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

[roundabout]

And caught.

 

[Publicus]

Nope, Nibali has the 6 seconds bonus remember?

Don't think this is going anywhere, probably winner from the first group. Will just add op to the fatigue, especially in Team Sky.

I think that's the biggest takeaway for today. Tomorrow is going to be carnage.

 

[Cogombre]

Meh. Nibali's group has been catched.

 

[Zoncolan]

It's all come back now, but on the next descent Wiggins will be alone, while Nibs will have 2 guys.
Still trouble for Wiggins ahead.

 

[Forunculo]

It rest 2 climb and sky is nearly death, Wiggins gonna figt alone if Frome is drop

 

[Fetisoff]

What, only 1:45 for the break now ??

 

[Jamsque]

Eurosport are losing pictures exactly as much, ITV just cuts back to the studio when it gets really unwatchable.

It looks like Sky and Wiggins were caught relaxing over the top of Ancares and got ambushed. They've brought it back but it does make Team Sky seem weak.

 

[meandmygitane]

Omg, what will happen on the next descent?

 

[roundabout]

Break should make it if nobody important attacks behind.

 

[Christomir]

Who is best sprinter or rider who could win out of the break?

Yeah, that's what I (as usual) I want to know too. Anyone have ideas?

On previous climbs Wiggins has dropped to the back of the pack and lost out, ie the Liquigas TTT stage and the super-steep Rodriguez finish.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Omg, what will happen on the next descent?

probably nothing is my guess.

 

[roundabout]

To be honest I have zero idea who is still left in the front group.

 

[Jamsque]

The rest of the descents today aren't as tricky, I think Sky should be OK on them. The only question is if Liquigas or Astana or Rabobank try to isolate Wiggins on the remaining climbs.

 

[kasapas]

Yeah, that's what I (as usual) I want to know too. Anyone have ideas?

Do you want a bike Vivelo?

 

[Sophistic]

Is Wiggins really 190cm/70kg?his upper body doesnt look that ghandiesque

 

[Zoncolan]

1. With Sky spent, Moreno might be in red.
2. Better option: splits on the descents and TTT between Leaky and Sky.
Either way, it's looking promising for us!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

A lot of guys have caught back on to the peloton.

Of course. I don't think Eurosport has a single camera of their own on the road in the Vuelta, they all have the same pictures provided by Spanish tv.

 

[Jamsque]

Also interesting to see if anyone from the peloton chases for the stage win, this break is still very very catchable.

 

[sublimit]

Wiggins and Froome have been going full bore for several days so its tough for them, but they need something in the tank for Angliru.
.
Kind of getting worked over but hanging in there. Its a shame Kennaugh isn't here to help out.

 

[Fetisoff]

I'm sure the group will splinter more on the bump that's coming up, so it's too early to talk about who the best sprinter is. Plus for some reason nobody's helping the carrots drive the break, i'm surprised Dan Browne doesn't put Losada up front there

 

[Christomir]

Do you have a bike Vivelo?

Yeah, I have one and I won't be getting another one any time soon

 

[luckyboy]

Wait, pretty much every team have someone in the break except Sky?

 

[roundabout]

Is the team GC like viagra for Bruyneel?
