2011 Vuelta a Espana, Stage 16: Villa Romana La Olmeda (Palencia) - Haro, 180km

[Parrulo]

yeah well this. The guy is better then many give him credit for imo.

exactly. he just needs a DS that put some sense into his head the right way. not the military way like tchmill tried too.

said sense should involve dedication and a change in riding style.

Just in case it's not been noted up the thread:

Cancellare should be a DidNotStart tomorrow:

That's a shocker. You wouldn't expect an englishman rooting for an englishman rather than a spaniard.

40 mins of TV and a sprint stage and not 1 mention of the merger?

Where's Wiggo?

 

[Tyke1968]

You reckon Leopard guys are little bit miffed with the merger so drilling it?
Or just for the sprint.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Pah, lack of wind.
Cancellara ITT practice.
Sky? Never joined in.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah...puts a dent in the "Sky has to attack on the flat" theory.

If even Cancellara can't drop the peloton.

 

[Scirea]

So Cancellara and Leopard couldn't do anything against Geox on the flat, what are the chances Sky will succeed? (and they didn't even bother to help Cancellara today)

I think sky won't even try anymore. except tomorrow. which is useless. in the pais vasco is technical, sky will be happy to follow.

P'haps they didn't get the news that Cancellara is doing a bunk tomorrow.

Splitting the peloton would be purely weather-dependent

No wind today

So what if there won't be strong enough wind the rest of the week?
