WITH 7 O CLOCK IT WAS ALREADY A BIT LATE TO START...AND AS SOON AS THE ROADS BEND MORE AND MORE TOWARDS THE SKY, I REALIZED I WOULS BE FAR FAR SLOWER THAN I FIRST THOUGHT (I COULD DEFINETLY NOT MAINTAIN 25KM/H IT WAS RATHER LESS THAN 20KM/H THIS ALSO MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MAKE IT PAST BANDUNG(ANOTHER BIG BUSY CITY). AND I UNFORTINOTLY MISSED THE HOMESTAY AT IMAS PARENTS (MATTS WIFE). AND I ENDED UP IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOTEL ON THE TRIP...CAUSE 2WERE ALREDY FULL AND IT GOT DARK AND I WAS EXAUSTED AFTER ABOUT 11H OUT ON THE BIKE... TOUGH FIRST DAY...AND MUCH MORE ADVENTURE YET TO COME...LATER MORE ARE YOU INTERESSTED???

Stage 7: Murcia - Orihuela 187.1km

2010-09-03T23:32:00.000-07:00

Dominink rides in break for second time, and Robert Förster (Ger, Team Milram) gets Top 10 for forth time in this Vuelta.

Alessandro Petacchi (Ita) Lampre-Farnese Vini wins the stage. Robert Förster (Ger, Team Milram)gets seventh, Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Omega Pharma-Lotto still lead the GC (5 days now). Dominik rode in the break with 3 other riders, from early in the race and at one point the gap was up to 10:27. On the only categorized climb for the day, Puerto de Hondón de los Frailes, Dominik punctured and had to work his way back to the 3 other riders. As the break was descending after the climb, the gap was down to 4:00 (about 23 km to go). The break was caught five kilometers before the finish. Dominik is racing this Vuelta with the same gusto he did last year, and last year on stage 15 he got third place. It's only a matter of time before someone on Team Milram wins a stage (hopefully Dom :-)) or gets on the podium. They are definitely showing they want it bad.

Saturday's mountainous stage 8, is 189 kilometers long, and has 3450 m of ascending. There are 5 catagorized climbs and a mountain top finnish:

Km 18 - Puerto de Onil - 6,4 km at 5% - Category 3
Km 89,5 - Puerto de Tudons - 6,9 km at 4,78% - Category 2
Km 115,2 - Puerto de Torremanzanas - 8,3 km at 5,3% - Category 2
Km 141,7 - Puerto de la Carrasqueta - 11,0 km at 4,77% - Category 2
Km 186,8 - Alto Xorret del Catí 3,8 km at 11,56% (max 22%) - Category 1

It will be another exciting and grueling day of racing with many changes to the GC. It took a lot of guts (or as the Finns say, sisu), for Dominik to go in the break today, knowing the first mountainous stage is the day after. That finishing climb tomorrow will dig deep into Dom's legs after todays effort. Good luck to Dom and Team Milram.

2010-08-04T22:14:00.000-07:00

Roy Sentjens and Paul Voß (Team Milram) moved into the top ten in the overall classification by placing 13th and 28th respectively, four seconds behind stage winner Mirco Lorenzetto (Ita) of Lampre-Farnese Vini.

Tomorrow's 149.0 km stage 5 will definitely bring out who will be in contention to win the Tour of Pologne. Check out the very lumpy profile here. There is a 17.2 km circuit, that has a 9.8 km, 3.3% ascent. Not very steep, but sure to become tiring at the very fast speeds they will be climbing. After completing the circuits the stage finished with a 12.4 km climb of 3.7%. The final 4.5 kilometers is 7.0% grade, and becomes lest steep over the last kilometer (5.8%). It will probably take the lead riders about 17 to 22 minutes to finish the last 4.5 kilometers of the stage, so it it will be a lung busting finish for all in contention.

Stage 3: Sosnowiec - Katowice 122.1km

2010-08-03T22:02:00.000-07:00

Yauheni Hutarovich from Francaise des Jeux won stage 3 of the Tour de Pologne, in what was a very fast finish. Milram's sprinter Robert Förster got pinched into the barriers and was unable to move into a good position yet finished 8th. Dominik finished in the main field.

