Farrar third in Vuelta opener!
Director’s report from Johnny Weltz:
As we are up north in The Netherlands, close to the sea, there was no doubt the weather would have an impact on the race today — and so it did. For us a flying David Millar didn’t get what he deserved as the worst of the storms hit right during his time trial. Ryder Hesjedal and Dan Martin felt the effects too, with hard landings on the ground — but both are ok.
Tyler Farrar hard perfect conditions and his form paid of fwith a superb performance by ending third, just 12 second down. So a good start with a lot to achieve tomorrow, where the finish suits Tyler very well!
