[Flamin]

Roche also with Froome..

 

[Ruby United]

Froome 1:30 back, race over for Sky

Re:

Froome will be back.

Maybe if he let Savoldelli descend instead of him.

Re: Re:

Wonder how taxus will spin this

He always has Landa.

Sure, lets ignore the hard fall Froome suffered on this stage....

Re: Re:

Dawg back at 2010 level?

Naah, not getting pulled by the car, so not quite. pre Vuelta 2011 perhaps

Legend.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Tinkoff just aren't good enough in the mountains, it was the same in TdF.

It's a shame, cause Contador and Majka could perform better, if their helpers could match those on Sky, Movistar and not least Astana.

Ok we will.

Froome
Well he still might win the stage

I won't believe he is done until it's the finish line. It's much to soon to write him off......

 

[yespatterns]

Dawg will probably dnf, the rate of time being bled is sad now.

 

[sir fly]

Will Froome stay in the race?

No one expected Majka to have any help in the mountains when the team was announced - was obvious

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I count only 19 guys in that Astana led group.

I hope someone attacks on the cat.2 climb or on the bottom of the mtf. I want to see some action today

I thought they bought Kiserlovski on for this exact reason but he hasn't started a single GT ? Not entirely sure what's up there.

Where is Henao?

 

[Red Rick]

Were those guys screaming ARU at Landa?

Re: Re:

There is at least one sky rider still in the lead group, could well be him - didn't see him in the Froome group.

Re: 2015 Vuelta Stage 11: Andorra la Vella>Cortals d'Encamp

I think Froome will catch the peloton but loose contact on Gallina...or he returns to termo nuclear mode and wins the stage
edit: and I think much will depend on the question if it will start raining

Correct prediction.

 

[Squirbos_19]

I think nieve is still with the favourites

 

[70kmph]

Eurosport getting out their violins now

 

[Eyeballs Out]

This could be a hellish descent although the rain seems to have eased off

 

[Carols]

Re: Re:

Froome starting the yo yo?

I've seen Froome do that unlike anyone else on the last climb of the day, but if there's one thing I have never seen it's someone who gets dropped on the third last climb and then doesn't lose time at the end of things. Most of the time it means losing 15 minutes.

I've seen this guy do things I've never seen in watching 50+ years. But it is looking bleak right now....

It's Nieve I think, with his wrestling a bear climbing style

Should be Silent Nieve

They were saying "Vamoos, vamoos!"