Tomorrow's 177.9 km stage slowly climbs over the first 80 km and then over next 52 km there are three climbs: 10 km at about 3.5% grade, followed by 6 km climb, and then another 10 km climb at about 3.5%. Then the course descends fast over the next 10 km and continues slowly descending over the the next 20 km on the way in the the final 6.8 km circuit (3x) in Cieszyn. The final kilometer rises with average of a 2% grade. There a easy right hand turn just before last kilometer, followed by another sharp right and turn at about 400 m to go and then a sharp left hand turn with about 75 m to go. There is a good chance tomorrow will finish with a breakaway so it will be the rider that still has the legs to do a double kick sprint that will take the win.

2010-05-14T00:34:00.000-07:00

Guten Morgen,
Gesten bin ich leider nicht mehr ins Netz gekommen, waren wohl zu viele Leute für eine Leitung...
Ja es war auch ein langer Tag gestern. Mit längeren Tranzfers vor und nach dem Rennen. Nicht nur deswegen sage ich jetzt hat der Giro wirklich begonnen. Das Teamzeitfahren war ja wie ein Prolog für den Start in Italien.
Ja gesten habe ich am anfang geschaut, dass wir einen Fahrer in der Gruppe haben. Eine Gruppe wo ich drin war habe ich dann auch zerstört weil jemand drin war der schon Berpunkte hatte und so Vossis Trikot gefärtdet hätte. So war vossi am ende wieder mit dabei uund konnte mehr Bergpunkte Sammeln. Das die Gruppe (leider ohne Vossi) am Ende durchkommt hätte ich nicht gedacht, aber die letzten 50 km waren um einiges welliger als im Profiel zu erkennen war.
Ja heute Scheint erst mal die Sonne hoffen wir, dass es möglichstt lange so bleibt...
Die Berge werde am jetzt erst mal immer steiler und länger. Ich hoffe, dass auch meine formkurve jetzt immer steiler nach oben zeigt;)
Also weiter Daumen halten! ;)
Euer Dominik

restday

2010-05-11T09:33:00.000-07:00

So der erste Ruhetag ist schon da und obwohl es nur 2 richtige Etappen bis hierhin waren, waren die Beine heutemorgen beim Aufstehen doch arg schwer. Ist ja aber auch kein Wunder nach der Hammer-Kantenetappe von gestern und danach der recht strapaziösen anreise hier nach Italien. Dieses schon im Artikel beschiebenen Galadinner fand ich persöhnlich gar nicht mehr so schlimm. Wir haben es uns aber auch mit einer (stibitzen) Flasche Wein versüßt. Und ich habe nicht so sehr auf die umstehenden Leute geachtet... aber es hatte schon etwas vom Affenfelsen im Kölner Zoo;)Naja wir konntan dann heute wenigsten ausschlafen und sind dann erst gegen mittag zum Startort des morgigen Zeitfahren gebracht worden um dann die Strecke unter die Räder zu nehmen. Diese ist wirklich unkompliziert (meist geradeaus. Also heißt es morgen Kopf runter und ein möglicht gleichmäßig hohes Tempo hinlegen.Ja morgen geht der der GIRO wirklich D'ITALIA los!!!Also weiter Daumen halten, dass es bei uns gut läuft!Danke Bis späterEuer Dominik

Stage 2: Amsterdam - Utrecht 209km

2010-05-09T11:20:00.000-07:00

Today I write in German, because I do a diary for www.radsport-news.com ,so maybe you speak german or you try the Google translate... (the English to English is not working, so copy and paste the text right into http://translate.google.com/)

