2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 14: Bagá → Andorra. Collada de la Gallina (155.7 Km)

[Afrank]

Roche like 2 minutes back of Nibali.

Edit: over actually.

 

[valentius borealis]

7:22 for Roche (3:29 down on Nibali)

 

[Red Rick]

Did Ratto take the KOM?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

7:22 for Roche (3:29 down on Nibali)

Still 6th on GC. It's actually quite hard to drop out of the top 10 from the upper reaches of the GC at this point, because there are only 11 riders left within about a decade.

Guillén must be wondering what has gone wrong today. Thanks God he fired Olano

 

[hfer07]

Uran just disappeared from the top 20 Henao 15th

damn- none of the Colombians are performing as expected

 

[Red Rick]

There's Betancur

 

[Hysminai]

Majka out of top 20 as well

 

[Red Rick]

Andy idea what the time limit is?

 

[RedheadDane]

Finally a day where it pays off to be a fat cyclist. Contador would have flown today.

A miracle Pozzovivo managed to stay on the bike then!

Lol, he's indeed good in bad weather normally

AC is better off staying away from such a ridiculous stage, temperature wise. Anyways, i don't think nibali, j-rod,valv has a chance in WCRR after this.

 

[Red Rick]

That was Majka, according to Wuyts & de Cauwer

 

[Arredondo]

Purito not really bad, just didn't have that little bit special. 3rd place in GC is possible though, will be a big fight with Piti.

Nibali a third GT? Likely so, although i really hope for Papa Chrissie!

What difference did this made? Don't be silly, unless they caught a pneumonia from this it won't make any difference

It's not great, but the whole Vuelta has had great weather before today, as it hasn't been too hot. I don't know about other weather predictions though

Can't wait 'till Horner turns 50 and is able to defeat Froome

If it wouldn´t be so sad it would be funny... well, Horner does a great job for the cynics. No wonder cycling can´t get rid of it´s bad reputation as long such absurd ******** performances are allowed.

What was Majka.

if they don't catch something, then i will be surprised/

 

[Arredondo]

André Cardoso is riding better, 14th on the stage. I really hope he can fight for a stage win in the coming stages.

Henao is a real mystery. He's riding absolutely horrific, he has to wait a couple of GT till he gets a leading role again.

 

[Red Rick]

What was Majka.

One of the tiny grupetto @ 22 minutes

 

[murali]

when you are trying to figure out what really happened for a long time after the stage has finished, you might have just witnessed a stage with massive CARNAGE!!!

No he doesn't. Henao was just too good, too early in the season. Sky's training doesn't work well everytime, that much is clear. By april Henao was one of the best scoring riders in the World Tour and CQ ranking... After that it was all downhill.

i think we need to wait for 10 min to figure out if any one has crossed time limit
