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

[Descender]

Kirby - Geniez was 4th on the grand bornand, which is one of the major climbs of the Tour de France this year.

Oficial cycling commentator everyone.

Something is very wrong with our sport

Haha tell me he did not say that.

 

[Parrulo]

Gilbert also DNF?

How many dnf's today?

 

[webvan]

Why is Saxo drilling it ? Ah no, it's just CAS, he just can't help himself ;-)

Looks like Pinot will try something today...

 

[Descender]

Yes.
Interesting. Col du Col de Bales.

Col du Port de Balés, that's how it's announced on the Vuelta website.

 

[Orbit501]

Tomasz Marczynski abandoned as well

 

[The Hitch]

ofc. I think we might open a thread about it in General... if someone wants to do it feel free

Exact same thing happened during some race a few years ago. It all got moved to a general language discussion thread.

[McLovin]

Col du Port de Balés, that's how it's announced on the Vuelta website.

And Port means?

 

[Afrank]

Tomasz Marczynski abandoned as well

Their dropping like fly's. How many abandons is that now?

Weather doesn't even look that bad at the moment.

Taking a look through that thread, looks like its a few of the usual suspects

Gilbert also DNF?

9 confirmed. one, went to doctor, but no confirmation that he abandoned or not.

still 5 less than yest.

incidentally, the only team with no abandonments so far are:
Astana, Caja Rural, and Euskatel.

 

[Parrulo]

Was that an 11km to the top sign?

 

[Popchu]

Cancellara

.

 

[roundabout]

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

1k to go is what I saw.

 

[Descender]

And Port means?

Mountain pass.

1km........

 

[Orbit501]

Nicolas Edet work done for the day then, KoM jersey secured. Can't place him in any of the groups now. Anyone any ideas?

 

[The Hitch]

Why are Saxo working?

 

[the sceptic]

Looking forward to see Cancellara winning the 2014 tour

He will be hard to drop in the worlds at least

 

[McLovin]

Mountain pass.

Yes, that's col.

 

[murali]

And Port means?

from what i have learned so far, a hill is called port, peurto, col, colla, passo.

don't ask me what languages they are. i don't know.

I think we should have a general thread for this though.

 

[Descender]

Top is at 24km to the finish according to the official stage profile.

 

[Netserk]

Why are Saxo working?

Roche just attacked
