Talossan Cycling Association Tour Season 5 Leg 3: Monaco -> Granada

[Glüc]

Stage 11   »   Cartagena  ›  Lorca

As predicted, today ended in a bunch sprint. Brennan (GHS/BDC/MAN) won his third stage. Van Aert (CHX/CJO) continued to 5th place after his leadout. Albanese (CJO/DED), Elosegui (VFL), Alleno (DED) and Porter (PTM) all finished much further back, scoring limited points. A fairly low scoring stage where BdC got the most points.

I don't know if we've ever seen a +0 on the board. If we did it would likely have been in some first week (team) time trial stage.

Tomorrow should be more interesting, as we get a mountain stage with an uphill finish that should suit climbers. It could be a good opportunity for a break, but I also expect to see some timegaps among the GC contenders.

Welp, there go my good feelings about this leg of Season 5 for the Posse. It was nice while it lasted though.
