2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 1: Vilanova de Arousa - Sanxenxo 27Km (TTT)

[murali]

is it just me or are OPQS riding very smoothly?

 

[murali]

i think all the teams are shedding the riders fast. almost everyone finishing with just the bare minimm

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Lots of technical corners early on, quite easy to become detached from the bunch.

 

[murali]

sky are off

 

[Orbit501]

OPQS already down to 5 riders. Tony Martin dishing out the pain. De Weert and Stybar still there though. Maybe hang onto red tomorrow for Kevin and Stybar to have a bash the day after?

Pretty good time by Omega,it could be enough ftw

i think so too. 54.35 kmph!!! Thats really fast for OPQS.

Now we have to wait for Sky(henao), astana and katusha

and my favourites Movistar

 

[roundabout]

20 seconds should be too much to make up for Sky.

...and not forgetting Movistar. Can't see them repeating last years feat though. Astana the ones to watch now no doubt.

Sky magic is gone when there is no Dawg

Hefty loss for Betancur, Pozzovivo

 

[lemoogle]

Just tuned in, apparently AG2R is doing terribly?

 

[murali]

I don't think that valverde will want to wear leader's jersey tonight

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Hefty loss for Betancur, Pozzovivo

what? they did a very good ttt actually

 

[Libertine Seguros]

A minute and 20 down or so. Bad but there's worse out there (Cofidis).

 

[The Hitch]

h8h? what the hell are you talking about?

This. You told us on the Grand Bornand stage that the gc riders would attack and called those who said they wouldn't idiots.

You then said that if you were wrong youd admit your mistake. So we are waiting, 1 month on, for you to admit your mistake.

Does anyone really expect attacks from the GC riders? Nothing will happen until the last climb of the day.

for f*** sake you don't get it again do you?

of cours ethey will. this is hardest climb and movistar, katusha, and saxo are there in that break only to help out their leaders when they attack

the glandon was used to send riders up the road with a good advantage :facepalm:

We will see.

But if you are wrong, will you admit it later?

Ryo is never wrong. He even predicted you'd be wron about Ventoux and dint own up.

I'm very curious as well

of course. you know me. but this is the tactis they planned I'm sure of.

Time for you to admit your mistake, Ryo?

Hefty loss for Betancur, Pozzovivo

How much did they lose?....i was away

 

[Orbit501]

I don't think that valverde will want to wear leader's jersey tonight

Agreed. Just keen to keep time gaps between GC contenders, and Nibs in particular, down to a minimum I expect.

 

[murali]

TST doing great. 30:31.1 for them. coming in secind right now

I think Majka is really charged up for this vuelta!

 

[Cyivel]

How much did they lose?....i was away

[Eyeballs Out]

I'd hate to see a bad one

 

[Libertine Seguros]

EBH dropped by the Sky TTT? I would have expected him to be one of the last 5.