Ein herzliches hallo zum Girotagebuch!
Heute bin ich es (der Dominik) obwohl sich eigentlich mein Kollege Vossi sich am heutigen Tag absolut ins Rampenlicht des Giro gefahren hat. Er war es, der das eiogentliche Radrennen mit seiner Attacke nach wenigen Metern eröffnete. Drei weitere Fahrer konnten zu ihm aufschließen und das Feld ließ diese Gruppe gewähren. Da vorne konnte man die wahnsinnihen Meschenmassen wohl noch etwas mehr genießen als bei mir im Feld.
Vorne ging es dann mit dem harten kampf um das Bergtrikot los... Hinten im Feld konnte man sich während der ersten “Halbzeit” der Etappe noch ein wenig entspannen. Man merkt jedoch hier doch das alle nervös sind und die Zweite Hälfte des Rennens spürte man die ganz deutlich uns sah es konkret an den vielen Stürzen.
Noch einmal zum Kampf von Vossi zurückzukommen nach den beiden Bergwertungen (die eher Sprintwertungen ähnlich waren) waren Vossi und ein Fahrer vom Colnago Team von den Punkten her gleichauf. Doch da der Colnago Fahrer(kann duch den Name ersetzt werden) in der Gesamtwertung weiter vorne lag hätte er das Trikot bekommen. Auch bei dem Bonussprint war das nicht mehr zu ändern. Jetzt war nur noch eine Chanche: Der Kampf auf der Windkante. Beide Fahrer kämpften am Ende des Feldes doch Glücklicherweise und mit Hilfe vom Teamkollegen Mathias Russ konnte Vossi seinen Konkurenten abkängen! Und fährt jetzt in GRÜN!
Ich habe mich meinerseits so lange wie möglich daran beteiligt unseren Sprinter “Frösi” in eine gute Position zu bringen. Nach dieser Arbeit bin ich leider auch noch ca. 3km vor dem Ziel von der ersten Gruppe abgeplatzt. Das Feld war durch Stürze schon Stark dezimiert. Ich rollte dann neben Brad Wiggins über die Linie der durch die 35s Rückstand sein rosa Trikot an Evans verlor.
So jetzt hab ich Hunger nach dem ganzen schreiben...
Also drückt uns die Daumen weiter sturzfrei zu bleiben!
Ciao, a dopo
Euer Dominik

Amstel Gold 2010

2010-04-17T08:25:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow Dom is racing Amstel Gold. This past week Dom raced De Brabantse Pijl - La Flèche Brabançonne (Wed, April 14th) GP de Denain (Thur, April 15th). Team Milram worked hard with Rabbobank and Sky to bring the break back in De Brabantse Pijl - La Flèche Brabançonne, but in the end, the at one time over 8 minute gap proved too much to close (Team Milram news). In GP de Danain, a crash in the closing kilometers left teammate Wim Stroetinga with a broken bone in his hand (Team Milram news).

The 45th edition of Amstel Gold covers 258 kilometers including 31 short hill climbs (Map). One of the climbs that summits at 239 kilometers into the race, the Keutenburg, is 700 m long with an average grade of 9.6% and pitches to 20% for a portion of it. In addition to the many climbs and turns throughout the course, the riders must deal with going through narrow roads in neighborhoods with cars still parked on the street.

Teammate Fabian Wegmann is returning to racing after breaking his collerbone (Team Milram news).

Team Milram for Amstel Gold:

Johannes Fröhlinger (GER/Freiburg im Breisgau), Christian Knees (GER/Euskirchen), Dominik Roels (GER/Köln), Roy Sentjens (BEL/Nerpeelt), Niki Terpstra (NED/Krommenie), Paul Voß (GER/Bielefeld), Fabian Wegmann (GER/Freiburg im Breisgau), Peter Wrolich (AUT/Klagenfurt

Another sorry,
On the 3rd stage I didn`t make the timecut... thats of course due to my not perfect form... also the asthma problems of the last weeks added to it. But at least I can say I fought all day (half the stage we were 2 and then 3 riders) and we never put a hand to a car or drafted of of one all daz and we were 3 min late...
Wll now I make another (unplaned) trip to Mallorca where I will train again with Gerd Jan Teunisse and well will also work on my mental strenght....
OK of cause I wish my collegs the best of luck... but they have been doing great already!

OK later more

Stage 3: Las Torres de Cotillas - Alhama de Murcia 166.5km

2010-03-05T18:13:00.000-08:00

Luke Roberts (Milram) wins the queen stage! Making it the second win of the 2010 season for Team Milram. Luke now sits 2nd in the GC, with Thomas Rohregger (Aut) of Team Milram 5th. Team mate Dominik Nerz (Ger) was especially praised by Team Milram Directeur Sportif Ralf Grabsch in his efforts. Now there are 21 riders within 5 seconds of race leader Josep Jufre (Spa) of Astana.

Saturday is stage 4, a 22 km flat and mostly straight time trial (course and profile). Luke and Thomas will need to have a good time trial for either to move into the GC lead tomorrow. I am hoping that Team Milram has a good day tomorrow and that Dominik shows his great time trialing abilities.

