JJGracia said:Could someone explain why Valverde stopped when he was leaving everyone else behind? On Spanish TV they talked about front wing but it can't be true!

Legend.
Valverde messed up the whole raceroundabout said:It looked quite windy.
But anyway. Valverde messed up the whole stage. Not the last 3km.
EvansIsTheBest said:Barguil is great in this Vuelta. Kinds of reminds me of Freire in his cunning (obvious not the type of rider). Shame for Uran though, 3rd in Lombardia last year, 2nd in the Giro '13 and the Olympics, he is bound to win a big one soon surely.

That he seems to have arrived into the pro ranks with the racing brain of a wily veteran is all the more remarkable. He did Uran over there.

JJGracia said:OMG! He confirms on Spanish TV that it was too wind and too early!
Too early?????? 3 km from the top!! With this attitude he will never win a GC again...

Bushman said:22 seconds is a lot to lose in just about a km. Nibali was lucky that they didn't turn on the pace earlier.
Sagan in terms of winning stages. Quintana (was slightly older, Schleck was younger when he finished 2nd in the Giro though) in terms of climbing. So rather recent but not exactly bad companyZinoviev Letter said:When was the last time someone this young was this good at their first GT? It has to be quite a while.
right, he rather screwed up both racesRyo Hazuki said:I hope this silences for good the ridiculous claims that uran sold the os to vino
T-Nielsen said:If he had used his team better he could have fought for the win. But no, they ****ed it away with Katusha.
Taxus4a said:Barguil wasnt in the first breakaway as Urán, so he was less tired and he attacked in the right moment. Urán was the strongest today, but he played bad his options in the last km.
roundabout said:Katusha at least had Gusev pull Murito for a bit in the final.
