Valencia international sportive 2009

Here the Ciclo crew for the 4th International sportive of Valencia.. another great day, if only a little dangerous in the first 20 km or so,, a few crashes, as the bunch just didnt get stretched out..
WHY..
The Rides special guest was Alejandro Valverde 2009 Tour of Spain winner `Team Caisse d´Epargne ´ he started late ?? so the front runners including Ivan Basso held the pace down allowing him to get to the front..
5000 riders all over the road,, hence a few crashes..
Luckly our vice president Ken wills managed to get back on the bike after his crash and finish the race.. a little battered and briused he decide to rest up for the following week..

Ivan Basso of team Liquigas was also there !
a great day and we will be back there next year. More pics at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/CicloCostaBlanca/IbizaValenciaSportives#
