2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 15: Andorra → Peyragudes (224.9 Km)

[GroupDK]

Nice tactic by saxo to get a "windhead" for roche on the downhill..

.
2) I need new glasses.

I hope not.

just automatically assumed like I think many people did that the number below the line is the number

Pinot attacked actually.

Yes, with Anton apparently.

 

[Flamin]

Pinot attacked actually.

Yes, I missed it apparently.

 

[Descender]

Descent mudda****as!

 

[The Hitch]

This is what I had hoped from Saxo in the Tour

 

[skidmark]

Basso ruined Liquigas's record of finishing 12 out of the last 13 gts with 9 men.

Didn't Boivin abandon last week? I thought he did and I noted it in passing for the same reason you state.

 

[Descender]

Let's not forget Roche still has Majka up front...

 

[Orbit501]

Smart move by Saxo with Majka still up the road. At worse it will give Roche a bit of a buffer on the final climb so he hopefully doesn't lose too much time again.

 

[GroupDK]

Roche/Zaugg + 1 minute to Nibali Group..

oh ok. Basso is forgiven then.

 

[Popchu]

Is there a chance that someone of the chasing group could make it? Some very strong riders (Arroyo, Majka, Landa, ...) and it has been a very long day for Geniez...

edit: nope, 3:30

 

[Netserk]

Kiserlovski pulling the Nibali group.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nice to see Roche really giving it a go rather than just holding on like grim death and trying to limit losses.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Looks like less than 25 riders in the Nibali group.

3.30 is a lot to make up

 

[Frosty]

Did Henao get dropped by the chase group? Sky's twitter mentions Uran in the GC group - if Henao was still in front they would mention it i would have thought.

He was a few hundred metres behind the Scarponi group when the tv coverage started

 

[Descender]

Awesome descent Cardoso.

 

[Parrulo]

Awesome descent Cardoso.

one and a half minutes. . . . absolutely pathetic really

 

[Popchu]

3.30 is a lot to make up

I know, but I didn't know the gap when I wrote that.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Papy will go again. He'll like the weather is gettin better.

 

[Parrulo]

What the hell is FdJ doing pushing the favourites group.

 

[SafeBet]

Geniez up front and FdJ pulling the peloton?

 

[The Blues]

Cance in the front group... :O
