2012 Vuelta. The Return of the King.

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

Quite correctly it was laterally changed to 'Return of the King and princess'

Andy isn't even the princess. More like the housemaid.

 

[T-Nielsen]

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

We have to big Andy up so the clash will be greater.

Btw can we still call it The Rumble in the Rambla.

 

[Panda Claws]

Time to complete the collection of GT second places

best one I've seen here in a long time

 

[Descender]

I doubt he'll even finish the race if he decides to take part.

I thought this thread was about menchov when I read the title. Seriously though isn't it more like return of the doper when referring to ac.

Take your crap to the clinic, where you can find some good **** about LA

How about the king and the juggler, or whatever that was called

Clinic is right around the corner.

Or the king and the queen. Dramaqueen.

Wtf

Stage 1, August 18: Pamplona 16k team time trial is a hoax

Unipublic/ASO Vuelta jerks downgraded the ride to a team pres. which will not affect the overall classification

And we all know why they have done that.

Not a necessary post , but I will reply anyway; maybe you can use you own imagination when it comes to the title

Ridiculous

 

[LaFlorecita]

And we all know why they have done that.

And I know what you all think you "know"

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ridiculous

I think it is a good idea.

 

[SafeBet]

Why are they doing this?
Is there any precedent?

Saxobank aren't very good at team time trials.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Saxobank aren't very good at team time trials.

Facepalm..

Gaps would've been minor and irrelevant when put into context.

Awesome!! Always hated those unfair TTT. I think they should ONLY count for the Team Classification, and NOT affect the Individual Classification!

It is the Vuelta a España after all

 

[SafeBet]

But if you don't wanna make it count just don't do it. Do a parade.
I don't like this

Well I did really like the visual aspect of the 2010 TTT

In one possible scenario but I am sure they wanted to cover all possible scenarios not just the one.

 

[The Hitch]

Don't know what ya'll are on about. The elimination of individual gc implications from a discipline which has almost nothing to do with the individual, is great news.

Its time to modernize and realize we are in the 21st century and leave behind these illogical outdated ways of our less developed ancestors.
