2014 Vuelta Stage 3: Cadiz - Arcos de la Frontera

[Cance > TheRest]

Contador didn't look good at all.

He looked much better than expected. Afterall he isn't determined on GC

Contador didn't look good at all.

Give me one stage where Contador ever looked good on a uphill sprint like that?

 

[Afrank]

Nice effort by Martin there. Good signs for the rest of the Vuelta, just stay on your bike Dan.

10. Froome

Nice win by Matthews..Dan Martin timed it right but Matthews was just too strong

Who said earlier in this topic Kelderman wasn't a name to consider? Guess he was wrong, nice 4th place above more favorited names.
Gesink also good btw

 

[Miburo]

Froome looked good. Can't judge purito since this stuff is for him although not steep enough otherwise easy win

 

[b.broadhurst]

Where was Valverde?

Weird mixture.

Contador was alone for the last 5 kms. He still maintained fourth wheel up until the last 700m.

 

[Afrank]

Matthews in red by 4 seconds over Nairo and 11 over Piti.

 

[arvc40]

Contador doing a great job considering

 

[Dr. Juice]

Where was Valverde?

Lost 7 seconds to Quintana who was in the first group.

Contador didn't look good at all.

Come on give him a break, he's probably riding with a semi-healed fracture and I'm not even a fan.

No last man brought him to 3km mark

Stage 4 (I think it was from memory) 2011 tour, the one he lost by a hairs breath to Evans in a uphill sprint. It was a bit harder than this though.

 

[Miburo]

Can't wait for thursday, katusha has to go crazy. Those are the stages purito can take time on.

Dont give Contador and froome time to get better.

That stage on that climb (tour2011) was way tougher than this and not many great uphill sprinters were there.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Zubeldia in the top 10 already. A tactical error I think.

 

[Netserk]

Purito 3rd, get's boni seconds.

Really good sprint by him, on a finish that is not really suited to him.

Not suited to Purito, but where Dan Martin got 2nd?

 

[Afrank]

He who must not be noticed already doing his thing I see.

Mur de Bretagne is uncomparable to this today. MUCH harder climb

 

[Fzotrlool]

Where was Valverde?

I've heard that he went down along with Malori and Castroviejo.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Stage 4 (I think it was from memory) 2011 tour, the one he lost by a hairs breath to Evans in a uphill sprint. It was a bit harder than this though.

That was because he had lost a minute and half on the clusterf*ck that was stage one.

 

[Stromeon]

Zubeldia into the top 10 already without being seen
