2011 Vuelta a Espana Stage 3: Petrer - Totana, 164km

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Chavanel suffering the Shack suck tactic.
They could have caught Lastras, but won't.

yeah what a joke those other two are.

 

[Jamsque]

Lastras has it in the bag.

 

[jobiwan]

He's got it now. Chavanel group not working together.

 

[euanli]

They did, actually. Not really relevant to your point, just saying.

Ok I will give you 2009 which I was certain was black, but in 2010 they did not.

Cervelo and Castelli made a big thing about white at the TDF because it was so much hotter. The Vuelta is significantly hotter than the TDF, so why did Cervelo last year, and Garmin this year not wear white?

Can't be anything to do with the TDF being a massive marketing opportunity for new kits.

 

[Nielsa]

Yay, let's sprint for second place!

 

[Jamsque]

Shame that Chavanel was the only guy willing to chase.

 

[luckyboy]

Damnit
.....

 

[jobiwan]

Nice win for Lastras! Congrats!

 

[luckyboy]

lol they lost the sprint anyway, idiots

 

[jobiwan]

No wonder the other two didn't work. Chavanel still outsprinted them!

 

[Maxiton]

Shame that Chavanel was the only guy willing to chase.

Yeah, the other two were afraid of him. Nice ride by Lastras.

 

[thirteen]

still, that was sweet... Tondo

 

[Jamsque]

Very nice from Pablo.

Chav easily takes out the sprint for 2nd... and ITV immediately goes to adverts. I want to see time gaps to the peloton dammit!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Better the chance to steal 2nd or 3rd, than the chance to win.
I'll never understand the philosophy.

Roche, Breschel....

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

ITV go to break before the peloton finishes!?

 

[Fetisoff]

Peloton split?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hmm, I saw Mollema, Breschel, Barredo and LL Sanchez but no Kruijswijk

Question, is it not common in the UK to have Eurosport in your basic cable/sat package?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Hmm, I saw Mollema, Breschel, Barredo and LL Sanchez but no Kruijswijk

me neither. only saw it briefly tho.

 

[Gloin22]

Didn't see Sagan... did he overpeak ?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kruijswijk comes in now with some Geox-dudes and Boonen

 

[Jamsque]

Question, don't you guys get Eurosport in your basic cable/sat package?

Most people in the UK don't have cable or satellite. We get free digital broadcast TV, about 20/30 decent channels and another 50 shopping/porn channels.

Also, I am watching at work so I have to rely on the internet. ITV streams all their channels live.

Same here. I allready missed him on the climb.

 

[HiCadence]

No. comes with medium package i think.

Nice win by Lastras. Chasers weren't organised, but it looked like Chavanel was the only one with strength left so it's not that surprising.

I'm happy the break stayed away. I used to hate it when the break stayed away, but these days it's rare if the break stays away.
