2010 Vuelta al Pais Vasco

good to see Dani Navarro in a break

OK, right, so they have shown us the top of the climb.
Don't think they'll have the cars going up there!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Now let's hope for a great spectacle on the climb

 

[Bala Verde]

Another doping pun, ACF?

from the footage they showed a minute ago... Looks like a killer.

 

[python]

with the gap down to only 1:10 the escapees should start attacking each other soon ?

 

[Mellow Velo]

That finish is extremely.......erm...."technical", too. It's going to be a nail biter!

 

[python]

good to see Dani Navarro in a break

they just showed him in front of everyone on the climb - looks good for his tdf resume/cv

 

[Ferminal]

Climb is starting soon?

 

[ak-zaaf]

There goes J-Rod as expected.

/edit: Gesink punctured? Some tweet says so.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Attack, Rodriguez

 

[Moondance]

Rodriguez going for it early..... Nice. GL to him.

 

[Ferminal]

Climb is starting soon?

Starting now... no English links?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No english, just basque. Who cares? You only need to know the names right?

Rodriguez going good!

No just the Basque one as far as I know. But the quality is good.

Rodriguez going good!

Yeh etb is fine... You're right, I don't really care.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rodriguez has 30 seconds on the group Valverde, and he has 2 helpers, Pliuschin and Kolobnev

 

[Moondance]

F@$##$HRJGRE Txurruka.... Was looking so nice too....

Really wish that guy would get a victory sometime for all his efforts.

Txurruka

well, Txurruka's only there for the KOM points, I believe. Txurruka's not a Basque Jens Voigt, he's a Basque Jens Voigt, Thomas Voeckler, Sylvain Chavanel and David Moncoutié all in one. Feisty little rider with a lot of fight. My favourite rider.

Did he just fall of his bike in the front!

 

[Highlander]

Big crash on the descent, that does it for the leader

 

[Beech Mtn]

this is an amazing climb

 

[Highlander]

Well it appears that Rodriguez may be the big beneficiary from his misfortune as he is now on the attack

 

[franciep10]

wheres gesink

 

[Highlander]

This climb looks so steep that my legs are hurting just from watching it

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Did he just fall of his bike in the front!

OK, with a bit of Menchov too?

I pray he makes it to the finish so he can keep that KOM jersey. That guy works his ass off and hasn't got a single win in his career.

 

[Beech Mtn]

It's like the guys are riding in slow motion, it's so steep
