Gesink, Mollema, Purito, Daniel Moreno, Garzelli, Eros Capecchi.

Thanks

so then all Gesink has to do is kill Moreno and Purito tomorrow in the queen stage and he's won the Vuelta a Burgos

Well, easier said than done I suppose

Gesink, Mollema, Purito, Daniel Moreno, Garzelli, Eros Capecchi.

[jens_attacks]

[Ferminal]

Very greedy of TGBM to take the win...

Nvm Martens?

 

[jens_attacks]

rabo takes the win..moreno super strong,won the race.nothing can happen on lagunas de neila

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

lol awesome Martens

but what is Gesink doing losing time on a finish like this?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Martens wins from Moreno.
Rabo having a great race.

Did they have a 5YO on the motorbike camera?

Been pretty dodgy on every stage, hard to see who is who.

Did you watch? He sacrificed himself on the flat, and in the beginning of the climb, for Martens and Breschel.

probably because of the speed too .on every live broadcast,they were doing 50 km/h+.
i can't complain with vuelta a burgos.
tomorrow it will be a good stage,i hope the colombians will strike

 

[Flamin]

Purito sat up it seems. nowhere to be seen in final k. That, or a mechanical.

Okay, but doesn't he want to win this thing?

Ah well, nice win for Martens.

Good to finally see Rabo winning some races with all the quality they have in their team; hoping Gesink can put up a good show tomorrow in the queen stage.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Love the podium ceremony at Clunia.

Don't get your hopes up, it's not a climb where a guy like Gesink can make the necessary difference to win this race.

 

[jens_attacks]

30 seconds around for henao and chaves on moreno.
we'll have fireworks tomorrow

he worked his *** off on the flat for Martens?

Besides the GC isn't exactly a goal. Gesink wants to ride a good Vuelta. No pressure on GC in ****ing burgos (where the climbs suit a punchy guy like Moreno much more anyway, except tomorrow)

 

[Kwibus]

Any place where I can watch the last kms?

yeah yeah, I al ready got that, no need to be upset. my bad.

He just needs to perform well today, which I'm sure he will, and all is well in the Vuelta prep race. Just needs to get third in the GC.

live coverage starts in 30 minutes

only three scenarios i got for today:

esteban chaves destroys the life of the peloton on lagunas de neila
henao does it
dani moreno follows every move easily and gifts the stage to someone else
