What a boring race.

This race could potentially be hella exciting withouth Movistar

I don't normally whine but that was a bit of a yawner....

Quintana will never learn... what a boring rider, what a waste of talent. He could be almost a new pantani but he rides too cautious

The right number of big names in a race is always 0 or 2 or more, never 1

Nice win by Soler anyway

Boring Quintana.

 

[carolina]

he's clearly the strongest. why not let his teammate win?

I can't wait to see mccarthy in la vuelta.

wasnt it clear that he gifted the stage to his teammate?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Meh.

I would like Quintana to stop playing games and just go for it. I could understand it last year, with Contador and downhill and all, but this year at a MTF? We know how strong he is, he can't hide it, but he obviously prefers to keep his cards to himself at Sud.

But what an impressive performance by Soler tho. Wtf.

 

[BigMac]

Great effort by Hugh Carthy, I'm most impressed. There was no need for Quintana to steal that second place, though. Bad form.

Caja Rural the most likeable of 'dominant teams'.

Re:

Even if Quitana would've done something it would have still been boring because nobody could've challenged him anyways. I'd say that at least we had unexpected winner today.

I wouldn't mind seeing Nairo go all-out and test himself before le Tour.

Same, but whatever. He shouldn't ride to please us, I think he has done the tests he needed.

For a rider of Quintana's calibre it'd almost be silly to not gift this win to a young, deserving teammate, for whom this victory will mean 10000x more than it would to Quintana.

Re:

He made a great move, by letting his teammate win. And that was Soler's first pro win. I only have words of praise for that.

 

[Flamin]

Kind of sad to outsprint McCarthy at the line there.

Yet felt the need to steal that second place from Carthy. #noclass.

Indeed, that looked awful.

Re:

If I were Carthy, I'd be very happy that Nairo takes me seriously.

 

[KyoGrey]

I think people are concentrating on the negatives of the race and dismissing the positiveness of the great performances of young talents of the future such as Soler, McCarthy etc.

 

[Pricey_sky]

I see Carthy told Quintana as they crossed the line what he though of him
