2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 16: Graus→Sallent de Gállego. Aramón Formigal (147 Km)

[Zinoviev Letter]

He is a good climber and an ok finisher. I am not sure why he went so early

Probably because he's a 21 year old neo pro with sky-high confidence right now. Inexperience.

Barguil is having a fantastic Grand Tour debut for a 21 year old neo pro.

Would be pretty awesome if he could survive to take the win today. Even if he's caught though, he's really been confirming the potential he showed with his Avenir win. He's confirming that potential very quickly into the pro tour as well, that's pretty cool to see.

 

[roundabout]

I would have expected the team car to choose a less risky strategy.

Looking ok for now though

Great panache too.

France has some very promising young climbers: Pinot, Bardet and Barguil. And the great thing is that they're all very attacking minded. Elissonde is worth mentioning as well, though he hasn't shown as much as the others just yet.

Afterall, this means that France may perhaps get a new GC rider. A serious one, no offense Pinot and Rolland...

Here is hoping they actually deliver this time.

Barguil, what a beast.

Bardet is possibly one. Very good downhill, good stamina, good recovery. TT is the only real weak spot

 

[murali]

barguil is maintianing his gap. i think it is win no 2 for him.

intelligent move by him

 

[roundabout]

Uran is coming up. With Nerz it seems

 

[SafeBet]

I'm not sure he's gonna make it. Uran might catch him.

 

[max_powers]

The Warren to The B !

Time to regulate

 

[Descender]

This is what happens when you plan a gazillion MTFs. It deprives them of relevance.

 

[roundabout]

Should be enough if he doesn't explode

 

[murali]

where is CAS?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Very nice victory for Barguil! What a GT debut he's having!

 

[murali]

barguil adjusted something in his shoes. I hope it is not some cause of concern. he still has 2.1km to go

 

[Cyivel]

Pace has been upped!

 

[Afrank]

Valverde attacks.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Radioactive explosion from Uran Uran.. Nooo plz dont let Sky win...

 

[Red Rick]

[murali]

[Cyivel]

[Geraint Too Fast]

Pointless attack.
