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

[search]

that calculation is based on a 34 km/h average, not the speed to that point of the race

Eurosport starts 15:00cet, I think we should be able to watch the last couple of km of the climb

Edit: btw, it looks like TDP is showing the election for IOC presideny instead of the Vuelta, and on Sporza there is Paris - Brussel first, no idea when that's supposed to finish.

that's what i was talking about, aren't they going to be faster than that, since the first part is flat/downhill?

 

[wirral]

It's raining at the start.

 

[murali]

will rain increase the chance for the break?

 

[Rollthedice]

I doubt Katusha and Movi will allow for a break to succeed. Purito especially needs the bonus for stage win, if he can do it.

 

[Netserk]

will rain increase the chance for the break?

Yes.

 

[search]

are there any news about Valverde?

 

[murali]

gilbert is in the break. Chainel, ratto, ll sanchez and brown.


i think they will be caught in the first climb.

 

[icefire]

The break is starting the first climb 10:35 ahead of the bunch

 

[trevim]

Start of Port d' Envalira, 26.7 km @ 5.2%
This one would suit me like a glove. I guess I'll have to stop by the Pyrenees sooner or later and check it out

 

[roundabout]

Rooting for the break to get another 15 minutes

 

[Parrulo]

Seems like some third tier contenders really missed the chance to get into the top 10 today

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Gilbert Ratto & Sanchez have finished Brown(@2.10) with Chainel hanging on at 24secs.

 

[murali]

i think we might be able to see the peloton climb the first summit.

my calc says 23 min for live video

santoromita and scarponi chose the wrong day to join a break.

 

[manafana]

ll sanchez to be kom for some time so?

i think gilbert may take it, unless it is given away as a gift.

6 ppl will get kom points. i think roche will try for the last point.

heard that the summit is very cold.

So far,
1. Most of the Sky domestiques have tried the breaks.
2. They have allowed Scarponi and the likes to join breaks

I wanted Henao to get some minutes back now that he's no danger for the GC, just wishful thinking, I know.

henao might still do it after the climb. i expect another break from the peloton.

[roundabout]

Hmm, and suddenly down to 40 riders in the main group

 

[manafana]
