Fekking Gastroenteritis :mad:

I wouldn´t call it a joke, seems a bit disrespectful. The trouble is that many of the riders in top 10 is more than satisfied to finish top 10, probably only 3 riders who isn´t satisfied (who´s currently in top10). Wigans, Cobo and Nibali, and of those W and C seems to be best and therefore...

Probably not! But then again - who knows when it comes to this Vuelta :rolleyes:

This forum is as messed up as the race itself - different winner after each stage, makes me seasick!

He´s maintained throughout the race that if he doesn´t feel 100% he will ride his own tempo rather than try to stay with the leaders to long and blow up. Hopefully that pay´s off tomorrow (Maybe not but one can hope). But for him a top 10 on GC would be more than good. But I really thought...

Nice pick ;) Well, being a world class mountainbiker have prooved to be a good foundation for doing good on the road. But we are yet to see this weekend how fresh everyone are...

Kessiakoff were aiming for a top 20 position before the race so as I wrote in another thread it isn´t he who should animate the race with attacks at this point. But if he feels good at Angliru I think he should try to do something.

The podium could very well be like that but Kessiakoff hasn´t been trying to get away so we don´t know how strong he is - but he sure had no problem following today as it seemed.

Since a swede is in with a chance to win a GT I throw myself into this discussion ;). Hope I´m not to biased but I think Kessiakoff has been the smartest rider so far when it comes to conserving energy. Martinelli (Astana manager) even said that he didn´t give full gas at the TT to conserve...
