2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 20: Avilés→Alto de L´Angliru (142 Km)

[Climbing]

It was a very nice battle to watch.
To cycle it... well i'll leave that pleasure to the riders!

 

[Descender]

Fun fact of the day: Horner is 20 years older than Elissonde.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Must say I don't believe this performance of Horner either.

 

[saneguy]

Epic epic day! What a ride by Chris Horner! Loved it. Killed Nibs totally. What a brilliant ride!

 

[webvan]

So about 35" now? Since Nibs was too tired to sprint for the 4" bonus.

Yep, should be 37"

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I finally found a rider I hate more than Froome and Wiggins

It has taken a long time

And i found one i hate more than LA. Unthinkable just 3 weeks ago.
What a circus the new era of cycling is... Whom they wanna sell this joke?

 

[alspacka]

I sincerely hope everyone cheering for Horner is attempting to be ironic/funny.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

one of the best duels in cycling in the recent years. Can't recall seeing something like this since Schleck-Contador.

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol nice one cineteq

Today I really admire Nibali,great fighting spirit

Ellisonde is a huge talent thats obvious

 

[BigMac]

Starting to get really tired of this ****. Oops, meant to place it Clininc.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Must say I don't believe this performance of Horner either.

But you believed Nibalis 6,4Watt/ Killo over 40 minutes in the Giro MTT right

 

[webvan]

one of the best duels in cycling in the recent years. Can't recall seeing something like this since Schleck-Contador.

Yep, or Armstrong/Ullrich in 2003 in the Tourmalet when Ullrich gapped him slightly...

 

[whittashau]

Honest question - can anyone here actually take this result seriously?

The Brits are buying, that's for sure.

 

[icefire]

When is the forum meltdown?

 

[cineteq]

Horner proved us wrong, he was indeed the best climber as he claimed few years ago. Nibali gave it all, and he still is the best rider of 2013.

 

[trevim]

Elissonde in tears when he crossed the line?

I would cry too if I had to climb the Angliru

 

[BroDeal]

The Horner Badger!

 

[Pharazon]

The Brits are buying, that's for sure.

When Horner cooks Froome in Le Tour 2014 and takes the overall win.

Probably not would be the honest answer by most..BUT.. not a discussion to be held in this thread please folks. You know where to go for that

 

[Christian]

Pretty good english by Elissonde too

Try and think of this as prime time sitcom. You may feel better
