2012 Vuelta a España: Stage 4:Barakaldo-Estación de Valdezcaray 160.6 Km

[vcampbell]

Contador might just have won a top domestique in Valverde.

Exactly the same was in my mind

 

[Mellow Velo]

Crosswinds started the upping of pace.
Sky not covering themselves in glory.
Quintana with Valverde.
Groups all over the place.

 

[issoisso]

Wow what a massive **** move by Sky
Then again, it's completely in character

 

[Alpehue]

Sitting at work trying to watch it when the boss is not looking, anyone seen contador? where is he?

 

[ILovecycling]

This is WAAAR!


Comon Pity!

 

[PhiberAwptik]

Flecha looked back, saw the crash, and stood up on the pedals.

 

[JimPanzen]

It would suck so much if the race gets decided by such bull****! And of course Sky not eager to make friends here

Edit: I was pretty neutral...but now I want Sky to get smahed in the mountains.

 

[GroupDK]

a heavy brise / wind

 

[Descender]

Crazy wind. Loving it.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

What is all this hating on Sky? I do not like them much either, but this is what racing is.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

But the ones held up by the fall were in front of the peloton and now have no chance. Still feel bad about this. This sport is too random this way. Luck is becoming too important

 

[Fidolix]

loool spanish TV suck at this, no overview what so ever.

Contador in the first group.

 

[hfer07]

damn -the entire peloton is split in pieces all over the road-what a mess

 

[Alpehue]

Where is contador?, only Valverde thats behind?

 

[Forunculo]

MADNESS right now

 

[TourOfSardinia]

1m04 valverde

 

[Miburo]

Confirmed: Contador is in the group of sky.

 

[LaFleur]

It's not only Sky making the pace in the group but still Sky gets all the hate.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

BTW, Valv said he isn´t going for CG AND he would be out of it ANYWAY today. What if Degenkolb is in red? Waiting for him?

It´s getting ridicoulous this cry baby behaviour...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Saw Conta on Froomes wheel 2 min ago

 

[Descender]

Yep but I don't think much would happen without the crash...

With this wind and sky's predisposition to go for it? I say we would have had blood anyway.

 

[Highlander]

Sky has a 1:04 gap to Valverde. Even if they did start to pick up the pace before the crash, Sky did look back when they heard the riders go down and decided to up the pace anyway.

 

[Antianti]

Well, SKY is setting a precedent. If crash, race to take advantage. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

 

[therhodeo]

Thats a great idea Sky. Screw with spanish riders in spain. That will get you lots of help later on.

 

[levione]

The attack caused the crash. They have not attacked the crash. Let them race.
