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

[Mellow Velo]

Major chute involving Purito. Borrowed wheel and he's off again.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Rodriguez in major trouble!
Very, very slow. Arm/wrist problem.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

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

Well this was the only remaining stage where the wind could potentially have been a big factor

 

[just some guy]

uhoh Chute... Purito down.

Major chute involving Purito. Borrowed wheel and he's off again.

Soft peddling May be out

 

[Scirea]

So there will be a 20 second bonus to race for tomorrow after all.

 

[Jux1893]

No more J-Rod, for the GC.

 

[just some guy]

Soft peddling May be out

left hand looks bad no weight on the bars

 

[luckyboy]

Aw no Moncoutie

 

[icefire]

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

If even Cancellara can't drop the peloton.

He's not there to drop anyone. He's just training his ITT.

 

[Maxiton]

So who are we predicting for the win today?

 

[Jux1893]

So who are we predicting for the win today?

He was in the crash. Think he's ok though.

 

[Scirea]

Froome got the 3rd place.

 

[TeoSheva]

He was in the crash. Think he's ok though.

I hope so... He has to reach Madrid

 

[spalco]

Well this was the only remaining stage where the wind could potentially have been a big factor

You never know, a mechanical in a bad spot, a dog running out onto the road or whatever...

The fat lady isn't singing yet.

 

[Ferminal]

Come on JJ...

 

[TeoSheva]

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Did Froome truly get bonus seconds? Had the last survivor from the breakaway been caught already?
