2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 10: Torredelcampo → Alto Hazallanas (186,8 km)

[brilleaben]

Nibali looks like he just warmed up.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Sweet, lol

 

[murali]

who is 3rd, 4th 5th?

where di roche end up?

 

[Afrank]

That has nothing to do with sitting in a chase group without contributing even once, even though they have the same ambitions as everyone else.

Sure it does, racing the Tour means they are more tired then they would be had they not raced it. So they can't ride as fast. We saw Valverde dropped earlier. Maybe hanging on was the best they could do.

 

[Bushman]

Disgusting? "Cowardly" as others are saying? Eh. I'd say they just don't have the legs today.

Still had the legs to follow the accelerations and taking the bonifications on the line.

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali looks as fresh as a daisy

 

[Eshnar]

So it'll be a Horner vs Nibali for the next two weeks!?

 

[il_cobra]

horner will crush froomey at 2014 tour

 

[BroDeal]

This is awesome. After the dark era, the sport needs a champion it can trust, and it has found one in the form of Horner.

All the way to Madrid, baby. All the way.

 

[Red Rick]

God, I hope Horner pulls a Rasmussen in the tt

 

[hfer07]

Gotta love Papi Horner- He's breaking down barriers at 41 y.o. Please enjoy it while it lasts.

Nibs just made his claim of being serious about winning his 2nd Vuelta Title.

Now Horner can claim he's the best climber in the whole wide world!

 

[Marco Pantani]

Chris hasn't signed anything for next year right?

 

[Netserk]

God, I hope Horner pulls a Rasmussen in the tt

2005 or 2007?

 

[classicomano]

If Horner doesnt get kicked out of the Vuelta before it ends I might quit watching cycling forever.

 

[Climbing]

Great win for Horner... looks like Nibali has come to win indeed...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

where di roche end up?

7th, a few seconds off the back of the leaders group. He spent about 5km yo-yoing in and out of that group of 7/6/5/4.

 

[BroDeal]

Chris hasn't signed anything for next year right?

I heard he signed for Sky.

 

[roundabout]

Can't really blame Rodriguez and Valverde. They are only double riders who haven't crumbled yet.

As for the stage, uh, Basso lacked snap I suppose. Nibali did well. And, uh, that's about it

 

[RedheadDane]

Gutsy Grandpa Goes for Glory

 

[Marco Pantani]

I heard he signed for Sky.

U'r Joking?

[Red Rick]

2005 or 2007?

Which was the year he crashed at least twice in one and finished on a road bike

Anyway, if he looked at the way Nibali was interviewed he'd shut up about winning la Vuelta

Also, Nieve is currently 11th in GC -> somebody has to drop out of the top ten, crash out or get busted for Nieve alway's gets 10th

 

[SafeBet]

With Purito and Valverde presumably fading in the third wee, there's at least one podium spot open for grab. Pinot actually with a chance.

 

[murali]

can samu come in top-20?
