2014 Vuelta a Espana, Stage 12: Logroño → Logroño (166 Km)

[TourOfSardinia]

Surely all the gaps will get neutralised between GC contenders,

Bennati finished 24 seconds ahead of Contador

Those gaps will all be neutralised when the 3km provision overrules the automatic timing.

I know. I just found it interesting that Bennati motored along without making sure Contador was behind him.

 

[wirral]

Richeze had three fights in a row there and lost them all, as Boonen, Guarnieri and Sagan passed him

Yes, maybe that is how he gets his kicks. If he can't win or follow then he will get stuck in. However he picked the wrong three to have a go at!

That stage couldn't have been much worse.

I'm just reading this thread, didn't even watch the stage, and I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[ILovecycling]

I didnt watch,I hope everybody is ok.
Grats to Degenkolb,dissapointing Sagan.

Was Bouhanni bad positioned?

How did Alberto increase his lead over Valverde? Or is this some artifact of the crash that hasn't been corrected?

EDIT: It was the latter and has been corrected.

So... this stage was actually more interesting in 2012.

Wow.

looks like this stage has finally passed the rest day for number of posts.

"It went pretty good. It was a really, really boring stage. Eight laps, one guy in the breakaway, so I got to catch up with a lot of guys," Gesink said with a laugh. "Days like this, I don't know why they put them in the race. They are not that interesting for us. It was very dangerous in the end. There was a big crash, for us it's about not losing time. Sometimes you have to mix it up with the sprinters, it can be scary. It was another day done, and on to the next one."

Hear hear.

I probably missed it, but when did Degenkolb crash? Obviously didn't affect him yesterday, but just curious.

I wonder if Froome is trying to be a friend with AC,or pretend to be a friend,or doesnt pretend anything and trying to look for journous.
From his book it looks like he almost hates him,so I wonder how is their relationship

What does Froome say about Contador in his book?

I mean his style of expression is not friendly at all.
