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

[webvan]

Carnage...hypothermia for Basso, for LLS too :-( Looks like VV is bonking too...

Pinot still there though in spite of the horrid weather and descents.

Pinot attacking ?

 

[il_cobra]

valverde turns to completely joke

 

[Flamin]

Pinot group already caught it seems?

 

[trevim]

CN ticker says Valverde got dropped when he stopped for a natural break??? Seems odd.

It's not odd. It's typical Valverde.

God dammit Basso! He had a great chance for a high overall placing. And I had him on my CQ team!

he better have good reason to abandon.

the worst thing is that he was the contributer to the best team, 3 times.

he seemed to have so much promise.

 

[Rollthedice]

This stage is only for the strong.

 

[Red Rick]

Sharks are naturally cold blooded

Any info on where philgil is?

 

[Marco Pantani]

That's bad news with Ivan, really disappointing.
Ratto very funny btw.

 

[murali]

It's not odd. It's typical Valverde.

if he losees time, then he will be truly ****ed off, esp after wht happened in TdF

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It's not odd. It's typical Valverde.

Rain jacket, Suancés 2008. Looks like the return of the tactical bumbling idiot Valverde that we all know and love.

 

[Broth3r]

Holy ****, Thibaut.

 

[Rollthedice]

Valverde looks finished.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Will Katusha and Astana turns the screws on Valverde?

 

[murali]

This stage is only for the strong.

i am thinking of all the one day classics that gt screwed by the late winter.

 

[Descender]

Descents mudda****as!

 

[ILovecycling]

Pinot descending like a boss

Valverde looks cooked lol

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

My man T-bone Peanuts is right up there. He's been practicing the descent!

 

[jsem94]

Holy ****, Thibaut.

Wasn't it a fear of speed? Maybe not so much a fear of wet surface, lol.

 

[murali]

if ratto takes the win, it will be his first stage victory for cannondale.


also, second stage victory in his entire carreer

 

[Red Rick]

Pinot is only afraid when it's dry

 

[il_cobra]

piti doing great job for horner's podium chances

 

[Beech Mtn]

Descents mudda****as!

You ought to change your avatar to a pic of Ratto descending unclipped

Damn, Eurosport, another ad break? Already?

 

[trevim]

Let's hope Thibaut doesn't crash although he seems to be taking it easy.

 

[Parrulo]

Seems like the articles saying that Pinot's fear of descending were and ON/OFF thing were absolutely right.

He is behaving like a proper man today

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Watching Valverde suffer on the bike warms my hater heart.
