The Lampre team was happy with the determination for the Ethiopia lion, as they call him, of Team Lampre-Merida in the 15th stage of the Vuelta a Espana. Tsgabu Grmay strongly aimed at being in the main breakaway and he made it.
He succeeded in joining the front group after 20km, completing a solitary chase effort to make it back to 9 attackers who had escaped from the peloton after just a few kilometers. The efforts of Grmay were importnt, considering that the breakaway) could reach a maximum advantage of 22' on the bunch.
On penultimate climb of the day, however, it was too hard for all the riders in the escape, except for Schleck and Torres.
"Today we have given continuity to the conduct of the team at the race here at Vuelta.We were once again protagonists in the escape of the day with Tsgabu who was great at trying bravely to attack in the queen stage of the race," sports director Orlando Maini said.
