    2016 Vuelta a España, stage 13: Bilbao > Urdax-Dantxarinea

    Re: 2016 Vuelta a España, stage 13: Bilbao > Urdax-Dantxarin First of all, it was not mighty hot. Much hotter stages we have seen in Vuelta. Agreed on having this stage just before the queen stage. Being chilled in my armchair, I don't have the chance to do a "I will relax today, client and...

    2016 Vuelta a España, stage 13: Bilbao > Urdax-Dantxarinea

    Re: 2016 Vuelta a España, stage 13: Bilbao > Urdax-Dantxarin Sorry, even if they take it easy, they don't arrive so late and they do some fighting in the last kms, or they do a little sprint. No consideration to they colleagues that had to wait for them to have their deserved rest, no...

    2016 Vuelta a España, stage 13: Bilbao > Urdax-Dantxarinea

    I have written and deleted my post so many times. I have no words. Everybody at the finish line should show their backs to the podium guys (except those in the breakaway) Edit: We need also a rest day, so no claps :mad:

    2016 TdF, Stage 11: Carcassonne → Montpellier (163km)

    Thank you Mr Froome. I could be cheering any other rider, cause you've got a strong team, I'm not British, bla bla bla. But you know what, you have made le Tour more interesting for me till now

    2016 Tour de Suisse, 11-19 June

    Re: Re: Maybe I explained myself incorrectly, but please could you be less harsh! O menos hiriente, chico. I've got all my familiy names dated until 17th century spelled different wyas, AND has nothing to do with Batua. As I have mentioned, the isssue before 20th century was that the...

    2016 Tour de Suisse, 11-19 June

    Re: I couldn't see Cancelara's ride, but when I tuned in and saw he was first, but looked his face when Wilco was just 2 secs behind, I realized that even he did know he was not going to win this one.

    2016 Tour de Suisse, 11-19 June

    Re: Re: The correct Basque spelling is Izagirre. Izaguirre is Spanish spelling. You may meet people in LatinAmerica as Yzaguirre. Ion and Jon are both correct Basque spellings, being Jon more popular. There are two main reasons why many of us have our family names spelled in Spanish. The...

    What about Samu Sánchez? Can he be chosen by these rules? If so, that's my bet.

    Mikel Landa Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: OK, not good in this ITT. AND domestique until this week (something Contador hasn't to do). Landa's ITT skills can be improved if well managed, wait and see. Not this Giro, but let's see in future grand tours.

    Stage 16: Pinzolo – Aprica 177 kms:Where legends are made

    Re: Up Montirolo Landa was pulling Aru and all the rest up front, and he could have done more but Aru was not at his finest. It was a cronoescalada Landa vs Contador. He did wheelsucking AFTER Aru let him go, cause Contador already left them behind. It seems you have only watched the stage...

    Who will be the first rider to win his first GT?

    If Movistar has it clear next year that Piti is not a GT winner, and I assume Quintana will be the leader for the Tour, what about Ion Izagirre for 2015 Vuelta? Of course, if none of the above gets something before that.
