Rein Taaramae wins 2015 Vuelta a Murcia

Rein Taaramae wins 2015 Vuelta a Murcia alone. More photos

The Race: Historically a stage race, since 2013 the Vuelta a Murcia has been run as a single-day race. After a quiet six years racing for Astana (2008-2014), Rein Taaramae transferred to the Alexandre Vinokourov-managed Astana squad for 2015. If today's race is any indication of how things will work out for him in the new colors, he made a good choice. Taaramae won the prestigious Tour of Murcia alone, ten seconds ahead of a 17-man leading group.

Taaramae was with a group that had escaped the peloton, but then left his companions behind, at one point having a two-minute lead. That large gap wasn't sustainable, but he was able to cross the line with a ten-second lead.

Tomorrow's (Sunday the 15th) big race is the Clasica de Almeria, also run in Spain. BikeRaceInfo will have complete results posted for it as soon as possible.
