Twintig jaar geleden: Victor Hugo Pena is de eerste Colombiaan in de gele trui

Het is vandaag twintig jaar geleden dat Victor Hugo Pena, ploegmaat van Lance Armstrong bij US Postal,  de eerste Colombiaan werd die de gele trui mocht omgorden. Na de ploegentijdrit, die door US Postal Service gewonnen werd, was hij de hoogst geklasseerde renner en zodoende mocht hij de trui aantrekken. Hij behield het geel drie dagen.

Some thoughts on 2023 to date

Its been a pretty exciting start to 2023 from a pro cycling perspective. The World Cyclo Cross Championships were, as previously posted, some of the best races I have seen. And I started watching the sport during the 1987 Tour de France. We had the Australian races, which for once I had more than a passing interest in tuning in for, before this block of Spanish racing to get us properly up and…

Round Two, Match Seven: Jonas Vingegaard v. Marc Soler

Jonas Vingegaard Propaganda

No propaganda submitted.

Marc Soler Propaganda

He may be ranked #130 in the UCI rankings but he is #1 in my heart ❤️

More propaganda under the cut.

As you may know, Marc Soler moved to UAE Team Emirates in 2022 and has since been one of Tadej Pogačar's most valuable mountain domestiques – pulling the peloton for kilometres on end, being there in the final group before Tadej and Jonas start attacking each other. Then there's stage 17 this year; his infamous ‘scary eyes’ and comforting hand, pulling his leader up the Col de la Loze and helping maintain his podium place.

However! There is much more to Marc Soler than that! Before 2022, his entire professional career was spent with Movistar – that blue-clad stalwart of Spanish cycling hopes. With them, he was again an invaluable domestique to the likes of Enric Mas, Alejandro Valverde, Nairo Quintana, and Richard Carapaz. In the intra-team ~drama~ that plagued Movistar’s 2019/2020 seasons, he remained if not neutral, but relatively uninvolved. This is well-documented in their documentary ‘Movistar: The Least Expected Day’, the series that first endeared him to me.

In 2018, he had his day as a GC challenger – a week, really, swooping to victory at Paris-Nice to take the overall win with a fantastic attack on the final stage to make up more than a minute on Simon Yates

Now let me discuss stage 5 of the Vuelta 2022: Marc’s second stage win at this race – the first being in 2020. There was a battle for the breakaway, and Marc missed out! Never fear – the intrepid Spaniard did what he does best; launch a seemingly futile attempt to bridge, riding solo or in a small group for 50km+ that never really gets anywhere. Not today, though! He joined them, when Stewart attacked he countered brilliantly and rode solo for the final 15km. Brilliant stuff. This won him the stage, the combativity award, and later actions brought him the overall super-combative award, all while supporting Juan Ayuso to the podium.

Oh yeah, did I mention the mullet?? And the earring??

Outside of racing, he comes across as a genuinely nice guy – though I have yet to come across an interview in English, translations of Spanish-language seem cheerful and respectful, having fun in UAE’s social media videos!

He recovered brilliantly from having to abandon in both the Giro and the Tour in 2021 – breaking both of his arms in a crash in the latter, yet soldiering on and completing the stage.

Soler in his natural habitats; pulling the peloton up some steep, steep slopes, or breaking away for a hail-Mary attack that’s seemingly done only for the sheer joy of doing so. He’s a valuable domestique, brilliant rider, and most certainly embodies the spirit of ciclismo!

Thus concludes my Soler propaganda.

Vamos, Marc!

Australias Ben OConnor keeps Vuelta a España leaders red jersey after stage seven

Australia’s Ben O’Connor has savoured his first “super easy” day as a Grand Tour race leader, losing only six seconds of his advantage in stage seven of the Vuelta a España. O’Connor and countryman Jack Haig were among the leading pack at the conclusion of the 180.5-kilometre stage from Archidona to Córdoba, with Belgian Wout van Aert coming out on top in a sprint finish. Aussie O’Connor wins Vuelta stage six Australian Ben O’Connor claims the overall lead in the Vuelta a España after completing his collection of stage victories in all three of cycling’s Grand Tours. O’Connor, riding for Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale, lost only six bonus seconds to his nearest rival Primož Roglič, who won an intermediate mountain sprint. “It was a super easy day until the finale, which was explosive,” O’Connor said after the stage. “I wasn’t surprised Primož went for the bonus, but it wasn’t a crazy, explosive attack on the climb, so I was pretty comfortable at how I felt today and happy with the way it turned out. “I guess every single little bit [of time won back] counts [for Roglič] and I can’t really do much against Primož’s strength for the bonuses. “But you have to take a lot of bonuses to make up that amount of time. All in all, a good day.” O’Connor said wearing the leader’s red jersey felt like “the biggest reward in my career”. “It feels good and it looks good as well, so hopefully I can wear it for quite a few days to come,” he said before the start of stage seven. Fellow Australian Kaden Groves, winner of stage two, crashed 25km from the finish after clipping Nairo Quintana’s back wheel. Groves (17 points) sits in second place in the points classification, with Spain’s Xabier Isasa (20 points) on top. AAP/ABC Source link via The Novum Times

