2011 Vuelta a Espana Stage 5: Sierra Nevada - Valdepenas de Jaen, 186km (24/8)

[Moncoutie]

Anybody seen Sastre?

Was wondering that myself!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Dan Martin!?

Oh there, 29 secs down.

 

[Fetisoff]

Edit... NVM. Chavanel in red. 26 seconds down on Browne, with a 6 sec time bonus that still doesn't make up for 43 seconds he was down yesterday.
Good job, Chavanel.

Nice rides by Brajkovic and Froome.

After all that Purito only has 10 s on Nibali.

Shows what a bunch of crap the ttt is.

nibbles was only 11sec behind, so hard to say it is totally unfair even with time bonuses.

 

[Havetts]

31 seconds for Sastre

 

[just some guy]

Scarponi @ 8 sec

Doing well

 

[jobiwan]

Sastre 30 seconds down.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Dan Martin 30 seconds down, not great from him. Positioning very important on that kind of narrow steep climb.

I thought I saw him near the front, then suddenly come to a nearly complete stop as people went past him. It was an overhead shot though, so I'm not sure.

 

[Zoncolan]

Sastre and such a climb? No way.

I'm asking because he looks better than last year. Hoping for a podium.

[icefire]

31 seconds for Sastre

He's improving. Last year he lost about 1:30

 

[Fetisoff]

Anton 57 seconds down...

Zubeldia in 6? Wow

 

[Hugo Koblet]

He's improving. Last year he lost about 1:30

He's got age on his side as well

Moreno, what a lead out Did the same in Burgos.

Poels and Mollema also nice. Wiggins lost some time as expected. Vdb/Menchov ok.

 

[Tuarts]

Wow, so Poels and Nibali were the only ones who could go with Moreno + Purito and Nibali popped. JRod just needs a ****load of points before the TT I guess

Scarponi did well too.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Doesn't Rodriguez get 10 boni seconds as well? or how many?

 

[Havetts]

For some reason I really started to like JRod this season when I didnt really care about him last year.

 

[The Hitch]

Anyone notice that Nibali tried to stay and cracked. Just like Andorra last year.

Theres weakness there.

 

[luckyboy]

lol that advert just said USAPCC is the most gruelling challenge for the riders

 

[Havetts]

10 or 20, think 10.

Not really his kind of climb today though, was it? edit: Heh, forgot he was 2nd last year

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's 20.

 

[Moncoutie]

Thought it was 20, 10, 8?
