Niiiice

 

[Red Rick]

Can we vote for the Vuelta being the best GT of 2012 already?

 

[Lexman]

Well we will have an epic battle in the Vuelta between Andy & Alberto, nice nice ...

 

[roundabout]

Thing is, if the fractured pelvis and 6 weeks are true, then the Vuelta is almost impossible.

 

[Lexman]

he would be ready again end of july, Vuelta starts August 18th, which means he might do the same races as Contador to prepare for the Vuelta LOL

Rumble in the.... eehhhhh.... (I knew my lack of knowledge, regarding Spanish geografi, would come back and bite me some day).

Rumble in the Rambla

A few days ago there was a thread about historic trebles...

I can't see any way Schleck could be ready for the Vuelta if he's out for 6 weeks. Even the Worlds seems unlikely

Rumble in the Rambla

If it happens then this MUST be pushed... Rumble in the Rambla... what a show it would be.

Return of the Kings!

That should be: The Return of the King and the Princess.

Showdown on the Kappelmuur?

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

That should be: The Return of the King and the Princess.

Yeah, that's more accurate

Poor Purito
When the Vuelta was announced, he was the clear favorite, now Alberto, Andy, Samu and even Chris might be riding it as well.

 

[FujiAnton]

If Andy has a fractured vertebrae, he can forget the Vuelta too, at least between 1 and 2 months out of the bike for full recovery. And the Vuelta starts within 2 months, even if he manages to recovery in one month he has no time to be back on top shape.

I thought Hugo the embodiment of compassion.

If its a hairline, that's not true. My brother fracture two vertebrae flying hang-gliders years ago and did even know it. Now that he's older, he has some problems with it, which is typical, but intially it was Advil and ice. He recovered fairly quickly.

Anthony Roux, for two vertebrae, took six months out of the bike.

Well I wouldn't consider Chris a threat to Rodriguez (nor Samu although I mistakenly initially put his name in my post), not with how the form he showed in the Giro.

Quote of the Day and it's only 5 am here. Chapeau sir. Chapeau.

 

[Lexman]

Showdown on the Kappelmuur?

yeah would be great and then the Classica San Sebastian

 

[LaFlorecita]

Return of the Kings!

****ing hell? Pardon my French, but Andy is as far from being a King as it gets.
