76ª Volta a Portugal 30 July -10 August 2014 (2.1)

[Hugo87]

Veloso wheelsucked Mestre, but now on the flash interview said he didn't overtake Mestre in the end, because he didn't pull so wasn't fair to do that.

Props to his fair play, Peraud should take notes.

this post is the most bs I read all day.

What do you think of Parra Ryo? Looks good to me.

I had lots of worries before this yera because from the best tariner in the world(saldarriaga) he went to the worst team in the world caja rural. I hope despite all his talent shows up

I read your biased bs every time you write on this forum, just look your post count and think the feeling I have almost every day.

Unfortunately it seems that tomorrow is going to rain all day, including at the finish line, with partly cloudy skies.

Not as big as yours "cycling Mourinho".

Maybe Mestre can repeat his 11's performance.

did it ever rain on senhora da graca in volta portugal ?
i think efapel will kill the race. i will go with david belda for the double

Maybe. Second behind Hernâni Brôco. Seriously though, by today's performance, it should be between him and Veloso. Some others will get in the mix, no big time differences inside the top 5.

That would be a dream come true for Libertine.

 

[Rui Quinta]

I remember some rainy days like 2007 Viseu ITT and 2008 Torre (last 3 km). In 2007 prologue rained in the podium ceremony... and it was in Portimão.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Break of the day:
Alberto Gallego (Rádio Popular)
António Carvalho (LA Aluminios-Antarte) (GPM leader)
João Pereira (Banco BIC-Carmim)
Filipe Cardoso (Efapel-Glassdrive)
Ángel Madrazo (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA)
Albert Torres (Team Ecuador)
Juan José Oroz (Burgos-BH)
Moisés Dueñas (Burgos-BH)
José Vicente Toribio (Team Ukyo)
Daniel Dominguez (Christina Watches-Kuma)

 

[Parrulo]

50k to go, break is 3:30 ahead.

Efapel chasing

 

[BigMac]

Broadcast link reminder: http://www.rtp.pt/play/direto/rtp1 Flawless stream. Skies are clear. Great scenary.

 

[Parrulo]

Madrazo in the break

 

[BigMac]

Efapel doing the chase instead of letting OFM do it. Veloso's team will be fresh at the foot of the final climb.

 

[Arredondo]

Parra already goes!

Especially daft since they have somebody in the break and OFM don't. Even if their man in the break is Filipe Cardoso who isn't likely to feature in any mountaintop finish.

 

[cineteq]

Madrazo in the break

Oh yeah, Angel (El Gorrión de Cazoña) Madrazo, now we have a race

 

[jens_attacks]

efapel destroyin the peloton with hincapie,azevedo,padrnost,ekimov
and landis

schumi dropped already
is nuno still there ?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Parra already goes!

I did not see it. what happened?

 

[Arredondo]

I did not see it. what happened?

He attacked on the penultimate climb, then reeled himself in. He then attacked again on the descent, but could not get away.

Perhaps he could save his energies for the final climb.

efapel breaking away a little
nice descending
