Re:
He still outsprinted Froome. That shows both how strong he was and how strong Quintana is!Tarnum said:

big fan of nairo riding all the way across the line, if froome can be expected to take a minute off him in the TT this is currently pretty much a dead heat.
Re:
It's almost like you need some form for adventurous riding to be sensible, which he didn't have at the Tour.hfer07 said:
Froome is the most peculiar race rider I've ever seen with yis yo-yo-ing on mountains. How would he cope without his power meter?
Re:
Guilty as charged. TG4 have broken my heart by not showing the Vuelta this year. The first Eurosport link on Steephill is in glorious HD, but it seems to go down about 20-30km from the finish every single day, and I have to find some flaky delayed stream for the finale.

What a final climb! Froome is amazing and nice to see Quintana actually attacking. Contador did what we could expect. Chaves poor.
Quintana!!!!
I am glad that he put his time on Lagos.
He should have gone before and probably taken more time.

It looks very much like Quintana missing the Olympics road race and ITT was the right decision. Fresher than Froome from the evidence of that stage.

Its not yo yo at all. He is riding to a set power limit to time he run into the line.

Great action! Finally!
When does Valverde get tired?? Impressive stuff! I still think Contador and Chaves can overtake him, but already has 2 minutes!

Even though the Vuelta winner is probably over, I'm actually looking forward to seeing more yoyo-ing in the later stages.
Re: Re:
I am on my limit and in danger of losing a Tour podium if there is another attack.
Hold on, why don't I attack, put myself into the red, get chased down by Sky and see what happens? It is what the internet thinks, so it must be a sensible tactic.

Re:
Anyway, gaps were pretty small for a climb like this. Only like 1:30 between Quintana and the likes of Brambilla. I mean behind Froome, thirty seconds to second is a large amount, but from Bertie onwards not much.
Sure, he does attack on MTFs when he is by far the strongest. Wasn't exactly unplanned/unexpected. The whole stage had been leading up to that moment.hfer07 said:

Re:
Yep, I think he was too cautious about going too early because he thought Contador might sit on and counter attack him. Probably slighlty rueful now that he could have easily taken more time, given how shocking Contador was in the last 3km.Escarabajo said:
Re:
Not at all. The guys who did the Tour will definitely drop off, and it's going to come down to who's form drops more, and if the Tour guys' form drops enough for Chaves and Contador to come back
Quintana went very far into the red today, Froome seemed to hold a small bit back. Let's see if that will tell in a week's time
