2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 6: Guijuelo → Cáceres (175 km)

I can't believe Cancellara dragged the sprinters up to Martin.

Mørkøv Yaaaaaaayyyyyy !!!! Dannebrog looks good.

Tony

What a shame.

Martin's effort was awesome.

 

[Descender]

Well, so much work for nothing, but honestly it was obvious that it would end this way, simply not a very smart move of Tony

Many qualifiers occur to me that would apply to this post, and all of them would get me banned.

For any other rider it would have ended far sooner. What an effort in holding off the entire peloton as they set up their sprinters.

So unlucky Tony! I really thought he had that with 200 metres to go... just 10 metres too many.

 

[spalco]

That was much closer than I would've thought. Hats off to Tony.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Gutted for Tony, but that one of the most defiant rides in the cycling in a long time

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cancellara decides to **** it up for Martin

I would be willing to bet he was just doing it for training for the World Championships and not expecting to have a reasonable shot at the stage win.

A typical heartless person would say this

 

[Bavarianrider]

Cancellara, why?????

 

[Ferminal]

Kirby gutted, great call.

No, it was an epic performance, but honestly it simply was an impossible mission.

Wow my heart is crying for Martin! It's a shame Cancellara decided he would get involved in a sprint just today. And Morkov what the hell?! I know the sprint field is a bit thin but this is extreme...

Rasmussen got rid of most of the sprinters from the very front of the bunch. So it was a strange crowd contesting it.

 

[Pricey_sky]

I can't believe Cancellara dragged the sprinters up to Martin.

He didn't drag anyone, he finished 3rd and he believed he could win. It's just a real shame as Tony nearly held on.

I can't believe Cancellara dragged the sprinters up to Martin.

Does he not like Martin or something?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Kirby gutted, great call.

at least his gut doesn't contain a helmet.

 

[brilleaben]

At least Cance didn't win

 

[brilleaben]

Does he not like Martin or something?

He doesn't like people who are better than him in general

 

[dicanio_michael]

**** you Cancellara, what is this for ?
You knew you would not win anything

 

[Parrulo]

Well and this is the second stage win of the Vuelta for saxo.

Pretty good after a disappointing Tour.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

btw - fantastic excitement at the end.

Cancellara acted like a jealous SOB!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I'm as disappointed as everyone else that Martin didn't win, but Cancellara's move was one that gave him a legitimate chance to win. The sprinters were dying after Rasmussen and Cancellara did their turns on the front.
