Can the people wanting to give their confused opinions on the rights of cows please make a thread in the general forum.

please don't inject them with clenbuterol!/please don't stab them for entertainment!

Movistar 2 seconds back on sky @ 8km

 

[SetonHallPirate]

AAAAARGH! Another "Moovistar"! There are no cows racing at the Vuelta, it's MOH-vee-star!

 

[Arnout]

Do you guys feel more guilty of eating a lot of small animals or of one big one? I was recently eating a sea fruit salad and at least 50 fish or water creatures had to give their life for my enjoyment.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Gonna be real close with sky!

 

[hrotha]

Bah, what are we supposed to talk about anyway? Turns out the mistranslation was right - this TTT doesn't count towards the GC.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Sky 2 seconds back on rabobus!!

 

[superconfex]

what a shock!!!

 

[Arnout]

Henao still in front?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Marginal Fails.

 

[classicomano]

Wow apparently Rabo rode a sick 2nd part.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Seriously, can people take the animal ethics elsewhere, I do not want to be drawn in to a philosophically illiterate debate when I just came here to follow the cycling.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Bah, what are we supposed to talk about anyway? Turns out the mistranslation was right - this TTT doesn't count towards the GC.

Danish commentators say it all counts. That it was just talk between the DS's that thought TTT was too dangearus etc.

You've got to be kidding?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Sky far too ragged.

Obviously didn't want to control the peloton in the early stages...

Eh, it was a joke. I just meant everyone is doing the same time.

 

[The Sheep]

Wow apparently Rabo rode a sick 2nd part.

Or just didn't blow themselves up on the first part

 

[Arnout]

So how will Quick Step and the other team within a second feel? With all the corrections, if I was a member of those teams, I would want to know for sure I was really beaten...

 

[Ney the Viking]

Saxo looks like they are losing time on the way in.

 

[superconfex]

saxo gone raggered

 

[Ney the Viking]

Eh, it was a joke. I just meant everyone is doing the same time.

Haha, tell that to garmin

 

[Tyke1968]

Sky eased off a little maybe or didn't have the gas.
No complaints though time gaps should make for an interesting tour.

 

[The Hitch]

contador with his first uphill attack of the Vuelta, dropped 5 riders like stones

 

[Arnout]

Eh, it was a joke. I just meant everyone is doing the same time.

Phew. Would be ridiculous.

Congrats though, I fell for it completely.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Saxo finish 5 seconds back. Decent
