Cozza in position, Tuft back on bike – Volta a Catalunya, prologue

Race report from Johnny Weltz

Today’s prologue was 3.6km and was very explosive. The big favorite Thor took the stick home and another favorite, our own Svein Tuft, ended on the ground on a very technical circuit… as did other favorites today. So our second hope was Steven Cozza who delivered a solid performance and with a couple of seconds would have been right up there.

The good news of the day was that Cozza, our climber and overall contender, only lost 14 seconds in a discipline which isn’t his strongest. And fortunately Svein didn’t heart himself more than some bruises. Tomorrow will change the whole history as we have to hard climbs from the beginning to the end!
