[Red Rick]

Looks like Vuelta now has found their equivalent of the Col de Manse

 

[DFA123]

[Cance > TheRest]

That Flattish/slightly downhill last 5k is looking more and more interesting

Any gaps between GC top 5 or all together now? I am at work and recording :/

 

[Gigs_98]

Wtf? Why is a Movi rider working? That doesnt make any sense.

No, they've slow right down. A fairly big group back together now. Nieve the only one slightly up the road.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Come on Haimar - 1 km left to get a gap

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Roche vs Zubeldia on a descent???

 

[SeriousSam]

I just noticed that Landa doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Setting it up for Valverde. Bala wants the podium.

For the team comp

no. protecting against Nieve, who was on the front

 

[Gigs_98]

Now please no crashes.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

How can you not like Valverde? Constantly attacking all year long.

Doubt it. The form Valverde seem to has right now, he'd have just jumped straight on Nieve's wheel. He's more interested in trying to break Majka and Purito.

Btw, who the hell got the idea to give someone the competitive award in a ITT

haha, I was thinking the same thing. Do they just automatically give it to the winner?

I guess it's the Vuelta only thingy? Tony Martin won it last year.

 

[Rollthedice]

And, another climb is over.

 

[Red Rick]

Quintana attacks, is pulled back by gravity

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nibali would have been useful here

 

[Carols]

So where is the lauded Landa? No benefit to him so he's no where to be found? He could be doing a job for Aru right about now.

Re:

Quintana attacks downhill? This stage has it all.

Nah: just getting a cushion

Re:

I love the guy, have for what seems like decades . He'll always give you a race.

 

[Gigs_98]

I really like Quintana but I am extremely disappointed of him in this vuelta
