[Pharazon]

49 seconds now it says

To my horror Vasil looks a bit like Voeckler when he starts pulling faces

that's blasphemy!!

Long live Voeckler and his faces

 

[T-Nielsen]

With the exception of Saxo, no GC rider or sprinter has had much team help this entire race. There's an attack... and then it stays away.

Thats almost poetry.

 

[Asturiano]

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Kiryienka has this in the bag now.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Chase group back up to six.

 

[murali]

now its 6 chasers instead of 3, and guess who is there? The great Mr. Break TXURRUKA

also are Kohler and Van Rensburg

 

[Pharazon]

Kiryienka has this in the bag now.

he might have burnt himself on the flat

 

[hfer07]

kiry to pull another solo victory- great
Now lets see what's going down for the GC players

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Why is Van Rensburg in this break anyway? Was he worried about the time limit? Presumably not, given that he's still with some very good climbers. So what's he at?

 

[Cyivel]

Gap @ 1'10

Kiryienka has this in the bag now.

I wouldn't be so sure. Six chasing and the climb to go

 

[Gloin22]

They split as climb starts, so if they dont catch him on the flat, doubt he'll be caught.

 

[murali]

jrod moving from back of peloton to front with a team mate.

he might attack today.

Laura Meseguer on tv again yayy!!

Laura is on Eurosport every day, multiple interviews per day. And her cameraman always keeps her on-screen. You gotta switch to the ES coverage if you wanna see your great love more often

perhaps thats the only plus point of eurosport.

is 6 min enough for kiri?

 

[Flamin]

Yawn. Would have liked the big boys to battle it out for the stage win.

He will have used much more energy out in front alone so will be more tired when he hits the climb

 

[Gloin22]

Hes far superior rider to anyone in the break though

 

[brilleaben]

Kiry is cooked. But that has never stopped him.

 

[roundabout]

Hes far superior rider to anyone in the break though

CAS would probably gain a bit of time on the last climb, but at 1.30 it is likely not to be enough

 

[murali]

the chasers are slowing down a bit. gap is a min and half, and peloton at 6. CAS may have extra duty today, by the looks of it.


Kiri wins, unless something goes worng

 

[melkemugg]

Eurosport more concern about sky worship than watching the race.

 

[murali]

He will have used much more energy out in front alone so will be more tired when he hits the climb

give some credit to kiri. He is one of the integral members of the sky train. this guy is capable of pulling a peloton easily over cat 1 and HC climbs on his own.

plus kiri has said earlier that he liked vuelta better than tour.

Do shutup Carlton
