Zeits sitting on Tom's wheel is just cruel.

Re: Re:

If Majka gets a podium this will be the least deserved top 3 since velits iirc

he's been wheelsucking for the most part in the race but i know many riders who wheelsucked their way to a podium in a GT.

Yeah, Majka is a bigger wheelsucker than even Gerrans. At least Gerrans sometimes takes a pull.

Now you are exaggerating. Gerrans has never taken a pull

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Thinking of top ten, any word on relative positions of Valverde, Meinjes, Pozzovivo?

Re:

Put a strong team around TD next year and.....

I'd stick with Barguil as main GC leader for now. Dumoulin has lost time on every single high mountain stage - the steep finish parcours actually suited him because it meant the stages were raced quite easily until the end, limiting his losses.

On a standard parcours with multiple stages in the Alps/Pyrenees/Dolomites he wouldn't make top 10.

Best Vuelta stage since Fuente De 2012? Surely straight to the Vuelta Hall of Fame as well.

Re:

That is not giants priority. Barguil was pretty much alone in the tour too. If TD thinks that he has a shot at GT, he will have to change teams

I've seen that before in the Worlds last year. I haven't seen that with Majka when he was not a dom.

Majka is the peloton's biggest wheelsucker.

Re:

I see the Dutch brigade is already dropping Aru clinic hints.

Who is? I barely see anyone from the dutch brigade besides myself.

 

[mspgrandi]

Aru / Landa played it clever on the penultimate
climb, they tried to break dumuoulin but not just jump free of everyone)

[Hugo Koblet]

Dumoulin could even drop to 6th place today.

 

[Miburo]

not sure why majka isn't pulling

 

[Velolover2]

Re:

Because he doesn't know how to.

Re: Re:

And Hernandez in Fuente De

 

[drc]

Go Majka. You can do that.

Its probably a good stage, but at the moment I am rather sad

 

[doperhopper]

Remember yesterday's post of Oleg? This fcuking Astana is pulling you into the podium... if this was a mind game, well done.
