Naturgas didn't have the best of luck over the weekend either. The red brigade got two men - Alain González and Loic Chetôut - into an early move in yesterday's race in Estella, but they were reeled in rather quickly and a new big group formed at the front with no Naturgas riders in it. Naturgas were left with the responsibility in the pack but ended up doing a lot of work for nothing. On the up-side, though, González took out the intermediate sprints jersey. In other Naturgas-related news, the Euskadi ITT championships is coming up. To prepare for the rendezvous, Grijalba, Merino, Chetôut, Carazo, Baudron and González held a training session together around the Orduna climb yesterday. Merino, an expert against the clock, will be aiming to take the crown for sure.
I really hope that Anton just chilled today so that he can go on the attack tomorrow for another stage win!!! Or did he crash or something? Anyone else know?
ReplyDeleteHe said he didn't feel too good, a crash ahead of him hampered him, and he decided to take it easy on the last climb to preserve some strength for today. Too bad it didn't work out!
