2016 Vuelta a España, stage 12: Corrales de Buelna > Bilbao

Re:

No doubt Keukeleire was the fastest, but I found it saddening to see a good, agressive rider like Devenyns get caught 1km from the finish and see random c sprinter #39 run away with it.

The descent was very non-technical, which is always in favour of a big group.

Re: Re:

Did you see Keukeleire's sprint?

Yep. I picked Felline, and would've liked to see him sprint, but Jens had that at hello.

I think Felline, had he been on the wheel of Keukeleire, would've won that

Bouet's reaction as he crossed the line...

Did he really think he was going to win that?

Well, to be fair, he hasn't been this close to a win since 2013, when he won his last victory.

Ah ! Gerrans is road captain at the Vuelta and its always unlikely he would go for a stage win.

Quite a stunning sprint from Keukeliere is fairly fast - Keukeliere was in a good position to go for the sprint finish in the second stage Meersman won, but unfortunately fell over Contador.

Got it wrong big time with Gilbert today - My guess is stage 13 will come down to a sprint finish.

Was that Gerrans? He didn't really look like it.

Gerrans or whoever it was, was on Keukeleire's wheel but got boxed in by a simultaneous move from a Caja Rural and an Etixx

It was Howson who did the lead out for Keukeliere.

Yeh, Howson. Gerrans was invisible 12 minutes back
