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

[cineteq]

Wow looks very promising today, woot woot!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali and Wiggins in the break. I feel l'Aquila 2 coming up. Come on Bauke, don't fall for it

 

[Zoncolan]

I think they are just going for IMS bonuses?

 

[federalski]

Thanks roundabout.

 

[roundabout]

Group too big.

Not every big group ends up being l'Aquila

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah they are just in there for the sprint bonuses. They will drop back unless they want to **** off the other guys in the break who are hunting the stage win.

 

[Jamsque]

Clever riding by Nibbles.

 

[bicing]

Nibali takes the first sprint, inspired by Mollema yesterday?

This break... is totally awesome... I pray it stays all the way to the end!!

 

[Jamsque]

Those bonifications should move Nibali up to 2nd in GC.

 

[Gingerale]

ha! that's why i like nibali. cagey rider. bradley has his hands full.

Yeah they are just in there for the sprint bonuses. They will drop back unless they want to **** off the other guys in the break who are hunting the stage win.

indeed, they've already let them go, but even without the gc-contenders I'm not sure it's gonna work as that group is quite dangerous in regards of the team classification (with 2 leopards and just one ride from Radioshack/Rabobank)

 

[sublimit]

More horsepower than an F-15 in that break but it cant last.

 

[auscyclefan94]

FFS, BMC! Do you lot have **** for brains? Attack and get in the ****ing break!

 

[jsem94]

The TV coverage can't come any sooner can it...

 

[hatcher]

Katusha have to chase. Astana too. Leopard?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

This break... is totally awesome... I pray it stays all the way to the end!!

It didn't work out. Anton is still in though.

[LaFleur]

Montaguti will lose his KOM if he doesn't bridge right now.. This look like it could go all the way to all of the KOM points atleast.

 

[roundabout]

Nibali is still very aggressive. Needlessly so.

 

[TeoSheva]

Montaguti will lose his KOM if he doesn't bridge right now.. This look like it could go all the way to all of the KOM points atleast.

he's in already

 

[hatcher]

Roche and Seeldraeyers still too close to let go, surely.

 

[mb2612]

Nibali bridges back across, does he feel Wiggins is the stronger climber?

 

[Moondance]

Wait... Is Neebs in the break now or isn't he?

 

[hatcher]

Wait... Is Neebs in the break now or isn't he?

Just got back to the front group. Mollema and Rodriguez too.
