2nd rest day - Who do you think will win la Vuelta?

[cineteq]

Alberto will be in red tomorrow.

You mean like stage 7 Paris-Nice 2009?

 

[Viking]

Alberto is going to attack and not let up. So, he's either going to win, or he's going to bonk and fall off the podium. I suspect he'll win.

 

[Caruut]

To fall off the podium he needs to lose over 4 minutes to Froome - pretty sure that's not gonna happen. Hope Berto wins it but Rodriguez has been so so strong.

Agree.
Even if he attacks say 60 kms from the frinish in the Bola del Mundo stage he's not gonna lose the podium.

There's a slight chance he loses second place, in case of a crazy long range attack. But podium, no way.

Eh, so I exaggerated a bit.

I think Contador could win it ( stage 20 shall be epic ) but JROD looks to be set to win. I say why not? It would be his first GT win and he deserves it. It would be such a shame if he does not ever win a GT. We all know Contador is the best GT rider but he needs to lose sometimes.

I am not confident but i voted Contador because i know what he can do/ his attacks should work at least once.

 

[ElChingon]

Just one thing.

[vcampbell]

Just one thing.

I don't know if it's bad, but I can't stop laughing

 

[burning]

I feel ashamed now

 

[Panda Claws]

Lol at all these sudden Contador votes.

Lol at all these sudden Contador votes.

Now I can say I voted for Contador before it was cool.

kneel before your king common people

I'm sorry, but at the moment there is only one King out there, and his name is Alberto Contador Velasco!

But you were good too!

 

[ElChingon]

Lol at all these sudden Contador votes.

Wish the vote would of been locked down at the start of the stage today. At any rate the JRod and Vino votes will still be there to mock

 

[Andre.J]

40% of forumits still think Contador's gonna win??!!! I thought this was supposed to be a forum for people with some knowledge of cycling??

I guess you lack some knowledge.

 

[Red Rick]

I was a little bit right. After all Vino approves such attacks

 

[SafeBet]

Lol at all these sudden Contador votes.

It's always like that

 

[sartoris]

i voted for alberto. Although purito is in the shape of his life, contador attacking spirit is not going to fade away and i can see him a little bit stronger everyday. Purito can crack or have a bad day. The difference between them two is minimal. Plenty of terrain to turn the race upside down.

luving the vuelta !!!

quoting meself !!

 

[jens_attacks]

seems like i was wrong.he didn't do a mini-pantani but a robertito!

i expect a furious,huge attack on navacerrada from purito!

You'll have learned two things today Willbick. Firstly,anything can happen in professional cycling and secondly not to denigrate people who know more than you.

Purito is set to win the Vuelta-but as he said, he only needs a bad day and is over. OTOH I will not be disappointed at all if Alberto does not win it, because he has given everything & made the race so exciting to watch, that his podium place would look to me as an overall victory for his awaited return

As far as who would I like to win......hmmmm....This choice between those two is difficult for me, because I like them both a lot-Alberto for obvious reasons, but Purito too has that breed of class & toughness that make him an amazing rider-I've followed his career since the Caisse days, & always thought he needed to go alone & get his own glory elsewhere. He did & now he's set to get that GC title he was lacking...

I guess I wasn't that far off

but I have to admit-I thought Purito had this one in his pocket-but once again history repeats itself

 

[Panda Claws]

Rodriguez was at 68% 1 hour after the race, and now he is at 62%

By tomorrow he'll probably be at 55% or something
