2011 Vuelta a Espana Stage 7: Almadén --> Talavera de la Reina, 182.9km (26/8)

[Geraint Too Fast]

Houanard in the break for the third time, I guess he's this Vuelta's version of Jérémy Roy.

Kittel to win before the mountains hit. Farrar shall win afterwards as his experience will count. It's a learning curve for Kittel but he has the talent. Going to be exciting and first sprint without Cav and an all domineering HTC team. Get used to the latter.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Where has Howard proven he is faster than Degenkolb?

They've never been against each other though in saying that seeing both of them sprint Howard seems to have a higher top end speed of a really fast sprinter and Degenkolb is more of a stayer and a guy for the tougher sprints.

Anyone remember the last time la vuelta finished in Talavera de la Reina? It was great!

I hate those Universal commentators. Good stage win tho.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So who's going to watch the stage from the moment the live action begins?

 

[stetre76]

me - actually I wanted to go cycling myself, but 36°C is just a bit too much
>>> watching the stage

 

[insideout leadout]

Will turn it on when it begins but doesn't mean Im going to watch it.

 

[wirral]

Dan Martin or Van Summeren requiring the doctor?

Is this question kind of a trap ?

Me of course. And Kittel will win.

btw, I am promoting "our" WC. You should slowly start, too. lol
Perhaps some awesome CN-posters will visit us and we could see their ugly faces.

I might paint my bedroom wall and then watch it dry. Then watch the final 10 K.

Edit.

I am not. But I guess you won't read this cause I'm on your ignore list. Rube "the pube" Lampe.

 

[Tuarts]

Well don't all post at once! The excitement must be too much for some people.

 

[EderShamir]

Not a fan of these kind of finishes myself, but it might be interesting without Cavendish.

 

[Fetisoff]

I take it there isn't many crazed Cofidis fans on this forum?


To make things even better, the frigging tracker thing on the vuelta site ain't working for me

 

[icefire]

Can anyone count thread posts at the end so we can have a rough measure of how interesting are sprint stages?

 

[just some guy]

I am was going to go for a ride 1st one in ages home early for work and everything

But got a big case of the can´t be f**cks so will have a lie down and watch at the same time.

Ride tomorrow or even tonight maybe

works for me

We all know sprint stages are dull it's no surprise to anyone, yet everybody is complaining at every single sprint stage. The race is as long as you want it to be, start watching with 20k to go.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Flat, probably uneventful, so we get 80kms to go from the start of live coverage.

 

[Tuarts]

Hey, I recognise Angel Mate. Used to be at Andalucia when pink was cool.

You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through! If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother. Oh my back hurts, it's not a very fine day and I'm sick and tired of this office...

 

[insideout leadout]

Yeah I want to complain on the complainers who come here and complain just to complain and therefore I complain.

 

[boomcie]

C'mon boys...
Complaining is essential to the viability to this forum.

Soon you guys will be complaining about guys that are complaining about guys that are complaining. What's not to like?

 

[Cobblestoned]

I guess we are short before someone coming out to point out the awesomeness of the Giro.
