2015 Vuelta Stage 11: Andorra la Vella>Cortals d'Encamp 138k

[Red Rick]

Froome isn't dumb enough to go over threshold right now

 

[70kmph]

Everyone else has crash 3 times already...

 

[The Hitch]

Stages like this have been so disapointing in recent times that I can't get excited for it. It makes me sick thinking about all those absolute dud stages in the past where riders just settled for their top 10s.

I'd rather another 200k flat + mtf cos at least those you know what you are in for.

 

[Billie]

half the Giant team dropped already

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Froome seemed to be holding his hip when he got up

Re:

I bet he's thinking now 'what am I doing here, screw this Vuelta'. DNF in the making imo.

I don't think that's the way Froome thinks. I've never really seen a reason to see him mentally that weak. Not at all.

Re:

Froome will not finish the stage

Agree he does not look great

 

[webvan]

Reminds of the Flandis 2006 stage, gonne be carnage at all levels !

He's not Wiggins

Froome still far behind. I don't like him but thats not how I want a rider to loose time. Lets hope he catches the other favorites again

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Still a very long way to go for Froome.

Think it is over 1 minute between the head of the peloton and Froome

How many stages like this have we had in recent times?

 

[Arredondo]

Lovely stage so far

 

[Stilletto]

Is it Rolland and (BMC rider) up front?

 

[PremierAndrew]

This is going to be a long chase for Froome.

Re:

Sicard

 

[Red Rick]

Peloton all over the road already

 

[Billie]

Re:

Sicard.

Rolland just got passed by Froome.

I don't mean he's mentally weak. It's impressive that he found the mental strength to torture himself for another 3 weeks after winning the biggest race. But I'd completely understand if he gave up now.

Re:

Sicard and Atapuma.

Re:

The BMC is Atapuma

This should be epic my friends

Too much unnecessary energy spent already. Quintana and Aru are most likely thinking of attacking earlier than planned. Oh yeah!

 

[sir fly]

By the looks of it, there's no way Froome will try anything today if he manages to hang on with the favourite's group.
