2011 Vuelta a Espana Stage 11: Verín - Estación de Montaña Manzaneda 167,0 km (31/8)

Meh 7 seconds....

Not bad though, I thought he might lose time on this stage

Great to see Moncoutie take it. Meanwhile, j-rod puts a stake in Wiggins' heart.

yeah, if he can take that much time each day, he'll catch him by Christmas.

duarte owned that ****

 

[Winterfold]

Birdsong in the GC bunch?

 

[Thomsena]

Are they having a laugh? This tv production is so horrible..

 

[Zoncolan]

lol 7 seconds for J-Rod

Should have sent Karpets to the front earlier + sacrifice Moreno to get bonus seconds.

 

[Fetisoff]

yeah, if he can take that much time each day, he'll catch him by Christmas.

Who cares about Wiggins, he'll die on Angliru. He can enjoy his couple days in the red though

 

[Jamsque]

Montaguti takes the Ugly Jersey Classification away from Dan Martin.

 

[Lexman]

VDB wasn't in the group with Wiggins right?

Tried that on Sunday and dropped himself.

pretty sure I saw him.

 

[Lexman]

Anyway, great win for Moncoutié, congrats to him!!

 

[Nielsa]

VDB wasn't in the group with Wiggins right?

Yes, at the back.

Suprise of the day, Tom Jelte Slagter. I didn't think he could do this already

Too bad the wind killed ANY chances of staying ahead. With less wind I think they could have done something

 

[Maxiton]

Lol! We can always hope.

 

[Nielsa]

Fuglsang @ 3:35

 

[Jamsque]

Fuglesang lost 27 seconds.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Stupid wind is killing the mountain stages

how impressive was he.

Keep saying that, it might even happen. Good ride by Wiggins and Sky today. No time gained, but no time lost to anyone (7 seconds to Purito is meaningless) and several more contenders shelled.

Only thing I don't understand. If this was the plan all along, why make froome try hard on the TT?

Maybe to see what he could do? I don't know. Even if he plays super-domestique for the rest of the Vuelta, he's reached a new level in his career. Team Sky will know that they've got a young, legitimate grand tour contender.

 

[luckyboy]

Never realised Poels + Lagutin were as good at climbing as they have shown. Mosquera would've had some good help if he was here.

 

[Lexman]

pretty sure I saw him.

Yes, at the back.

Thanks for the info, on my small pc screen couldn't see that well... and can't turn on the sound because at work...

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

The Pope ?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nice to see Martin and Mollema pull that move. I thought I was going to fall asleep up until then. Wiggins was very strong in responding, though.
