Doesn't the current red jersey look like an ugly version of Contador?

39C.
Parasols not umbrellas, according to Kirby.

Looks a bit black to me, though.

Spanish motorbikes up to their antics early this year:-

"Time trial world champion Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-QuickStep)
Martin and Stybar led astray by police motorcycle at Vuelta"

Expect more of this.

That was one hour ago. 34C according to the guy commenting from the moto.

They don't have to blindly follow the motorcycle. It's at least 50% Martin's fault imo.

The forum is kind of quiet isn't it? Usually there would be a post every few seconds in the closing km of a GT stage...

 

[Miburo]

Contador sprinted for 2 sec but we didn't see it...

Anyway he won the sprint lol

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Contador gaining 2 seconds, that man is sharp.

Degenkolb FTW

 

[Forunculo]

Were Contador, Froome and Castroviejo sprinting?

It was a surprise even for the organizers

Who won it?

RaceRadio says contador is 3rd napping 2 seconds apparently.

(if the danish commentators get it right, but Rolf usually does)

Hehe... nicely put.

I have this Giro 2011 feeling, that he will try and close the gc at the first chance he gets. Take time when ever you can, and never count on there being a day tomorrow.

For Christ sake, please someone put a mountain in front of this guy.

Haha, he just can't resist

 

[rghysens]

For Christ sake, please someone put a mountain in front of this guy.

I'll prefer a whole mountain range. Hopefully next year in july.

 

[Forunculo]

Contador won.

Contador won it according to Vuelta web site
