on 30-10-2010 17:52
I will no longer be showing Conti races, I will show the results of the race my team participate in, but from now on I will only show Pro Tour races in detail. This is because I don't have the time with college coming in and would like this story to progress alot quicker. Next race will be Paris- Nice.
