[Roderick]

Valverde proving himself as the biggest joke in the peloton

 

[classicomano]

Van Rensburg.

Yeah I was wondering who that Argos rider was.

 

[Netserk]

Did Valverde, Purito and Ulissi(?) get a gap on the group?

Apparently they did.

[roundabout]

Scarponi got gapped.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Rensburg to top 10 this Vuelta

 

[il_cobra]

rensburg for new efimkin

 

[all_in]

Henao imploded on that false flat part.I didn't expect that.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Betancurt/Henao collective fail.
Uran the only Colombian left standing

 

[hfer07]

Today reality hits SKY-- Uran was always the one to keep while Sergio needs more years to develop

 

[hrotha]

Ivan Basso the Uphill Sprinter.

[Libertine Seguros]

I've just seen a tweet that reports it was Warren Barguil, not Reinardt Janse van Rensburg, which might be slightly less surprising I guess.

 

[Ferminal]

Almost as surprising.

I have absolutely no idea why there was only one sky rider in the final selection. What happened to the likes of Kiriyenka and Cataldo? Sky as a team were vulnerable in tour too...

Perhaps someone stole their pillows?

 

[roundabout]

Almost as surprising.

How dare you?

Suggest that an Avenir winner being there is as surprising as a fat sprinter

Something is not right. Henao more than 5 minutes down since he's not there in first 50?

 

[SafeBet]

Ivan Basso the Uphill Sprinter.

Tells a lot about his form. I'll repeat myself, serious podium contender.

 

[Roderick]

He definately looked like Barguil too, so I'm pretty sure it was barguil

 

[roundabout]

Marczynski the best VAC. Unless of course someone changed bikes.
