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

[Nielsa]

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.

Oh okay. I remember being on ground broadcast (analogue) here and Eurosport was one of those free channels.

If you have basic Sky I think you can add Eurosport on its own without having the rest of Sky Sports. That's the setup at my nans house anyway.

I have an Eurosport Player subscription for about £3 a month too.

If white reflects heat from the sun back, it also reflects it back to the rider from inside the jersey? In reality. There is no difference except the psychological because we are told "white is cooler"

Your theory would work if the body had the same temperature as the sun, and if the body was not actually in contact with the jersey. Basically, the heat transfer away from the body is not dominated by radiation, but rather by airflow and heat transport through less moving air and fibres.

Wuyts is really going backwards. He is saying Soler had died.
Seriously Michel? Alzheimer hitting you fast

 

[hatcher]

Menchov?
..

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Devolder, lol.

 

[icefire]

Menchov?
..

Not listed among the first 47 in GC on the vuelta site. Unlike Sastre he probably missed the split.

On GC now:
Sastre @ 2:58
Menchov @ 4:01

 

[Ferminal]

Super win Lastras, very happy with that, remember how many breaks he was in at the Giro?

 

[LaFleur]

No Menchov haha Both Estonians on the front group, 30-40 something.

 

[hatcher]

Menchov 3'06 lost today.
also Kruijswijk, Duarte, Kashechkin

 

[roundabout]

Menchov lost 3.06.

Meltdown commencing.

 

[Ferminal]

Eddy Sagan is human, or another timing error?

 

[Havetts]

Menchov lost 3.06.

Meltdown commencing.

Lol Menchov... So odd that this happens, everyone to Sastre! Yay!

 

[ingsve]

I guess that answers who will be leader for Astana. Kessiakoff in the first group while Kashechkin and Kiserlovski came in 3.06 down.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

97 65 MENCHOV, Denis GEO + 3' 06''

 

[LaFleur]

Duarte also lost 3.06. Not looking good for the Geox, seems like no WT next season.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kruijswijk @ 3.48
wonder what went wrong, not very good.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Sastre @ 2.58 also.

massive geox fail.

edit: never mind i was looking at general classification

 

[luckyboy]

Danmit Menchov

 

[roundabout]

Eddy Sagan is human, or another timing error?

He would have sprinted for it if he was there?

Or he doesn't bother sprinting for minor places??

I dunno.

 

[LaFleur]

I guess that answers who will be leader for Astana. Kessiakoff in the first group while Kashechkin and Kiserlovski came in 3.06 down.

Might be the 4th K tho. Kangert was supposed to be the worker yesterday and today, but he came in the front group today and is only 20something s behind Kessiakoff in GC. Not sure then..

 

[luckyboy]

Sastre @ 2.58 also.

massive geox fail.

Sastre was in the first peloton at 1'43" today.

Oh you mean overall rankings

 

[roundabout]

Sastre @ 2.58 also.

massive geox fail.

Sastre in the first chase group at 1.43. You must be looking at GC standings

 

[LaFleur]

He would have sprinted for it if he was there?

Or he doesn't bother sprinting for minor places??

I dunno.

Surely he would've sprinted. Thinks that he wants the green jersey? No?
