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

[LukeSchmid]

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

Mechanical?

 

[Kwibus]

This vuelta is pretty boring

Is it? Ok today was a sprinter stage so that's always boring, but yesterday there was action.
Wednesday was fun and well Tuesday wasn't very exciting, but not surprising. Monday the break made it till the end which made me happy and Sunday was a fun sprint imo.

I think it's fine so far.

Why is Phinney 186? Did he miss the split or something? Would think of him being in the sprint.

Cool. I only just got home so I didn't get to see it unfortunately.

Mechanical?

If eyesight is classed as a mechanical, yes.
He simply rode into the Vacan rider.

This vuelta is pretty boring

Translation: BMC are crap in every stage and Greg V Avermaet got dropped, yet again.

 

[virandociclista]

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. . .

I put some money in VAN AVERMAET Greg! ouch... ACF falt!!

[T-Nielsen]

3 riders yet to come in according to the standings

Change of bike perhaps ?

Unless you where out cold, your ds would push you over the line just in case, I would recon.

according to ACF and dwl GVA is a possible winner for any race cadel doesn't race

he has been a candidate to every stage so far in this year's vuelta yet i haven't even seen him . . . .

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

+1. LOL.

Talking about a 100% one sided view.

 

[movingtarget]

It was like Farrar did not see the other rider. Not sure what he was thinking. Reckless.

Ok thanks, I didn't know that he had troubles.

And sorry, no, I don't read the blogs of every of the 198 riders in the Vuelta.

btw lafleur your bet has gone terrible bad for you lol

kittel will be another guy to challenge cav over the next few years.

btw a martin - eisel - degenkolb - kittel - greipel train for the worlds would be awesome, finally a lead-out man big enough to keep griepel out of the wind

Then the person on Kittels wheel would win, but it wouldn't have been Greipel because he always loses the wheel of his leadout

Last time I checked, Eisel was Austrian
