Bodnar, Valgren and Kreuziger on the team would have made more than half a minute difference. But instead, we have Hernandez, Paulinho, Rovny, Trofimov... It's like they are deliberately trying to lose...


guess who's fault that is?

It looks to me like Contador and Tinkoff have both selected their best mates within the team,rather than the best riders. Deserve nothing more than this result if that is the case.

What's the catch with telemetry in Spain?
Every single race there has unreliable timing or kilometre counter.

You're all free to dislike Kennaugh or any rider. But keep it within the rules please.

Contador will win this race by 3 minutes. Quintana is dead and froome never gets his tour's super peak in vuelta

Kennaugh suddenly becoming a gt contender durning the Vuelta would probably make the forum crash. :D
Seriously, the guy's just a huge ***, by far the most unlikeable rider on Team Sky.

I'm here. Valverde in red would have been interesting. How the stages play out - would he defend. All the top teams close to the top except Tinkoff. Let the fun begin!

He or Moreno surely has a great chance of claiming red on monday. Difficult to see who from Sky could challenge them in Ézaro. Although perhaps Chaves or Sanchez could usurp them both.

He had a reputation as a jerk even before the Pooley comments.
He told Rasmussen to watch his mouth durning the 2015 TdF (Rasmussen had said on TV that he was really surprised to see a track guy like Geraint climbing at that level)

What are Kennaugh's sins?
Looks like I'm missing something.

His being British is a bad start around here.

no no, Cummings and Carthy are British and they are fine.
his riding for Sky is a bad start. always
to be fair, being a hot head does not help though

I think Valverde can win that stage.Quintana won't like it but he should go for it.
