Lower in ranks - Pardilla lost three spots and down to 16th in GC. Peraud, Hermans, Valverde all up a spot.

Re:

So Quintana will end up beating Contador?

No, but he won't be far off.

 

[jsem94]

Quintana lucky to have followed Contador's move that day...

Re: Re:

Yates awful... I was expecting a lot more from him!

Why?

I'm asking myself the same question... :redface:

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Quintana 1.33 behind.

 

[Springveldt]

Nairo is going to lose over 2 minutes here.

 

[Poursuivant]

Quintana faster than Talansky

Re:

Luck not the right word. But yeah he wouldnt have won this vuelta without it

 

[Ruby United]

Froome to Quintana is 1:32

 

[Pricey_sky]

Quintana riding a very good TT. Froome with a superb performance so far.

 

[Billopoulos]

Froome
Contador +1.12
Quintana +1.33

Froome is risking every corner.
It will be 1-1.5 minutes between him and the red jersey for tomorrow.

Re:

Froome 39 seconds FASTER than Castroviejo and about 1'12 in front of Contador

Fixed

Not lucky, Smart & Alert!

 

[jsem94]

Froome KILLING it

 

[PremierAndrew]

What was the cf nq gap at the first time check

Quintana is panicking and will probably crack more and end up over 2:30 behind Froome and also half a minute - a minute behind Contador

 

[Poursuivant]

Interestingly, the Chaves - Contador gap has stabilised a bit.

 

[meat puppet]

Froome puts those suggesting he would fade during the vuelta, as any sensible observer would suggest, in their place.

Of course he would have. Froome was out of it that day - he couldn't even follow Scarponi, Valverde or Sanchez on the last climb. Quintana would have easily taken at least 30 seconds on him even without the break. And more on Mas de la Costa and Aitana if he needed to.

 

[barmaher]

Contador is slowing down quite a bit.

I think Quintana will finish close to him in stage rankings.

 

[dacooley]

well, at least froome indicates the tour vuelta double is more than doable.

 

[Stan955]

Will Froome not be waisted tomorrow after giving so much today in the TT ??

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

Yeah, Contador clearly went off too fast. He's bleeding time now.

With cr*ppy opposition in the Tour, yes, is doable.
