2013 Vuelta a España, Stage 8: Jerez de la Frontera → Alto Peñas Blancas (166 kms)

[roundabout]

That was kinda underwhelming.

Good to see Basso in form, but with a bazillion uphill finishes it did not look like the favs were giving it everything.

How far back was Horner?

 

[manafana]

glad i was with konig today to win, always had one in him good for net app too a team supporting him well.

 

[chiocciolis_calves]

Best form I've seen from Basso in several years. He just may wear everyone down by the third week.

 

[Bushman]

Pinot decent, but still not at 2012 Tour level.

 

[Kokoso]

kreuziger is out of GC contention.

he was 5:25 down

He never rode for GC I suppose.

 

[murali]

who was the sky rider who came first? henao?

 

[Afrank]

Allegedly.

But then again he also dropped his chain for a while on Montasio, but got it on immediately after.

Where'd you hear he dropped his chain?

Yup, thank God for Antón otherwise they'd probably have followed Busche's coattails to the final kilometre.

 

[chiocciolis_calves]

How far back was Horner?

I thought it was like 21 seconds.

 

[lemoogle]

Pinot decent, but still not at 2012 Tour level.

spent his whole time away from the main group checking behind, seems to me he just wanted to grapple a few seconds.

uran, placed 10th.

Mikkel Condé v2.0 ‏@mrconde 3m

Seems like Nibali dropped his chain with 1 km to go. Not confirmed yet though. #lavuelta

 

[jaylew]

Lol at those knocking moreno. He got maximum time gain for minimum effort. Smart riding

Agreed. Great ride by him.

And lol to you for being predictable and trying to stir.

Yes, airstream's trolling is so tiresome

 

[Netserk]

Where'd you hear he dropped his chain?

Danish television.

EDIT: But they probably got it from Conde.

 

[murali]

roche has 17 sec adv to horner and moreno.



have a strange feeling that katusha will be represented by moreno

Thanks, hopefully it is true, as that means his form might be better then today's results say.

Great ride by Basso,and Dani performs really good in this Vuelta.Pinot is my dark horse ftw

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Very dull today, then a very good last 5km.

Nice to see that Anton is alive. And good to see Pinot at the sharp end too. Net App looking great for a wildcard team.

Roche never held a jersey in a GT before as far as I know, but now I think he'll have held all of them at one point or another in this Vuelta.

 

[airstream]

It was laughable and tiresome how some people dared to compare Froome to Nibali.

 

[webvan]

Zubeldia still there in GC, wonder why he didn't pull for Horner?

The only thing tiresome is your constant trolling

amazing performance by him

Use your powers...

 

[Parrulo]

Anyway even if Nibali is still working on his form, currently he is still ahead of all top contenders and is the better time trialist so he is fine.
