2011 Vuelta a España - Stage 13: Sarria - Ponferrada 158.2 km (2/9)

So the break will be chased down because of team GC? Great way to end an amazing stage.

Eurosport 1 has tennis and World Touring Cars, Eurosport 2 has motorbikes.

Ouch.

Chase down for team GC should be punished

 

[Jamsque]

Gap not coming down much, still nearly 2'30"

They have a pre-existing commitment to a different sport on ITV4. At least they still have it somewhere.

british touring cars, but theres no reason they cant show it on itv3 instead of Kavenagh QC and Vertigo

They should have finished the stage here. Seems like a big enough town to be able to finance it.

I really wish they'd abolish Team GC. It's a competition which is completely invisible for 99% of the race and on the odd occasion where it does have an impact it's almost always to the detriment of the action.

 

[Forunculo]

So the fusion already started?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Let me gloat a little, in that it is live on Universal Sports over here in the USof A.

I'd be glued to the screen hoping Wiggo can keep going up that beast.

there is more to it then team GC.

sure fuglsang, monfort, braj. etc don't want moreno and nieve to get too much time. Especially with no tt reamining.

If its not on ITV at least we wont have to put with 5 minutes of insurance ads every 15 minutes. Apparently you can get insurance for your own funeral costs lol.

Scammers.

That's also true bue I need someone to be angry at because I don't want an anti climax at the finish

Okay, why are Liquigas on the front?

 

[Frosty]

Liquigas and Astana helping out with the pace too.

Less than 3000 inhabitants.

1M€ per stage. If the split between start and finish is 50/50 it makes 166€/habitant. A bit expensive, I think.

Gap has gone out to 2:30

maybe sagan is in the group.

or maybe nibbles wants the time bonuses at the end.

 

[Frosty]

Lovkvist at the back of the pack.

 

[icefire]

6secs for Moreno

 

[Moondance]

Moreno also gets the boni seconds. He's ambitious.

Cant see Nibali winning the sprint. Probably want to help stop the break get too much time.

Seems to me the break will be chased down given that Moreno is in the group and is showing a strong hand...
