2016 Vuelta a España, stage 19: Xàbia > Calp 37km ITT

[TourOfSardinia]

Nice one Alberto +3s

 

[Alexandre B.]

Chaves is losing a podium.

 

[Miburo]

Contador isn't gonna win though i'm afraid, the first part suited him the most

 

[burning]

I have a feeling that we are going to see a Mont Saint Michel show

Re:

Alberto 3 seconds behind Jonathan at 12.5k check

Thought he might be a bit better than that. With the hilliest part of the course down now, it would be an incredible ride for him to overtake Castroviejo on the flatter/rolling part.

 

[Miburo]

Holy ***, full ***!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Wow Froome, I hope he hasn't gone off too quickly

 

[hfer07]

everything is going according to plan

 

[DBotero]

Looking good for Froome.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Froome on fire

 

[Alexandre B.]

Hum.

That's something.

 

[Poursuivant]

Froome gone out too fast?

 

[jsem94]

Re:

Could be mind games. Go out ridiculously hard and hope that Quintana panics and messes up.

Or it could just be full ***!

 

[deValtos]

Race for the red jersey back on?

 

[Miburo]

Quintana doing a pretty good first part considering everything

 

[Springveldt]

Foome has went off far too quickly. Either that or full alien mode.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Pfff wtf

Re:

I don't think so. Quintana is also pretty fast, judging from GPS times

 

[Ruby United]

He's been conserving energy and watching this stage for ages, but that?
That I was not expecting.
And SKY consider themselves masters of not going out to fast (eg tour tt), so has he planned this. Is he pacing himself?
Or will he fall apart later?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Nairo riding a very good TT. But Froome is insane.

 

[Poursuivant]

Quintana's first split isn't even that bad.
