Season 3, Malaga P1 Recap

This week’s recap is about the P1 in Malaga, where nothing major happened… but is that the truth?
Coello and Tapia won convincingly, but there were a lot of great battles and we have spoken about the usual suspects!
Also, Tarragona P1 is close and the entry list looks packed! There are a lot of new faces, who are playing together and we were wondering on who might come out on top! And lastly we had a few statements which Tomi came up with and we spoke about them in depths.
For example, is Augsburger the best smasher? Would Galan be better off without Chingotto? Will Yanguas and Nieto win a title this year?
And many many more!
