Looking for Their Leader TdF26-3
As Movistar hit the first of the two final climbs, their team leader Cian Uijtdebroeks wasn't able to hold the wheels of his teammates. As his teammates realized they didn't have him with them, they looked back debating how long they should wait, or if he would recover in the final kilometers. The Spanish champion Raul Garcia Pierna waited as Jefferson Alveiro Cepeda wondered what he should do. It was decided to let Pablo Castrillo go on ahead to gain the best time possible for the team and the others would bring Uijtdebroeks to the line as fast as he could manage. After all, it is only the first stage of the Tour, there is plenty of time to regain lost time knowing full well that most anything gain happen over the next twenty stages.