Nairo Quintana regresa a la Vuelta a Italia después de más de un año

La Vuelta a Italia le resulta muy familiar a Nairo Quintana, que ya ha ganado el campeonato absoluto en el pasado. Los ojos de Nairo Quintana se llenaron de lágrimas en su regreso a la Vuelta a Italia después de más de un año. La equipacion ciclismo rosa hizo que Nairo Quintana se sintiera familiar, ya en la primera etapa.

Más de un año puede arruinar a un ciclista profesional, y la ausencia de Nairo Quintana pasó desapercibida para los medios. Sufrió el mayor punto bajo de su carrera y todo lo que hizo fue ignorado por el mundo exterior. Medios y aficionados han olvidado que Nairo Quintana ganó la Vuelta a Italia y la Vuelta a España, y también olvidaron su espíritu de lucha para ganar la etapa del Tour de Francia. Él es simplemente un conductor de Colombia y es un conductor profesional que comete errores. Nairo Quintana no dio muchas explicaciones en más de un año y tuvo más tiempo para pensar en su futuro. Tuvo mucho tiempo para elegir abandonar su carrera, pero le gustaban más las carreras de ruta que lo que decidió abandonar. En octubre del año pasado, Nairo Quintana anunció su regreso para la temporada 2024. Quien más le apoyó fue su antiguo club Movistar Team.

El encanto de la Vuelta a Italia atrae a muchos equipos y pilotos, pero Nairo Quintana prefiere la maillot Movistar Team. Nairo Quintana está feliz de volver a ser piloto de Movistar Team y conseguirá para el equipo el campeonato de etapa en la Vuelta a Italia. Mucha gente ha pasado por alto que Nairo Quintana fue el escalador y ganador del Tour de Francia como mejor debutante. Acaba de comenzar su primer Gran Vuelta este año.

Nairo Quintana vender tilbage til Tour of Italy efter mere end et år

Tour of Italy er meget velkendt for Nairo Quintana, som tidligere har vundet det samlede mesterskab. Nairo Quintanas øjne var fyldt med tårer, da han vendte tilbage til Tour of Italy efter mere end et år. Den lyserøde Billigt Cykeltøj fik Nairo Quintana til at føle sig bekendt, selv i første etape.

Mere end et år kan ødelægge en professionel cykelrytter, og Nairo Quintanas fravær gik ubemærket hen af medierne. Han led det største trug i sin karriere, og alt, hvad han gjorde, blev ignoreret af omverdenen. Medierne og fansene har glemt, at Nairo Quintana vandt Tour of Italy og Tour of Spain, og de glemte også hans kampgejst for at vinde Tour de France-etapen. Han er bare en chauffør fra Colombia, og han er en professionel chauffør, der laver fejl. Nairo Quintana forklarede ikke meget i mere end et år, og han havde mere tid til at tænke over sin fremtid. Han havde meget tid til at vælge at opgive sin karriere, men han holdt mere af landevejsløb, end han valgte at opgive. I oktober sidste år annoncerede Nairo Quintana sin tilbagevenden til 2024-sæsonen. Den person, der støttede ham mest, var hans gamle klub Movistar Team.

Charmen ved Tour of Italy er attraktiv for mange hold og kørere, men Nairo Quintana foretrækker Movistar Team Cykeltrøje. Nairo Quintana er glad for at være kører for Movistar Team igen, og han vil vinde etapemesterskabet for holdet i Tour of Italy. Mange mennesker har overset, at Nairo Quintana var klatrer og bedste nykommer vinder af Tour de France. Han har netop startet sin første Grand Tour i år.
