Since BMC is in the break, I am extremely dissapointed with the peloton that they decided to chase it down!
Absolutely unacceptable

BMC deserves it. they chased after Vino's last chance for yellow in the TdF for no reason whatsover.

go peloton!!!

Stunning descent.
Breaks might find it tough, all the way to the end, with bonuses on offer.
Still, thankfully, this race isn't much ado about BMC.

I believe BMC were chasing for the stage win.

The final big showdown to decide the champion of the Vuelta is upon us with many of the gc positions to be finalised.

Am I wrong or is the Giro 2011 still causing disappointments on GC? Everybody who raced that looks as beleaguered as Bertie did at the Tour.

[just some guy]

Break about to be caught or is that the front of the peloton split a little?

Thanks. Don't think it was mentioned on the Vuelta ticker or I overlooked it.

It's incredible how different Spain's landscapes are from north to south.

Kash wannabe Vino.

 

[Moncoutie]

Kash wannabe Vino.

Aren't they all?!

 

[Euskaltel!]

GEOX look as if they mean business...

 

[Tuarts]

Sky train for the sprint? (cant watch so you guys are my ears )

My god Matt Keenan is the most boring, inane commentator I have ever heard.

Yeah it's always depressing just watching them roll through the arid wasteland day after day.

Does Jrod look like he's hurt (from yesterday's fall)?

If he is then Katusha is doing a good job hiding it, they are riding like mad man

Has anyone mentioned Pardilla has given up? Food poisining at Movistar

 

[Euskaltel!]

GEOX and Katusha look serious... Hmm, where are those SKY riders?

He keeps asking questions, and then realises that there is no co-commentator to answer them. Not a one-man job: are there any other broadcasters who expect the commentator to fly solo, and does it work for them?

They are still busy in stage 16 trying to drop Cobo on the flats

 

[shalgo]

Time for the daily shot of Anton lurking at the back of the peloton.

Ughh.... Sucks when you have a pretty good Vuelta, only to fall at the last hurdle due to some dodgy food. Sucks for him, although this will bump him up a few notches in the attractiveness ranking for next year's CQ game.
