2014 Vuelta a Espana, stage 7: Alhendín-Alcaudete (169 km)

[Dr. Juice]

1 group is 2 minutes behind the peleton. The fact they show it means someone at least half important must be in there.

Irish humour is the best in the world hands down.

Born and raised in Birmingham. He's about as much an Irishman as Froome is English.

Lol at Kirby admitting his Quintana/Bala rivalry chat is completely groundless.

 

[Hugo87]

Nieve

10 char

I think he's back at front group.

Nieve

That means they can't use him anymore as a joker. He looked quite good yesterday.

EDIT: now back

arredondo still not at his racing weight.

Lampre riding for Pozzato or what? That would be a hell of a comeback!

Looks to me like yesterday's Garmin ride for Dan Martin

What's the gap? Been watching Eurosport for 15 minutes with no mention of it, visual or spoken.
Di Marchi to rinse Ryder at the end hopefully

If they come back, who are the favorites in the peloton? I really don't know what we have to expect from these last kilometres.

Do DS' really put their team on the front for no other reason than to punish them for being rubbish, as Kirby seems to keep speculating?

It happens quite a lot

 

[Dr. Juice]

Lampre and Trek going pretty hard but the breakaway doesn't lose much time. Hesjedal and De Marchi are 2 fighters - not easy to break their resistance.

 

[roundabout]

Pretty ridiculous to see the gap being stable despite a good chase behind

Yeah that happens sometimes. Also returning gifts to other teams.

 

[ILovecycling]

looks like they are going to make it

the thing is the chase is not good.

A tweet reported a crosswind section with 14k to go? Is this the case?
