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

[seldon71]

Froome is going Vrrooommm, but Nairo has it under control.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Very good time for Quintana so far.

 

[deValtos]

Nario is lucky he's not on a bad day! Crikey.

 

[huangho]

The obvious is going on, CF winning ITT, NQ not losing 3.5 minutes and AC securing the last podium spot!

Re:

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?

Or they have decided their only chance of winning the overall is to go out extremely hard and try to pressure Quintana into a mistake.

Nairo looks fine still if he keeps this up. Amazing by him. I guess we have to wait and see how Froome is pacing himself

 

[burning]

Chaves is already in his sights, lmao

He messed up at 2014 Vuelta TT, arguably cost him the Vuelta.

 

[Springveldt]

Christ, he's already caught Chavez for 2 minutes.

 

[Poursuivant]

Froome looks twice as big as Chaves lol.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Quintana looks like an amateur taking these corners.....

Re:

Nobody doubted that a day ago...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Quintana will lose around 2 minutes, leaving 1½ minutes advantage. Certainly the race will be opened up for tomorrow, but I don't understand why König, Froome's best dom, went all out today.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Can Froome catch Contador?

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Froome giving it plenty :O

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Damn, Castro will not win this.

I did not expect that happening that quickly though, he's going full alien

 

[Billopoulos]

Froome is absolutely flying!
Contador is doing a nice TT as well but he is being overshadowed by Froome!
Froome is already 1' ahead of Contador atm.
Quintana needs to limit his losses now.

Tomorrow is going to be epic.

4 minutes no hope ...

Re:

Gaining over 4 minutes on Contador? No ways......

 

[DBotero]

Chaves is done.I'm sorry for him,he climbed so good,had a good Vuelta but today is horrible

Re:

He's already lost one Vuelta by crashing out carelessly on a TT while in red. No need to take any risks with his advantage.

 

[Ruby United]

Quintana limiting his losses very well according to the GPS
