[BeagRigh]

Adam Hansen (Lotto-Belisol), Nikias Arndt (Giant-Shimano), Bob Jungels (Trek Factory Racing) and Dominica Nerz (BMC)

Probably botd. Hansen for the stage win?

 

[jens_attacks]

I'm caught in traffic probably won't make it
to watch today stage
Vamos Balaaaaaaa!

 

[Arredondo]

And breakaway has reeled in.

 

[BeagRigh]

Good break, thing they should contest for the stage.

Izagirre in there to allow Movistar to rest up? Wonder if they will try to loan out the jersey today.

Average speed => 48.6 Km/h.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Finally some proper racing at the Vuelta.
Hopefully this doesn't fizzle out.

 

[Arredondo]

Froome drops because he feels the effects of his crash earlier this stage!

We have a race!!

 

[Arredondo]

Tinkoff now sets the pace at the front.

Froome in second group!

God, i want images

 

[No_Balls]

Froome dropped?

 

[cineteq]

God, i want images

Not until 16:00CET. Fuente De deja vu?

 

[Arredondo]

Perhaps.

Looks quite bad to Froome, if he loses more then 1 minute due pace setting by Tinkoff-guys.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Poor Froomey

 

[Arredondo]

42 seconds now. Looks like Froome is going to get back.

 

[TANK91]

Unreal 100 plus kms left and a team has set pace when a rival crashes. That never happens maybe towards end but not at the start. I have actually secretly supported Alberto since the Tour but if this is true forget it.

 

[No_Balls]

Looks as if its 27 seconds down. He is catching.

Do you know he as droped because of an earlier crash?? Bad signs if that is the case, but please do tell me how this means we have a race? Maybe so your boy Purito may actually podium?

This is cycling. It happened with AC in the tour too, astana started to go hard. That's just how it is.

You gotta stay on your bike or they'll screw you over.

You must be kidding me dude Astana waited for quite a while i maybe wrong but im not sure their were more than 100 kms left either.

 

[Cimber]

He is back in the peloton now

No they didn't

And I think Froome dropped out of peloton because of the fall, not just caught behind because of it

 

[Miburo]

Anyway froome is back, no clue though what exactly happened

 

[Miburo]

No they didn't

Oh yea they were chasing after the big GC danger that is called Kwiatkowski

Like i said, i don't mind, that's how this sport works.

I'm not saying i agree with the fact they are riding. I just say that at that particular moment, we had a race.

What's wrong with that?
