53rd Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco - 1-6 April 2013

[Duartista]

Anton showed promise today in GP Indurain, finishing 2nd in a tough race. Also, Quintana has replaced Lastras in Movistar's line-up.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Anton showed promise today in GP Indurain, finishing 2nd in a tough race.

Nice, lets hope he can produce similar stuff next week.

 

[Parrulo]

according to costa the paris nice crash was a major set back and he lacks serious racing fitness so we can pretty much count him out of a good performance in pais vasco

hopefully he will be feeling better for the ardennes

 

[BYOP88]

Richie Porte to win by 3 or 4 minutes.

 

[La Furia Roja]

Quintana has replaced Lastras in Movistar's line-up.

Great addition to the race.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Richie Porte to win by 3 or 4 minutes.

Byop that's a good prediction, I will not predict the winning margin but a Richie win seems likely, I will predict him winning taking 3 stages along the way

 

[The Hitch]

Byop that's a good prediction, I will not predict the winning margin but a Richie win seems likely, I will predict him winning taking 3 stages along the way

Lets not get carried away. Contador is the heavy favorite. Make no mistake about that.

 

[hoerpi]

a nearly retired rider but he can pull a show sometimes

His first stage race this year was TA where he became better towards the end. Will probably not win this year since all his focus is on the Giro.

 

[movingtarget]

Byop that's a good prediction, I will not predict the winning margin but a Richie win seems likely, I will predict him winning taking 3 stages along the way

If Porte wins this race as well, it's safe to say that his career has turned the corner. If he does win, it won't be by much. Tirreno was a much harder race than Paris-Nice this year.

 

[Jelantik]

Richie Porte to win by 3 or 4 minutes.

eh? you forgetting contador is there mate? Froome can't get 3/4 minutes out of him. why do you think Porte can take that much time? Contador is not Tejay.

 

[cineteq]

Quintana has replaced Lastras in Movistar's line-up.

Great news for the fans, bad news for the Skyborgs.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Alberto Contador.

 

[Miburo]

Lets not get carried away. Contador is the heavy favorite. Make no mistake about that.

Based on the field there are only 2 guys who are major favorite. Porte and Contador.

Not sure about samu but i doubt he'll be able to follow them.

 

[Kokoso]

Richie Porte to win by 3 or 4 minutes.

Kreuziger will never allow such ridiculous thing.

 

[Miburo]

Kreuziger will never allow such ridiculous thing.

Fair enough.

2 minutes then.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Alberto Contador.

this 1.

If AC can't take advantage of all the smallish hills and downhills in this race, he isa total sucker

 

[ILovecycling]

Contador and Quintana?lets crush Ritchie!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No Mollema in PV this year. According to his management he is not fit to start.

Ill?

 

[Pentacycle]

No Mollema in PV this year. According to his management he is not fit to start.

Ill?

Who would've thought?



He's a Blanco rider, you know...

 

[theyoungest]

No Mollema in PV this year. According to his management he is not fit to start.

Ill?

Too bad, he looked good for a decent Ardennes campaign. Unless it's just a minor cold.

Saxo sends the possibly TDF squad? Blank two spots for sky? spot for either Froome or wiggin's? or Uran?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

that's a kick in the teeth for porte

He still has Kiryenka, so it's the equivalent of a full team.

Not necessarily. These are all their best climbers, excluding majka.

Well except for Zaugg this might be their squad. Put in morkov and Tossato in it for the flat and you got it.
