2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 13: Valls→Castelldefels (169 Km)

[all_in]

2 minutes for breakaway.They have this in the pocket.

 

[ToreBear]

Arg, no EBH in the current break after all that work.


Noo! it's 2 min already! They are letting it go.

 

[jens_attacks]

do you guys remember any stage where a successful break was formed after half the stage was over?

that is the case most of time( i mean if the break is formed after half the stage)
the peloton just lets them, they are tired enough

txurru or piedra pls

do you guys remember any stage where a successful break was formed after half the stage was over?

Last year in TDF when Fedrigo won in Pau....break was formed at 100km of a 160km stage

 

[ToreBear]

I think Scarponi is best placed at 10 minutes down. If this break takes it, I hope it does with more than 10 minutes. Scarponi deserves it, and I'm throwing my toys out of the pram.

 

[murali]

i think the climb will decide.

i don't think htat the break will have 18 riders after the descent.

I don't effing believe that they let this break to go.

4 teams with 2 riders each. a total of 15 team respresented.

astana, cannondale. FDJ, garmin, Katusha, radioshack, and saxo are the 7 teams that are left out.

So garmin is the only sprinter team left. Probably katusha and saxo might look at their chances. surprisingly, the GC teams have let one movistar rider go.

A basque rider ftw!

 

[search]

Beñat to win today's stage for Xavier, the only reason why he is doing this Vuelta

 

[Koba80]

Go Kiri! Davai Vasya Davai!

 

[manafana]

thats an insanely good break to let go.

 

[all_in]

Gilbert dropped....

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Jesus, they've killed the puncheurs entirely. Looks like less than 20 in the "peleton".

 

[ToreBear]

I think I saw EBH right behind him. I guess he is tired after all the early action.

 

[murali]

i had to go for a meeting. what did i miss? are all the GC riders together?

 

[The Hitch]

do you guys remember any stage where a successful break was formed after half the stage was over?

2010 Mende. That was an epic stage.

 

[murali]

i move out of my seat for a few min and all hell has broke loose.

what are the guys really thinking of, esp with 50 km to go after the climb

 

[postmanhat]

Would be great to see Txurruka win, though I think he'll probably have to go early to beat Nocentini up the final ramp?

 

[murali]

the uncategorised "ramp in descent" is crucifying people.

 

[murali]

gilbert back in peloton.


37+ km and 3 min, another win for gilbert?

 

[murali]

i am thinking of navarro now.

get into a few good breaks, and claw back to top15 GC

 

[Rollthedice]

Winner from the break. Take your pick gentlemen.

 

[RedheadDane]

Intxausti has special reasons for wanting to try today...

 

[roundabout]

Whoever wins I hope he escapes before the murito in the end
