2012 Vuelta a España: Tarazona – Jaca, 175 km

[vcampbell]

Contador looked for me very uncomfortable before the final climb, I think the heat just "killed" him.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Contador dropped by Froome...wow

1 Rodriguez
2 Froome 2s
3 Valverde 9s
4 Contador 17s
5 Cappecchi
6 Uran
7 Nocentini +24s
8Santamborgio
9 Roche +27s
10 Gesink 31s

Gesinks last 500m were probably better than Contadors lol

I think Froome was more than 2 seconds down on Rodriguez. Probably 4 or something.

**** .

 

[Arnout]

What a lame stage once again.

 

[Hayabusa]

Big winner there has to be Froome as you'd assume he'll take a lot of time on Rodriguez in the TT.

 

[richwagmn]

Contador needs some steak.

Take it to the clinic idiot.

 

[burning]

You can see he's feeling bad when he's not dancing away

 

[Miburo]

Clinic.......

lol 10 char

 

[maltiv]

Rodriguez takes his 7th GT stage victory in 2 years. That's pretty impressive for a non-sprinter.

Contador didn't look like himself at all.

 

[Alpehue]

Could be a bad day.. or is he really not there yet?

Froome... inbeleivable. I really hope Alberto will come back, but he seems strong.

Froome Cooking !! Goo Sky..

 

[Mellow Velo]

Contador looking a bit stale.
Caught by Capecchi.

Rabo did well to limit their loses.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Contador needs some steak.

**** take it to the clinic

 

[Lexman]

Contador was "killed" by the fast steady pace of Sky train...

 

[Miburo]

You can see he's feeling bad when he's not dancing away

true you could already tell that he wasn't good then.

 

[Lanark]

Great finish. Purito won, as was expected. But I didn't expect Contador to crack. It almost looked like he had a fringale or something, like he couldn't go deep. Anyway, hopefully there's a chance for a tight race.

 

[SafeBet]

What a lame stage once again.

So true.



Very nice ride by Capecchi. BMC guy was Santambrogio or Morabito?

 

[roundabout]

What a lame stage once again.

Yes, this was boring. Selective, yet boring.

 

[LaFlorecita]

It's over for Alberto

 

[Tom T.]

Lack of racing in his legs showing for Contador. Froome looks like a beast, simply unbelievable.

Don't write off AC just yet. He's got time to come good.

 

[peacefultribe]

Contador usually has his team drill it on the days that he isn't feeling well. I think hat everybody has caught on to it by now, as some of his former teammates now ride for his competition.

 

[Arnout]

Contador was "killed" by the fast steady pace of Sky train...

Yeah so sad that the Colombians have to work

 

[WinterRider]

I'm loving this vuelta so far, and lots of exciting stage profiles to come.

 

[woodenswan]

there u go: the 2 headed monster of rabo strikes again

 

[Panda Claws]

It is a sad day for cycling.
