In the Spanish TV, the camera moto commenter has just told what he saw and heard yesterday.

Apparently, the towing of Nibali was far longer of what we saw in the video ("at least more than 1-2 km").

There wasn't an official complaint made by any team, just some angry words in the moment of riders who were in the same group from where Nibali cheated.

The organisation acted by their own means because they thought it was too suspicious.

The unwillingness of cyclists to report obvious wrongdoing they've witnessed is not good.

Fabu abandons with stomach problems :(

Wow, to think before the race started we were all talking about how dominating Astana was going to be. :eek:

Things sure change quickly.

???? Fabu is on Trek

Ah, thought you meant Aru. My bad. :eek:

Impressive perfomance from Richeze.

May be on his way to Etixx. Think he could have gotten some results already, but he's been lead out man for too long.

Sagan? Rly? Did Haimaru-sensei cross the line first?

Just a random joke, congrats to him of course. After all those 2nd places it must be relieving for him.

He is incredible at placing himself. Always was. Never had top end speed. Will top 5 all the sprints here by following wheels. he should stay a leadout man. one of the best in the bussiness.

So deserved that result! Is the double in terms of points classifications possible with the many uphill finishes in this Vuelta? Or will Sagan abandon the race for WC prep?

Sagun! Sagão! Sardão! Sagan!
Ahaha, és tuga de certeza.

Anyway, fantastic demolishing win from Peter. Can we stop even pretending that guys like Degenkolb, Bouhanni and so on can old a candle to Peter on any sort of sprint finish? Again, he only has problems with timing. He didn't stay on John's wheel once the sprint was on, and made him eat dust.

He needs a guy to help him with timing, and someone to advice him in classics and other places where he can manage his unmatched strength. Boonen could be the best mentor he can find.

Sagan won a stage, demonstrating that the Vuelta isn't raced quite at the level the Tour is raced at.

Well you can see that from the start list anyway - Bouhanni and Degenkolb are not Greipel and Cavendish

Grande Sagan! Finally! Sagan is one of the most gifted cyclists ever and my personal favourite. He just need to learn how to adapt to some race situation and he will be unstoppable. Let's hope he will do the double tomorrow.

PS:Did Quintana actually lost time or was it a mistake when they showed the GC?

Your conclusion is obviously true, the rest of your statement is as wrong as it can get :eek:
