Pablo on the attack in Tirreno

The Tirreno-Adriatico got underway today, and, unlike in Paris-Nice, the Euskaltel boys were on the attack. After Grabovskyy, the lone breakaway rider, had been reeled in, Pablo let fly with an attack 12 kilometres out. Strong-man Niki Terpstra from Milram bridged up but, despite the pair working well together, they were reeled in 5 clicks later. Rubén tried his best in the sprint and came home 15th. All the other riders came in with the main pack as well.
