Chaves 3rd

Yes. Contador needed to go with Froome and Quintana and unfortunately wasn't able to. Great ride this stage by OBE.

2 GT podiums in one season is pretty Arusome.

Quintana looks like he's on a sunday club ride..

Froome clearly hasn't modified his tactics when behind since Ancares and Farrapona in 2014.

This Vuelta doesn't make him great either. He seems too well rounded to win anything big

Absolutely, but he's still a great rider to have

Tbf, Froome tried quite a few times today. He tried at the start of the stage and over the top of Puerto de Tudons

What tactics? Nothing you can do 1 minute down against another climber who's at least as fast as yourself.

This final climb is very impressive by the way. Vuelta gets criticised often for just having walls, but this is a serious mountain.

Latour is f**** crazy.

Sad for Contador, I hope he bounces back next season


Unlikely, besides Trek did not appear to be prepared to meet his demands before the Vuelta, so now...

Certainly not if you don't attack properly until the last 5km.
