2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 3: Vigo - Mirador de Lobeira 184.8 Km

Team did a great job setting up Horner before the climb.

Nice tactical attack.

this is confusing.....

bad vuelta. first they don't say clearly how many groups were formed. then no clarity on the stage result. now changing the results very frequently.

 

[Broth3r]

give the man credit, when he deserves it.

They can't. Horner isn't a Cyclingnews Clean™ rider.

This is not Clinic. Those who want to complain about him being not clean could take it up in clinic.



any chance for roche to retain top-5, or will he be thrown out in the next big stage?
also, where is fugslang?

 

[Alphabet]

I'm really missing Harmon's commentary . I can't be doing with Kirby's shouting and general carrying on.

 

[Miburo]

why is there so much being said about horner.

he is a good oppurtunist. he assessed what was happening in the back, and timed his charge perfectly.

give the man credit, when he deserves it.

Not only as a rider.

Bring back Phil and Paul, not Harmon. Kirby's great but his shouting is to cover up lack of info. Either the camera shots don't identify the rider or he can't identify them. I believe all commentators should undergo "rider identification boot camp". When they make too many mistakes, somebody hits them with a boot. I think this would improve the general standard.

papy horner : "i think i can win the vuelta" _O_

that's the spirit!

Can't see Roche maintaining a top 5 in GC, he'd need a number of people to crash out.
Fugslang is likely tired from the Tour and is only here to work for Nibali anyways.

 

[roundabout]

The coverage of the final today was horrible though.

On the contrary, I was taking a shot at the senseless, baseless innuendo some "people" like to throw around.

Perhaps "not approved by the Cyclingnews High Scientific Council" would have transmitted my sarcasm better.

 

[therhodeo]

Bring back Phil and Paul.

Worst idea ever.

 

[rantanplan]

Nibali can suffer a lot tomorrow if Purito attacks in Ezaro with Moreno... In my opinion is the most dangerous stage for the italian.

I like that better.
i didn't get the sarcasm part first. had to revisit the trademark post to figure it out.



Is it possible for the organizers to come up with some RFID like tag to keep track of the racers? Technology is there, expertise is there; i think these guys are not just interested in spending money. they are not even making money the right way. ppl like me would have paid for watching this, if they had just broadcast it on TV. Wake up organizers!

 

[roundabout]

Even though there looked to be a bit of a gap before Zubeldia, Nibali gets same time as Valverde

 

[lemoogle]

What happened to betancur?
I couldnt watch. How come he's minutes off the pace.

Thats why i said they dont want to use technology to keep track of delays.

He already stated that he is here for training for the worlds and to help Pozzovivo if he can.

 

[Descender]

Horner gave today the best interview of all time. A sort of amalgamation of Spanish, French and Italian with an American flavour.

Came to post this. Legendary interview.

 

[JRanton]

So Barguil got mixed up with Rensburg again on the results sheet for a second day in a row, to go along with a number of other mistakes.

Whoever is in charge of posting the results for this Vuelta should be shot.

I fear what you would do with Giro organizers.

There we have to wait at least 1 hour for more than Top 10 to appear...

Honestly, you should be banned for saying something that stupid. All three of those commentators are complete twits.
