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

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

poels gains a big 3 seconds there, surely he is in the top 10.

 

[Fetisoff]

So, 1:32 it is. Plus Moreno's got 14 bonus seconds

 

[Moncoutie]

What did Poels get, 2 secs?!

 

[zapata]

Break sprints are fun, But a pretty disappointing end to an otherwise good stage.

 

[Havetts]

2 seconds for that effort, feels like Rodriguez.

Moreno was indeed 3rd.

 

[Zoncolan]

These guys are now at:
Moreno + 1:53
CAS + 2:15
Roche + 2:18
Seeldrayers + 2:51
Nieve + 3:14

Moreno the big winner - 14 bonus seconds today!!!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Poels Power!
Mosquito Moreno becomes a itch on the GC boys necks.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

moreno moves up a couple spots in GC and sprint points (mountains too maybe?). closing in on mollema in combo also.

 

[Swede1]

Albasini deserved this one. He worked the hardest at the end and still won.

 

[luckyboy]

Moreno just about 10th overall then.

 

[luckyboy]

Euskaltel 9th, 18th and 19th in the group

 

[Descender]

Poels gets... 2 seconds

BRILLIANT ATTACK

It's called "pulling an Andy Schleck".

 

[Mellow Velo]

At 15 kms to go, I was having a L'Aquila moment.
Moreno jumps both the Shack hopefuls into the top 10, behind
Juan "I'm back" Cobo.

 

[Frosty]

Provisional overall

Moreno 9th
Roche 14th

Poels last one included courtesy of his attack?!
Nibali loses time somewhere?!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

nibali wtf?

 

[goggalor]

Nibali 24" back??

 

[roundabout]

It's called "pulling an Andy Schleck".

Nah, he gained 4 whole seconds. That's Rodriguez territory.

 

[icefire]

1M seems a bit expensive.

http://www.lasemainedesardennes.fr/...-Tour-de-France-fera-etape-,5584.media?a=2948

Here it says 150 000 for a TdF arrival and departure.

Then they need 850 000 from other sponsors. Former Vuelta director said last year on TV that the total race budget was about 20M.

 

[Moondance]

Where did Neebs lose 20 seconds?

 

[luckyboy]

What happened to Nibali?!

 

[Frosty]

REsults saying that Nibali lost 14 seconds?

Edit: 20 including the 6 he gained.

 

[shalgo]

That'll teach Nibali to go for the intermediate sprint--little did he know it was a trick "penalty seconds" sprint.

 

[luckyboy]

In the stage ranking he is in Wiggins' group
