2016 Vuelta a España, stage 8: Villalpando > La Camperona

[Tyke1968]

Chaves? very Suprised What's he normally like on the steep stuff?

 

[rune1107]

This is shaping up to be an awesome race!

 

[Pantani Attacks]

LOL Contador did the Froome yoyo. Chat sh*t get banged.

 

[jsem94]

Froome spinning at about 160RPM the last 20m... He completely cracked in the last 600m or so.

Re:

Why can't Contador pace himself? Every time he tries to go with the favourites, he ends up cracking. Should just ride his own race.

Froome faded really badly, allowed Pardilla, Valverde and even Contador to get back up to him. Looks like he's not going to be winning the Vuelta.

 

[Andro]

Contador out-yoyo'd Froome

When will Froome finally learn he should stay on Contador's wheel

lol

Amazing recovery from the crash. I really didn't think he would be right up there today

He failed to adjust when stronger climbers emerged in 2011

lol

 

[GuyIncognito]

Makes me think Contador would be up there with Quintana without the crash injuries

 

[SeriousSam]

Froome faded badly. Riders he usually annihilates coming back to him,

Lost about 25 seconds to Quintana - the obvious favourite for the race now. Given the fact he was sprinting the last 200m, it looks like he paced himself awfully.

 

[Miburo]

Seriously i followed Contador for 10 years, not even prime Contador did this.

When he drops he's ***, it's the golden rule with him.

What the hell was that?

 

[woodburn]

BMC didnt say with Atapuma?

 

[bajbar]

Now with a 40 km flat TT things might get interesting. But Contador will at least gain confidence after today if nothing else.

 

[luckyboy]

Vuelta is the best GT

 

[MacBAir]

Contador is riding with rage. I just love it when he puts the hammer down when he is all banged up.

Remember that stage he losted to Evans on the 2011 tour? Similar to today. All banged up and putting the hammer down.

Re:

Contador hilarious

last laugh?

 

[KyoGrey]

Funniest ascent in some time. Quintana attacking, and Contador double-punching Froome when he looked dead.

 

[Arredondo]

Contador mighly strong with his injuries. But why always trying to follow an early inferious pace??? He always drops when he does that.

So Quintana vs Contador vs Froome for the victory? Valverde will lose more time in the coming stages.

 

[RattaKuningas]

Contador was extremely fast in the end. No idea what happened to him but in the end still a positive result.

 

[woodburn]

Fairly good ride by Talansky.
