2014 Vuelta a Espana, Stage 11: Pamplona - Santuario de San Miguel de Aralar 153.4KM

[Der Effe]

Sadly, I had them in my CQ game

I just hope that the race organizers take this seriously.

Yeah maybe they can forbid GC riders to crash

 

[ILovecycling]

Reported broken collarbone near right shoulder.
End of season I guess.

Cycling is tough thing to follow.

Contador took the first intermediate sprint?

14:53La ambición de Contador

Alberto CONTADOR (201) ha atacado en el primer Sprint Intermedio de la jornada situado en Tafalla.

EDIT:

Intermediate sprint

Results in Tafalla (km 59) :

1. Alejandro VALVERDE (151)
2. Alberto CONTADOR (201)
3. Ivan ROVNY (206)

 

[Der Effe]

leading group supposedly includes: Cataldo, Kennaugh, Nieve, Contador, Rovny, Arredondo, Landa, Brown, Frohlinger, Tschopp, Kolobnev, Trofimov, Amador.

Graeme Brown? If so, he's probably still on the parcours because of last years edition.

I wonder what cineteq will say about this?

Km 59:
En el esprint intermedio de Tafalla ataca ¡el líder Contador!

 

[Netserk]

Three riders have taken a small lead over the peloton : Johan LE BON (94), Peio BILBAO (54) and Vasil KIRYIENKA (195).

I wonder what cineteq will say about this?

Must be desperate competing for sprint bonus's

 

[trevim]

So..... Can we have a break now please?

 

[No_Balls]

Well, he aint prepared to give away the jersey. Thats for sure

 

[wirral]

Froome started this nonsense.

 

[ILovecycling]

its pointless,valverde climbing is poor,Alberto will destroy him in last week.only thing what was hope for was quintana climbing,thats gone,now only froome revival would be interesting.

at least I hope for some sick attacks (watts,vam) from Berto to have something for fun.

 

[metaCYCLE]

Sadly Bouet also joins the select group of DNFs today. Sux...
Edit: add Pinot to that.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Another GT stage for Kiry's collection.

 

[maltiv]

Historically, Sky riders being allowed to go on the attack basically means that Froome has given up the GC.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Historically, Sky riders being allowed to go on the attack basically means that Froome has given up the GC.

Well, we don't have a lot of data points from which to draw much conclusion here, especially at the GT level.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Was Contador allone out there in front or did he just sit in Bennas wheel.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Historically, Sky riders being allowed to go on the attack basically means that Froome has given up the GC.

A bridgehead for an historic epic reversal of fortune - perhaps.

 

[perico]

And in less shocking news, Thibaut Pinot abandons.

 

[MBotero]

A bridgehead for an historic epic reversal of fortune - perhaps.

Last try in Dauphine ended in a disaster,but maybe is better then hoping every day that Froome will improve and be a contender

 

[murali]

wonder why bad news never comes alone:

LaVuelta abandons of the day:
Steve MORABITO (BMC)
Nairo Quintana (Movistar)
Maxime BOUET (AG2R)
Thibaut PINOT (FDJ.fr)

I think this vuelta is going TdF's way.

Is it too much to ask for a good GT in a year
