Hello. So desperate for action!

Taaramae or Malacarne for me!
Have you seen incidentally that there’s a Capecchi to Sky rumour?

Baha, now I feel mean for what i said earlier

He really is the new Freire -

I wondered why I discounted JJ for today...
And then realised that I’d looked at a different stage profile :( I am with it….or…err…not!

Regarding the win today, Rojas says...
“This is my first win of the season and its a great joy because this year I’ve been collecting results of second, third, fourth and fifth but until today there was no win. From now on I will be much calmer.
Today I felt good and had told my team that I wanted to make the sprint so we controlled a stage has been very fast. I think we did the first hour and a half at fifty (km/h). Several attacks occurred at the end of the stage, but luckily we got it back together. I made my sprint well. I was placed on the wheel of Van Avermaet and enjoyed it quite easily. I hope that this success will be the first of a good run!"
So do I JJ :)
