SPARTACUS IS ALIVE!

Race photographer #YuzuruSunada captured the riders racing for the stage win, and the riders racing for the overall, namely Nairo Quintana, Alberto Contador, and more. Get a close eye on the wind cheating suits and equipment sported by each rider.
There was little doubt that ‘Spartacus’ Fabian Cancellara would strike in an ITT this season. Adriano Malori stole the first opportunity for Cancellara to take a win, yet the Swiss champion would prevail in stage 7 at Tirreno-Adriatico. Colombian Nairo Quintana, though small in stature, stood tall against his first official matchup with his big name rivals.
