On the third day, a hilly and almost mountainous course which saw an exhibition from Cancellara escaping from the control of Sky and Movistar, Enric kept up with the pace and was only dropped in the final hill. This was great for a young'un on his second day of racing with the pros.<br />PD Kudos to Tao, too. Made it to the 20-men front group in a very hard and hectic day of racing. Seeing him mixed with Valverde, Kwiatkowski, Terpstra, Stybar et al, all of the members of said group being WTs but a couple of Bora and a couple of Caja Rural, gave a clear idea of how much talent he has.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178768417194219624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110439682106915069.post-42362834215540215272016-02-03T03:19:40.055-05:002016-02-03T03:19:40.055-05:00Two notes from Challenge de Mallorca:
- Xavi Cañel...Two notes from Challenge de Mallorca:<br />- Xavi Cañellas, European champion on the track as a Junior and first year u23, took part on the race with the Spanish Track National Team, therefore making his debut in the pro ranks before even having raced a single day as a u23. He was lined up in the first and the last days of racing, the flattest ones. In the first, he attacked with 20km to go and rode solo before the peloton for 10 minutes. In the last, he got in the mix during a 5km climb with an hour of racing to go or so. Unfortunately, he suffered a mechanical and hit his right knee with the handlebar, which provoked him to finish in bad fashion. Anyway, those were two impressive performances. This season, Cañellas is intended to follow an intense track program and to compete in some amateur races with Caja Rural's feeder team.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178768417194219624noreply@blogger.com
