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

To quote Blazing Saddles, never mind that ****, here comes Sergio!

Top5 climber on the break? I don't agree. I rate Moncoutié, Amets Txurruka, David Bernabeu, Fabio Duarte, Intxausti and even Luis Leon Sanchez stronger than him. The truth is that Paulinho is a mediocre climber.

The results that you speak of are from many years back and the Ventoux stage you talk about he wasn't that impressive. He finished 51th, and he just did his job during a few km like Stuart O'Grady did this year on the Tour. But you don't say that he's a strong climber.

I said top5 at best

I don't agree with your vision on Bernabeu but I think you're right about the others. See I don't think he'll win or contest, I was just trying to point out that I don't agree that he is a mediocre climber as you say.

Paulinho and Palomares are back.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

its so they get all the ad breaks out of the way so they dont have to go to ads over the closing 10km

I know, and it's a good idea, but each ad break goes on forever.

 

[Moncoutie]

About time Intxausti did something.

Weird climb this one. Lots of little ramps it seems.

 

[Jamsque]

Peloton at 5:38 now.

Sky starting to run out of domestiques, Xabier Zandio just went out the back.

Imagine Vino here...

 

[shalgo]

Looks like Anton is at the back of the peloton again.

But the point is, you remember who is the sponsor - SIDI So at the end, the add works

not necessarily, say you go to buy a new pair of shoes, you see a nice pair of Sidi and go to pick them up *flash of naked Pozzato* *flash of surprised looking Nibali* perhaps I'll buy the Shimano's instead!

 

[TeoSheva]

what is the gap of Moncoutie?
what is doing Duarte?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's Not everything about the legs. Obviously there are better clmbers. But hes no fool and can outsmart stronger riders, IMO. That's why I rate him with a chance.

 

[Havetts]

You're riding for Bruyneel or you are not, lmao...

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Nice attack!

 

[trevim]

Easy there, still 13km to go

 

[Moncoutie]

Won't keep it up. (hopefully!)

 

[afpm90]

Paulinho making me look bad

 

[JRanton]

Only Possoni left with Froome and Wiggins...

 

[Tuarts]

Paulinho goes and Moncoutie catches up to him
