[thirteen]

who was that with a bloody nose?

ouch ouch ouch... injury report, please. (i'm watching in a language i don't much understand yet )

 

[Tuarts]

Kittel
Sagan
Bennati
Freire

???

 

[Cobblestoned]

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.

Can't believe I am doing this, but part of the CN-show I guess.

You read it here first.

 

[icefire]

Nibali also fell

 

[hfer07]

RTVE says Purito & Nibali had fallen hard as well -damn

 

[Gloin22]

It was Golas bleeding.

 

[icefire]

Kittel
Sagan
Bennati
Freire

???

Fixed:

Kittel
Sagan
Freire
Bennati

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

eh, Peter Sagan second, not bad sprint so close behind to Kittel ....

Pretty strong indeed, he wasn't really so close behind Kittel really. He was a bike length back.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Yup.
Farrar's fault.
Looks like he Poleaxed Vacan's Pole,
who's in a right mess.
Broken teeth by the looks for Golas.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Scarponi pi$$ed.

If he is well enough to be that, then he is hopefullly not hit hard enough to be worried.

 

[Tuarts]

1 175 KITTEL, Marcel SKS 4h 47' 59''
2 7 SAGAN, Peter LIQ m.t. 1º
3 153 FREIRE, Óscar RAB m.t. 1º
4 101 BENNATI, Daniele LEO m.t. 1º
5 17 MONDORY, Lloyd ALM m.t. 1º

Vuelta site posting time gaps lol. All will m.t by the end of the day though, guess those 9 were the only ones unscathed (and only the first 4 unaffected by it).

Hope there aren't any serious injuries anyway.

 

[just some guy]

Scarponi
Nibbles
J-rod

also down

 

[just some guy]

If he is well enough to be that, then he is hopefullly not hit hard enough to be worried.

as he crossed the line he gave the thumbs up so hopefully ok.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Yup.
Farrar's fault.
Looks like he Poleaxed Vacan's Pole,
who's in a right mess.
Broken teeth by the looks for Golas.

I only saw the heli shot once, but it looked like he just rode into him. Didn't think of Farrar as such a kamikaze

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

damn rodriguez and nibali also down...

It would be another farce vuelta like last year if they all 3 suck after this. Then you get a guy like Fuglsang as winner *shivers*

 

[Mellow Velo]

LOL.
ITV 4 reckon it was Santo Anza's fault for being.........where he was. (er...that would be in front)

Yes, both Nibali and Purito joined Scaponi on the deck.

 

[virandociclista]

Purito is fine.. talking to Spanish interviewer now

 

[dlwssonic]

This vuelta is pretty boring

Yes it looked like Tyler moved very abruptly, How that happened can't see, likely Tyler was hit to move like that

 

[Tuarts]

3 riders yet to come in according to the standings

Careless is perhaps more accurate...

 

[thirteen]

3 riders yet to come in according to the standings

oooooh, that's not good

 

[Parrulo]

This vuelta is pretty boring

translation: there is no cadel nor any good bmc rider( which is implied on the "there is no cadel" part as he is bmc's only good rider) so i don't like this race.

are you blind? this has been a very good first week. . .

 

[just some guy]

This vuelta is pretty boring

No it´s not take off your BMCers and watch some bike racing, it is not amazing but it is not boring
