After a very intense training session (several times) up Coll de Rates (Alicante, Spain), Robert Gesink (NLD/LottoNL-Jumbo) is preparing to go down again and thus getting arm- and leg-warmers out of the teamcar (to protect himself against the colder winds at 600m above sea-level). Sep Vanmarcke (BEL/LottoNL-Jumbo) is already ready at this point.
