2011 Vuelta a España Stage 17: Faustino V --> Peña Cabarga 211,0 km

[Von Mises]

Looks like it from his blog.

Not sure what the problem was but from the translation it seemed to affect the way he was sitting and sounds like a saddle sore.

'Murepoisiks was sitting on the eggs of birds from a very painful way full of a hard thing to pop out.'

Apparently Siutsov dropped out with the same problem 10 days ago.

More or less correct. He writes in his blog that it developed during rest day, so he had to skip a training session. And yesterday it was very painful ride, he had to keep his weight on left buttock, as consenqunce he got pain in his right knee. And yesm he adds that Siutsob dropped out with same problem.

I only see Taaramae and López on the ticker: who else?

Cancellara and Majka DNS

Fun race going on according to the ticker...

 

[Frosty]

Katusha really seem to be putting the effort in. Maybe the break is too big for their liking and they hope 3 or 4 break away?

 

[roundabout]

They gapped Poels

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Another reason is that poor Poels is in the second group 1.02 behind the Katusha led peloton

What the **** is Poels doing seriously

This is going to ruin my day

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Probably Poels was again badly positioned. He does that so often. And he got caught behind a split.

 

[Frosty]

Yeah cheers, hadnt checked the Spanish feed, 1.02 behind. Wonder if anyone will help Katusha? For Vacansoleil their biggest thing for the rest of the Vuelta might be Poels today so they should go all out.

Edit: Going through the feed zone now, maybe they will be able to make up some time there although its not the ideal place to go fast.

David López abandons - LOPEZ GARCIA David (116), Movistar

that's 4 gone missing so far today

I had pretty high hopes for David Lopez this Vuelta. Shame he didn't won that stage where he was in the breakaway.

 

[roundabout]

Anyone who feels they can win today should help.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No they shouldn't. It's not fun

 

[roundabout]

He is back so deep breath.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hopefully they keep him UP FRONT now... because that's Poels biggest problem. He doesn't like to fight for position

 

[LukeSchmid]

Moreno 11th is 16 seconds behind Poels 10th on GC so I guess Katusha wants a top ten.

 

[Tom T.]

Anyone think Froome can/will attack on the final climb now that he doesn't have to drag Wiggins around?

Obviously he will have to attack to make up ground on Cobo, but can he?

Poor Poels.
All that Dekker Tifosi love hype of yours has given him the "Kiss of Death".
Still, he's clawed his way back on, now.
Back to winning the stage, huh?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Poor Poels.

Oh stop that bs.

He was doing fine earlier and I've been hyping Poels for years already on several boards

Most likely not, Cobo will have to have a pretty bad day for that to work.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

A new break has 1.12
VAN AVERMAET Greg (038), KAISEN Olivier (128), BONNAFOND Guillaume (012), FRÖHLINGER Johannes (173), PETROV Evgeny (137) y CHAVANEL Sylvain (143).

 

[El Pistolero]

Even I've been hyping Poels

My most favorite Dutchie ever since T-A.

I hope Anton salvages his Vuelta today.

Wiggins is the one who has to attack, and helps Froome's quest to win it all.

Yes, he's a good one, but the mental picture of D-T chewing his finger nails and gnashing his teeth somehow made me think of..............ACF.

Actually that's not my style. I immediately go over to throwing stuff around my room. This way I've broken a TV remote, 2 mouses, 3 keyboards and 3 game-pad controllers
