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

[Zinoviev Letter]

TGBM must fancy his chances in this company, even in bad form.

 

[therhodeo]

Any chance for Mollema?

 

[roundabout]

Good.

There is Nocentini, Santaromita and Scarponi I guess.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

A belated FDJ train seem to be hammering it on the front of the peloton. Why now?

If they start getting closer, it may have the unfortunate effect of keeping order in the breakaway.

 

[roundabout]

Roux to not win the sprint for 11th

 

[Afrank]

Winner from the break. Take your pick gentlemen.

I'll take (or am hoping for) Intxausti, Santaromita, or Txurruka.

 

[Rollthedice]

I'd say Intxausti.

 

[roundabout]

Does Sitges have a murito the Vuelta can finish on?

Rat Penat is a nice climb, but it has been a vulgar transitional stage both years

 

[murali]

where is the OPQS rider in the break?

 

[Rollthedice]

Can somebody explain what's with FdJ?

 

[Beech Mtn]

where is the OPQS rider in the break?

You keep asking questions. Might want to open the CN live ticker in an extra window.

 

[murali]

19 km to go and 2:18 gap.

i think they may reel back the break, but opqs should come forward imho.

 

[Cyivel]

where is the OPQS rider in the break?

Meersman was caught by the peloton a while back, fam.

 

[roundabout]

Can somebody explain what's with FdJ?

Roux. Anthony Roux.

 

[murali]

he is missing in tht ticker, i know.

i thought they were intent on winning this stage.

 

[roundabout]

QS chilling at the back

 

[gatete]

Are there any feeds yet?

And now FDJ have given up. A bizarre waste of energy.

 

[roundabout]

They at least tried. Unlike Cannondale, QS and Orica.

 

[murali]

at last a win for the break. and we had to wait for 12 stages to finish.



hoping for txurruka today. the caja riders have been in every break of note. they deserve a stage win.

 

[murali]

They at least tried. Unlike Cannondale, QS and Orica.

i think OPQS and OGE strategy today was being part of the break.

OPQS dont have a de weert and fenn. Meersman tried the break. they don't have any sprinters left.

OGE, i am not sure. they sent Meier in the break. i think tht the OGE guys dont think that they can win the sprint in the final 400m ramp.

 

[Afrank]

Crash for Intxausti.

 

[Parrulo]

Intxausti to save Movistars giro today!!!!

p.s. Really . . .

 

[Rollthedice]

Intxausti down.
