57th Vuelta al Pais Vasco 3-8 April 2017

[LaFlorecita]

Alberto isn't giving me great vibes... let's see

 

[Arredondo]

It's so difficult to judge Contador's pace atm.

Contador isn't dancing on the pedals... i'm pretty sure he made a bad decision in starting with a road bike

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wow really good time for Enric!!

 

[Valv.Piti]

PRIMOZ

Contador in a way too big gear for my liking

 

[klintE]

well, Roglić gonna use 58-tooth chainring

And it pays off, 40 second over Mathews

 

[GuyIncognito]

Wow Edet great time on the climb

i mean i know he's a climber but still...

 

[Red Rick]

Contador hungry for wind

 

[the asian]

Awesome Roglic ! Hope it's good enough to beat Ion.

 

[silvergrenade]

Contdor looks strong to me...Dancing on those pedals

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wow De La Cruz' time!
Pretty smooth change for Berto

 

[portugal11]

Contador lost something like 10 seconds

 

[Red Rick]

At one point Contador was just one of many gelling at tbe mechanic to get that bike

 

[HelloDolly]

De la Cruz !!!!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

I think Alberto looks fast, but I agree it's a very big gear

 

[Irondan]

De la Cruz is flying!

 

[portugal11]

Valverde looks tired

 

[Valv.Piti]

It looks like there is a headwind on that climb as well.

Re:

Year after year his cadence is getting lower and lower.

 

[Frankschleck]

De la Cruz to take the overrall

 

[klintE]

Contador likes to be in standing position on climb. It's not comfortable on TT-bike. I understand his move.

 

[Arredondo]

Based on Bala's speed, Contador looked quite good on the climb

 

[burning]

Ion is looking good to win the GC

 

[LaFlorecita]

Spanish journo Ainara Hernando has the times on the top: 15'20" for Ion, 15'10" for Berto. That is probably including the bike change because it was before the top. Not sure it's enough for Berto to hold off Ion.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Alberto smoking it!
