2011 Vuelta a Espana Stage 18: Solares - Noja 174,6 km

[spalco]

Montaguti continues to be a total twat.
Wtf, does he think he's playing at?
Deserves a good smacking.

Haven't been watching until now, what did he do?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Haven't been watching until now, what did he do?

What the Carrot is now doing. Loitering on the back and not doing a tap in the group to chase Paulinho.
Montaguti now doing his bit.

 

[Moncoutie]

Haven't been watching until now, what did he do?

He's daring to challenge the mighty Moncoutie for KoM. Should be thrown out!

 

[EderShamir]

11 km, it would be great to see Paulinho win, Portuguese comentators will go crazy again.

Dammed chasers, I hope they won't get to him.

 

[spalco]

I see. Well it looks like they are starting to attack each other already. I wouldn't rule out Paulinho succeeding with this.

I wanna hear Paulo Martins crying again

The chasers are completely disorganized, if they can't get 5 people working together, Sergio has it.

 

[Jux1893]

C'Mon, make us proud

 

[max_powers]

with Radio Shack colors in the lead here, visualizing the Schlecks in similar colors. ugh
Fabian has always looked good in red.

 

[just some guy]

Be great to see Paulinho individual win but maybe not so good with all the Frandyshack cr@p

 

[EderShamir]

15 seconds, they'll catch him.

If they arrive together my bet is Gavazzi...

But fight until the end, Sérgio!

 

[canyonball]

I think he's given up already. Well, he had to try something. Better than wait for Gavazzi to take it on the line.

 

[Maxiton]

Paulinho looks like he's cooked.

 

[Broth3r]

Well he's still there... if the guys up back start thinking they can start looking at each other, they're sorely mistaken.

 

[Maxiton]

Todd Gogulski's starting to grow on me as a commentator.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Gavazzi finally to dish out a nice slice of CQ pie?

 

[Nielsa]

Ah, troppo facile per Gavazzi.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Great job by Gavazzi, taking full advantage of Vandewalle's eagerness.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vandewalle with the most stupid tactic ever.

 

[boomcie]

Vandewalle had clearly never heard about the poker game.

 

[Jux1893]

Vandewalle with the most stupid tactic ever.

True that.

 

[LaFleur]

Vandewalle with the most stupid tactic ever.

So what was he supposed to do? Sit up and wait for the whole group to pass by?

 

[Broth3r]

Petacchi must be green with envy, he only has half a team to launch him. Gavazzi had almost two.

Also, Vandewalle's already lost a stage to Gavazzi in the Basque Tour in the exact same way, earlier this year. WTF.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Yay! Gavazzi always the favourite to win from that group.
Vandewalle got the best result anybody was likely to get.
Seen that celebration a few times since the Volta.

 

[TRDean]

Close for Geniez!! Oh well...

lol@the off-road antics and kiss

(oh, and the thumb suck at the win -- sweet!)
