Final GC: Dumoulin, Aru, Purito, Majka?

Valverde?

Me neither. At least though it should make the next few stages interesting, with Aru and his ridiculously strong team having to break the race open.

You should perhaps think of what you are saying in your patrotic happiness?

 

[Jagartrott]

Poor-ito :-(

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Go Fabio, go!!

 

[The Blues]

All over for Majka and Purito, yes. Aru is still in the race. If he can limit his losses so that he is only 20-30 seconds behind after the stage, it is possible. And I believe he can.
Nairo with a 2nd split time: 33'09"
Piti: 32'46"

Majka really looks awful on his bike.

I had £3 on Frank Schleck at 400/1, couldn't resist

No. Aru and Rodriguez have been fools. With their last km attacks. I still cannot understand they only went sooner in Andorra

Re:

How much has he lost so far?

 

[Bumeington]

Re:

I felt quite sorry for JRod before the stage, given he's missed out so many times, but can't feel that looking at him on his TT bike - it looks like he's never owned one before today

 

[Carols]

Well I have to say Tom is bloody gorgeous on a TT bike and is just killing it! Wow, just wow!

New cycling generation, can't do anything about it.

In a way the other GC contenders are fools. They should have put much more time into Dumoulin

So far he's just lost the Vuelta.

Re:

Pretty unprofessional by both him and Purito to have such a poor position on the bike. It's all well and good sprinting to gain 10 seconds on a MTF, but perhaps would have been better to spend a bit more time training for TTs, so you don't lose 4 or 5 minutes on them

 

[Pierrot le Fou]

Good effort from Sicard, 4th overall. And Quintana up in seventh at the second time check, 50 seconds down.

 

[Gigs_98]

Although I am sorry for Purito I think its good if aru isnt in front after today and lets be honest, it was more or less clear that Purito will loose a lot of time.

 

[Pippo_San]

If Aru, the master of pacing and mental strenght, can keep his losses to around 2 mins / 2 mins 10 secs this Vuelta can still offer something.

Ah, i thought it had a different purpose. Not only do you have a point then, i even agree.

It already has. Dumoulin is the freshest of everyone.
