57th Vuelta al Pais Vasco 3-8 April 2017

[Scarponi]

This race has confirmed the right decision to drop WT points. TDU was more impressive

9, 2, 49, 1, 1, 3, 2, 14, 15, 1, 1, 14, 3, 1, 11, 1, 2, 1, 1, 17, 16, 7, 4, 10, 2, 1

Guess who.

He also stole the White Jersey from Matthews

At least there's a silver lining then

Did you say this about the weak generation of riders that couldn't pull a 35-year-old hill specialist back on the cobbles last week?

 

[GraftPunk]

Well isn't that some ***.

That's amazing.

Re: Re:

LMAO, but it would be great if Boonen wins tomorrow

Boonen isn't winning 10 races in the spring season anymore. Cobbled classics have an actual decent field, unlike these races, which are severely lacking last few years.

Since you mention Froome beating Piti on Huy in TDF like 5 times a day, I will mention Fuglsang and Nibali smoking everyone on cobbles in TDF, which implies the field in cobbled classics is trash according to your logic.

 

[Arredondo]

Contador just isn't the same rider anymore. Bala has surpassed him in every department.

 

[Velolover2]

One thing I like about Valverde is that he always say "we won", he never say "I won". He is a good team mate.

 

[Rollthedice]

Valverde's best years are yet to come, he's getting better and better.

 

[luckyboy]

Roglic raced two TTs longer than 25km with LottoNL. Now won them both

Lol ! Even if we have ten consecutive horrible editions of PV, TDU will not surpass it.

Just look at the field and you'll recognize the difference.

34 and last time I checked Sagan, GVA and Naesen crashed out in the finale. Otherwise Gilbert would have been caught.

Oh, and Gilbert isn't a hill specialist, such an insult should be bannable if you ask me.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Valverde is such a boss.

 

[Irondan]

Another 2nd place for Alberto...

What did he come 49th in?

Re:

Contador did a terrible TT. He is not the best in anything anymore

he still seems to have the most devoted fanboys and -girls ....

Wrong topic, but in all likelyhood, no he wouldn't.

The stage was won by Boom, who can't even podium a cobbled classic despite focusing his entire year on it. Besides, that was a mini-Roubaix in rainy conditions. The Tour stage was an exact replica of the FW.

Re: Re:

Looks like he went too hard on the climb. Another tactical error. No way he should be losing about 30 seconds to Valverde on that gently rolling section.

No, he just can't time trial on the flat now (see also Froome smashing him in last year's Vuelta). Fortunately - for this reason only - the Tour is allergic to long flat ITT's.

Re:

Alejandro Valverde is absurd.

I can't stand it.