Below is the course and profile for stage 3, featuring 2 cat 1 climbs 33 km prior to the finish.

Malle training-race

2010-02-20T13:03:00.000-08:00

Today we did a little 120km race open to all elite riders. So besides some Cervelo GIRLS(seriously) a bunch of A,B,C (1,2,3) riders there were also a bunch of Continental and pro-Conti riders (Skil, Whirlpool, Burgos) and us 5 Milram guys. We would have liked a sprint for Wim (he is really fast) but there was of couse lots of attacking.
So some 30K into the race I found myself in a group of som 25 an Atur Gajek and Dominik Nerz were the last ones to Bridge.
Of course the group was too big so when there was a chance we put a lot of guys in the gutter and were left with 7 (3 of us, Schulz, Glasner, 1 van Vliet, and one Burgos Rider).
Since Schulz (Whirlpool) is a German Sprinter we didn't want to bring him to the line so we Started attacking some 30ks to go and Atur went away with the Burgos rider. Dominik managed to bridge a little later, but 10 to go had a bonk and came back. So I trid to attack for 3rd but wasn't successful so I ended up 5th....
After the Race we rode back to our abartment with nich tailwind...
And now we rewarded ourselves with a nice dinner at an Indian Place (normally we cook ourselves)
So 5 more dayes of training and thant Ill be super fit for the comming season!!!

Stage 2: Gawler - Hahndorf 133.5km

2010-01-20T09:56:00.000-08:00

Dom suffered another mechanical today, putting him out the main bunch. Previous to his mechanical he did make an effort to bridge to the lead group, but was caught.

Milram's Aussie rider Luke Roberts got 8th, and Thomas Rohregger (AUT) Team MILRAM got 12th. Thanks to Robert Förster knowing he would not have it for the sprint finish today and telling Luke to go for sprint finish himself in the closing kilometers (read it in his diary). Andre Greipel (GER) HTC-Columbia took win number two. Greg Henderson (NZl) Team Sky got second and Robbie McEwen (Aus) Katyusha third.

Andre Greipel now has a 14 second lead in the General Classification.

Stage 3 is supposed to be good for breakaway riders, so hopefully Dom's bad luck streak has ended and he can get into a good move.

G'day - Danny

Stage 1: Clare - Tanunda 141km

2010-01-19T13:03:00.000-08:00

As Dom posted he had a mechanical that contributed to him getting last on stage 1. Thomas Rohregger attacked late in the race and was solo for a while and was caught with a little less than 10 km to go. The climb up Menglers Hill proved to hard today for Milram sprinter Robert Förster.

HTC-Columbia's Andre Greipel (Ger) won the bunch sprint.

I hope Dom has better luck today!

Short Note

2010-01-19T02:07:00.000-08:00

I got last today, but mostly because I had a mechanical just before the last climb...and since I knew that it wouldn't make much difference I did't give it all to catch back the "gruppetto".
Now I have enough time so maybee that helps me when I'm in a break...
OK
Later More
Cheers and no worrys

Cancer Council Helpline Classic: Rymill Park 51km

2010-01-17T10:32:00.000-08:00

Talked to Dom last night after the race. He was not happy that things did not work out in the finale for Team Milram. Milram worked well as a team with Rabbobank to bring the 5 man break back that included Lance Armstrong (Radio Shack) and Oscar Pereiro (Astana). In the end it was Team Sky that dominated the final 2 laps to take the win. Even though he was not happy with the team's results, he says his fitness is good for this time of year.

Last time from Spain

2009-09-20T01:07:00.000-07:00

So I'm almost there. And really this first grand Tour went really better than I expacted... almost perfekt.
The TT yesterday was definatly a good final success for myself. Today I hope there will be no more crashes (at least not for me) cause I don't what to fly home like a 'Wiener Schnitzel'... But if theres a Sprint I will probably try to get a good position (best behind Greipel) and maje another good placement.
Jep so far. I hope everyone enjoyed following me and my notes...
I will continue racing until October 17th (Giro del Lombardia).
More later
Adios From Spain...last time this year

Schwer, hard, dur, dura....

