Re:

Dumoulin didn't lose any time

Are you the guy who said I can choose your avatar if he is less than 5 minutes behind before the ITT

Re:

Where are the froome fans now heh?

Dude, its late August.
Still 10 months left till they come out of hibernation again

 

[AlexNYC]

Allowed to? The others would have followed him if they could.

I don't know... It looked like Quintana let him go

 

[Red Rick]

Re:

Tame stage. Dumoulin survived even

Dude, they raced super hard, Froome got dropped

 

[Billie]

Re:

Was I the only one to think Dumoulin wouldn't crack today?

nope.

stages like today he won't crack. It's those stages with 4-5 mountains that will trouble him

 

[Miburo]

Not sure why anyone expected anything from this stage? The profile is *** and it's the vuelta...

 

[DBotero]

Crap stage.Aru looks really good,he might win it after all.Chaves still there impressive stuff.Froome is toast,confirmed by the fact that no Sky rider was pacing him after he was dropped.

 

[Vasilis]

Re:

Was I the only one to think Dumoulin wouldn't crack today?

No, I put him in my team for today. Froome as well though.

 

[rick james]

Guess the dawg is hoping that his form will build like last year...loved the fight the breakway had

Re: Re:

van Garderen loses 1 minute. Froome and Landa 30 seconds.

Quite some victims.

So Aru vs. Valverde vs. Quintana?

What about Purito
And I also wouldnt forget Majka, he was really good

Well, he was there you know. Really on his limit, but still there. And in the next days, the weather will be worse, with rain in Andorra stage. That suits Purito even better

But more then a top-5 isn't possible, for sure. I just hope for a stage win.

Froome, Landa (disappointing), Van Garderen, Moreno all lost time.

The Vuelta well on its way to podiuming the "worst GTs of the decade" competition.

I'll still honour that, even if I'm slightly less confident now. But it will be the multi mountain stages that really trouble him

Dramaqueen.

 

[Matteo.]

I think Quintana will destroy all on Wednesday

 

[Escarabajo]

People will never be happy in this forum!!

 

[Miburo]

Landa is playing safe, he already has his contract. Next year we'll see the real Landa. He's still gonna win 2 stages in this vuelta.

Re:

Aru doing what he does best: power effort on a 7% percentage climb in a not so difficult stage. This is where he excels. Don't overreact on his performace.

 

[StannisBaratheon]

Don't get your hopes up after this stage if you're an Aru fan, 7 seconds is nothing on a 10+ km climb.

Re:

Why? That was the first real mtf and the first two 3rd category finishes were pretty good. Moreover its hard to win against the 2012 tour/giro

Dramaqueen.

Did I insult you?

 

[Brullnux]

To all the "Aru has no chance because he has never climbed stronger than any other top tier rider" guys: In your face

Amazing 7 seconds he got there today because he was allowed to. Unbeatable. Second rate GC guys like Aru, and third rate GC guys like Majka, have very little chance against the Big guns

Why would the Movistar allow one of the freshest favourites 7 seconds in a Vuelta where the winner could be anyone and the difference probably very small?

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome showed up because it's good for PR. He has no business winning in Spain, still a long way from dawg to badger.

Re: Re:

He should've gone to this year's tour

Or any Tour with little TT.

Re:

Landa is playing safe, he already has his contract. Next year we'll see the real Landa. He's still gonna win 2 stages in this vuelta.

i totally agree. Next year we will see again the Landa of the Giro.

Aru doing what he does best: power effort on a 7% percentage climb in a not so difficult stage. This is where he excels. Don't overreact on his performace.

exactly, it is his achievements and his career to prove it
