[Descender]

****ing hell was that intense.

 

[Ferminal]

That was like Bola on a **** load of drugs.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

What an "unbelievable" pair of performances from Cobo and Froome.

 

[Moondance]

Froome way stronger than Wigans after all.

Good job Sky... You cost yourself your first GT win.

 

[Moncoutie]

have to agree if Froome had saved that for the last 2kms & taken it to the line he might be in red now.

1 Froome
2 Cobo
3 Mollema
4 Martin
5 Txurruka
6 Nieve

Wiggins a bit late, but he holds enough to Mollema

with the bonus probably halved the advantage.. a shame

That finish just made the Vuelta.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Best finish of the year. By far. Absolutely magnificent. Chapeau to Froome and Cobo.

Just what I was thinking...

He should've attacked beforehand.

Anyway, good finish. Pleasantly surprised to see Sky attacking there, albeit a bit late.

Nice climax in the end.

There's still the stage to Bilbao.

 

[Zoncolan]

With 50 meters to go, when Froome went to pass him from the inside, Cobo moved out of the way, when he could easily shut the door on Froome.
Good sportsmanship.
Not that you'll ever hear it from Harmon.

Instant classic. Chapeau to both Froome and Cobo. Fantastic racing.

 

[Moncoutie]

Anton 5th.

 

[ParfaitAmour]

Wow ....what a finish !

Shouted myself hoarse at Froome there

 

[slim charles]

That finish just made the Vuelta.

Second that.

Epic stuff today. Great rides by both Froome and Cobo. I was hoping VdB would win, but this was just fantastic, one of the best stage finishes this season.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Poels dissapointment of the day. Sigh, just when I applauded him for being consistent this Vuelta, he falls through. Same goes for Maxime Monfort btw.

 

[Moondance]

Bauke podium?

EDIT: Nah... Still way off.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

There's still the stage to Bilbao.

yeah.. it suits mollema more too. Would be great to get a podium.

 

[luckyboy]

Menchov up to 5th. Froome 13secs on GC

 

[Mellow Velo]

wow. Thought froome had the vuelta there for a second. Very gutsy ride by cobo. Harmon getting a tad unprofessional there

Have to say, I was ashamed. Appalling inferences and bad grace, from Harmon.
Froome was unbelievable today.
Pena Cabarga delivers the good, once again.

 

[Frosty]

Mollema in Green? J-Rod not in the top 15, has he been missed?