2009-09-17T10:21:00.000-07:00

was it today... my fingers are still a bit handicaped (I'm typing real slow). Well it was a cold wet and windy stage today.
I tryed to be in the group in the beginning (first time in the vuelta I was the one starting to sprint at km 0...) but they didn't let me go and my legs also didnÄt feel so good (after this first attack) well and it took about till the middle of the cat 1 climb till some(very strong riders) went away. I found myself in a very Big group and we roled together with the rest in the front shortly. After that it was always quite fast and one really steep climp... but my legs were better and so I reached the finishline close to the peloton.
So tomorrow one more time 'in die Fresse hauen' (*punching in my mouth) how we call it when we suffer. And then I will go all out at the TT and then the roll out in Madrid. Unluckily we lost Gerald today and so we won't have to work for any more Sprints...
OK later bye

Stage 17: Ciudad Real - Talavera de la Reina 193.6km

2009-09-16T22:14:00.000-07:00

Anthony Roux (FRA) Francaise des Jeux wins from a 5 man break, despite the hard efforts of the sprinters chasing teams. Team Milram was out in force (Along with Columbia-HTC, Liquigas) working to bring the break back. You could definitely see how hard the effort was in all the riders faces. It seemed like they were going to catch the break... the gap was closing rapidly in the closing kilometers:

8 km - 60+ sec
7 km - 43 sec
4 km - 29 sec
3 km -
2 km - 17 sec
1 km -

Just after 2 km to go you could see the break away riders coming out of a almost 180 degree corner, while the peloton was about to enter it.

It was a dramatic finale.

Matthias Ruß did the work along with riders from Liquigas and Columbia-HTC reeling in the solo rider Jesús Rosendo (Andalucía-Cajasur). A crash 3 km to go hampered Team Milram's ability to complete their support of Gerald Ciolek. Gerald ended up 4th, with André Greipel (Ger) Columbia-HTC taking another stage win.

Thanks for Support Danke an meine Fans;))

2009-09-14T11:13:00.000-07:00

So es hat geklappt
Today it worked
I was in the right group and gave it all on the last climb!
The group for 3rd almost dropped but I digged soooooooo deep and got back just in time to launch my attack in the decent...well I just let it roelsing crazy (14%) but from the lap before I remembered all the turns....
Also wenn jemand auch mehr deutsch lesen will sagt mal bescheid.... aber ich denk my German homies get all my English slang...
ALSO BIS SPÄDER
THE DOMINATOR ;))))))

Dom gets 3rd in 15th Stage of La Vuelta

2009-09-14T10:25:00.000-07:00

Stage 15: Jaén - Córdoba 167.7km

Dom got into the winning 13 man break today with team mate Martin Velits. Dom was riding well within the break and was first to follow Columbia-HTC rider, Vicente Reynes (Spa) attack. Lars Boom (Ned) Rabobank and Serafín Martínez (Spa) Xacobeo Galicia joined the lead group. With about 23 km to go Martinez attacks, dropping the Columbia rider with Lars Boom and Dominik sticking. With 22.6 km to go Lars Boom picks up the pace on the San Jerónimo ascent and Dom was unable to match the pace, but kept going strong. At 22.2 km to go Martinez was no longer able to hang on to Lars Boom's wheel. Lars Boom continued his hard effort and quickly built 30 second gap. Dom and Martinez went back to the group. Somewhere in the next kilometers David Herrero (Spa) Xacobeo Galicia attacked (I was too excited about Dom and missed when this happened). Lars Boom continued to ride into the win while David Herrero got 2nd. Dom attacked somewhere, but it was not on video, built a gap again and got third. Team mate Martin Velits almost took the small group sprint but took 7th.

Great Day for Team Milram. A spectacular day for Dom.

Christian Knees (Ger) Milram rides in 9 man break and finishes 12th. Damiano Cunego (Ita) Lampre-NGC takes a second stage win. Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne struggles in the steep closing km's, but comes back as the climb becomes less steep.

Seven more days of racing and Dom will have completed his first grand tour. It will be exciting if Dom can get in some more breaks before this tour finishes in Madrid this coming Sunday.

I keep on Roelsing....;)

2009-09-12T14:37:00.000-07:00

So my dear Friends und liebe Leute!
Well, I'm two weeks into the Vuelta. Never raced that long so far. But as I imagined thats the style of racing I like. I really don't feel too exausted even aver the two hard mountain-stagens.
Well and in the next few stages I'm really motivated to attack and try to be in a group...
Therefore I need to recover properly.... So I'd better go to sleep now...
Later
Dom
P.S. I'm always happy to get mails or facebook massages...

