His point is that it's super suspicious he was still able to finish so close to the peloton despite that crash. Must have involved some outrageous car drafting.

Re: Re:

I expect a Contador attack

Close

He did attack bro LOL tv didn't cover it, maybe next time you'll get me

Meanwhile your team....

They didn't even bother to cover his attack, must have been a strong one

They didn't even bother to cover his attack on Fuente De. Must have been a weak attack. Still strong enough to drop Valverde though.

Purito was in red and finished +2.30 down while Valverde almost caught up with Contador. Funny you'd mention him instead of Purito!

It was an enjoyable stage.

No you got it all wrong. Bala gave 2mins of head start only to prove that he can catch him. He failed for 6sec

Re:

Movistar is so ridiculous and why valverde was sprinting for seventh or eighth place?

And why not?

Piti wheelsucked purito on the fuente de stage and he still had 2 teammates up there too. Contador was all alone the last 15 km.

If only piti had the brains to follow contador's attack, he might have won the vuelta

Very small effort, very little reward. I don't see what's wrong.

Don't be ridiculous. He probably would've won the stage, but was already back more than 1'30" by that time to Contador I think

Contador had two teammates plus Tiralongo, they extend that gap to 2.30 which Contador barely hold

Initially he had 2 teammates, but Jesus dropped really early. Paulinho and Alberto did all the work, with Tiralongo helping too in the final

Valverde sprinting for points?

Yeah I know, I remember. He was impressive of course , but so was Bala, he did the majority of the work too. My post was just respond to Milburo...

Re:

Looked like it. Points jersey + top 10 is probs his aim for this Vuelta

Good win by Yates. He could not keep the smile off his face during his interview.
