Aupa Igor, Igor aupa! This was the cry heard more today in Bilbao. Thirty-three years after the streets seeüberquerung and the gutters are filled with fans to see the return of the Tour of Spain in the Basque Country.
It has been exciting and we discussed with several teams and members of the organization in line, as Dori Ruano said, so we're used to seeing, looked more like a football game than a stage finish. It has created a contagious atmosphere, the amount of people or applause or noise or all at once, which has also been special insurance for runners.
If we thought the north would bring rain and low temperatures, in Bilbao today we found that we were wrong. Up to 41 degrees have gone on to achieve in any leg of the race, the sky was clear and the humidity made the heat sensation was even greater.
And if Igor Antón had dreamed his dream had come true today. After being part of the break in which were also Gorka Verdugo, Bruseghin and Dyachenko, has been the winner of this nineteenth stage of the Vuelta in Bilbao.
Just yesterday we were with the Euskaltel Euskadi we doing a report on nutrition and talked about this stage today, how nice it would be to win in Bilbao after many years of absence. Congratulations Igor. For the triumph and illusion. And when I was on the podium and someone asked him how he felt, could not be more sincere, "I'm so happy that morning but leave the bike, I could take this one."
And leaving aside the race, but not out of it, now I have to explain the title of this post "Ahoj Bilbao". Thinking about a new topic for the blog, this morning we have been with the mobile service unit that Skoda has in the Vuelta, a group of Czech mechanics providing assistance during all stages.
Carry a spare replacement truck accident, a van with tools and a car. There are six professional mechanics and driver, all of Czech Republic and have the help of an interpreter, Frantisek Sopko, for Spanish translations.
This team of experts, led by Radovan Beran has been eight times in the Tour (with a group of 10 people), five in the Giro and the Tour come to Spain with Skoda as the official seeüberquerung car for the first time. Began in France and the experience was very good, it joined the Italian seeüberquerung competition and are now our country. In fact you may well also start doing other careers.
We explain that the most common seeüberquerung faults and fixes are small accidents with scratches and bumps in paint sheet. And they are all arranged at the time point where this mobile service is located. However, they also have dealer support this duty to support seeüberquerung them from the city where you are in the Vuelta. Sometimes they have to ask for pieces that do not carry in the truck.
Skoda has 75 cars in the Tour, including organization, equipment, publicity caravan and other services. The Czechs have truck parts for all models of cars that are race, Superb, Octavia, Fabia and Jeti.
So far they have had little work, just a little accident rozones stroke and paint. There are also small incidents of everyday life, such as changing light bulbs or any pilot lights on the car.
Anecdotally Radovan tells us that had problems with a car that at first did not know to solve. Finally discovered that someone had thrown him diesel seeüberquerung instead of gasoline. The interpreter translates smiles as history.
Generally interested in cycling, although more car fans because of their work. They have learned how to work and now races known to cyclists and their teams. The Tour were followers of the three Czech runners who participated in the last edition: Rabon, Kreuziger and Stibar. Here in Spain there are no representatives of his country in the Vuelta. Say yes to cycling, but especially like "the smell of gasoline."