Due to difficulties from injuries incurred during the large crash of stage 4, Thomas Rohregger withdrew from La Vuelta (Milram report).

Linus Gerdemann rode within the largest break of the tour so far (19 riders), and was having a great race, and it was looking likely for another win for Team Milram, until he punctured (read Milram's report here).

It was an exciting finish, to bad Linus was unable to give it a go.

Stage 9: Alcoy to Xorret de Cati

2009-09-07T10:40:00.000-07:00

Today's stage contained two category three climbs, three cat two climbs, and finished with a category one climb. The final climb, Alto Xorret del Catí, was 5 km long starting with about an average gradient of 5-6% and rising to a punishing 19-20% grade, and then plummeting 3 km to the finish. Just riding up 19 to 20% climb with fresh legs is a killer, let alone after about 175 km of racing.

From the long breakaway, Gustavo César Veloso (Spa) Xacobeo Galicia survived the Alto Xorret del Catí and took the stage win and with Marco Marzano (Ita) Lampre-NGC taking second. From the chasing CG group Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne took third with the time bonus and took GC lead from Cadel Evans (Aus) Silence-Lotto.

A good day with two crashes

2009-09-02T02:53:00.000-07:00

It wasen't really planed... But after some 10-15 K of attacking I found myself in a 4 man group. And for sure it wasn't a bad move. Cause some 40K into the race it started raining. So it was much less stress riding in a break cause there were lots of turns and small roads.
Well but one of te riders from the break (Lagutin) slipped (cause he had no Conti tires) and took me down but not bad...And when i got cought on the last little climb 15 to go I managed to stay in the Pack and tried to help Björn Schröder for the Sprint... cause Gerry Ciolek had already crashed earlier...
Well and than I was (as Björn) in the Big chrash at 2,5 to go but bisides a usual hip-rash of about 2 by 2 inches I have nothing....
So I'll keep on ROELSing ;)))
And today relaxing... the bikes are still on the road but in 2 or 3 hours they will be here and we go for a little spin

Dom rides in break again!

2009-09-01T14:52:00.000-07:00

I did not get to watch the race yet today. But after reading the reports, I can't wait to. Dom rode in the break again today and did not get caught till 15 km to go. Unfortunately there was a crash a little under 3 km to go, which affected many in the race, most notably Gerald Ciolek was unable to contest the field sprint. Fortunately Linus Gerdemann and Thomas Rohregger were able to move up in the general classification. Dominik now leader of the combination classification.

Tomorrow is a rest day, with the racing resuming in Tarragona on Thursday.

Stage Win in Emmen for Team Milram!

2009-08-30T13:40:00.000-07:00

What an awesome day for Dominik, Gerald, and Team Milram!

Dom went from the gun and immediately a 5 man group formed. He was mentioned numerous times during the coverage by Universal Sports (watch the stage online if you missed it at universalsports.com). The break was caught with ~21 km to go (~150 km breakaway), with the peloton finally catching Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil) as they entered Emmen. Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil) was riding in the break in honor of his father who had just passed during the week prior to the start of La Vuelta.

Columbia, Garmin-Slipstream and Quickstep worked to set up their sprinters in the closing kilometers. While Gerald smartly held about 10th position as the leadout riders labored at the front along the right side of the road. Gerald was the first rider to began his sprint with his signature head-bob coming from the left side of the field, and as he took the front, the other sprinters moved around to where Gerald was now at the center of the field. Fabio Sabatini (Liquigas, former Milram rider) and Roger Hammond (Cervelo TestTeam)worked hard to surpass Gerald Ciolack, but Gerald proved to be man of the hour today.

Way to go! Gerald, Dom, and Team Milram!

Bike route 295218 - powered by Bikemap

Dom said tomorrow's stage will be a windy and difficult. Gerald Ciolek (GER) of Team Milram will likely be giving it a go tomorrow. Tom Boonen and Tyler Farrar's strong finish today indicate they have arrived at La Vuelta with good form. Gerald Ciolek also has recently finished third place in Vattenfall Cyclassics, just behind Tyler Farrar, who had won the race. So tomorrow's finish should be exciting.
