2014 Vuelta al País Vasco, stage 5: Eibar > Markina-Xemein 160km

[Jelantik]

ufff... tdf contador needs more than just one kreuziger if he wants to contest Froome and sky. 30km still.. he only left with kreuziger.

 

[Miburo]

Kirby just said kwiatkowski isn't as good in ITT as valverde/contador. And he wasn't referring to a hilly ITT.

I hope i heard that wrong

 

[LaFlorecita]

Just Roman and Berto for Tinkoff left.

 

[EnacheV]

Sky is so bad that their man was dropped from a 18 man break away

Doesn't really matter, valverde needs to drop Contador. It all comes down to that.

Yea, Sky is the worst team ever, right? They have never won anything significant.

 

[movingtarget]

Yeah but can't see why they would have been so passive yesterday if they're interested in anything but keeping their spots.
Outrageous reading the cn article today, what are 3 premium cyclists like samu, tj & evans doing aiming for top 10?

Who aims for top 10 except maybe in a GT. Either they expect to do well in the TT or they will have to try something. The TT will be a lottery anyway with so many riders so close together. Cunego won't be up there cause he can't TT. TJVG and Evans can but so can Contador and Valverde. Too bad the first stage was not today's stage that would have been more exciting

 

[Flamin]

Attack from Jungels.

 

[Jelantik]

movistar is on fire!!!

 

[TommyPlus]

Was thinking maybe on the penultimate descent.

Fair enough pal, decent debate

He said earlier that he was good but with Kirby who can tell ?

 

[Flamin]

Break shattered. Jungels, Wellens and Mollema in front.

When television was first created, there's a reason they added a mute button. Listen to Kirby talking for 60 seconds or even 30, and you'll understand what that reason is.

 

[BigMac]

Costa dropped already. Pathetic.

 

[Flamin]

At the top:

Jungels, Wellens, Mollema

+25" peloton

 

[TommyPlus]

Come on TGBM

 

[trevim]

Velasco didn't look great to me, we'll see on the last climb.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

anyone spot Cunego?

 

[BigMac]

anyone spot Cunego?

I think I saw him. Near the front behind the small Tinkoff train. Without any teammates.

 

[trevim]

Jungels hasn't been taking descending lessons from the Schlecks, that's for sure. Mollema on the other hand...

Kreuziger counts for all Skybots. Anyway, Contador thinks he needs nobody to help.

Jungels is the best thing for trek. Maybe andy should be super domestique deluxe for jungels.

 

[Flamin]

Jungels looks perfect on a bike.

 

[Jelantik]

Kreuziger counts for all Skybots. Anyway, Contador thinks he needs nobody to help.

I wish that was right. But not. Sky got a strong super domestique deluxe. Contador NEEDS his team mate to battle Froome. I wish i can say he didn't. But .. not conviced.

 

[BigMac]

Mollema has this in the bag.
