This Vuelta will be settled on the high grounds.

maxmartin said:it will be close I hope, but right now I think alien CF is better at ITT, hilly course may play a little better into AC's favor

care to rephrase?
LaFlorecita said:Because he normally goes with more k to go. He had a small gap so Purito and Piti could do their 100 meter sprint and pass him. When he's 40 seconds up the road of course they aren't gonna pass him![]()

Cookster15 said:There needs to be a clinic thread about why Contador is not destroying the field so far at this Vuelta. I mean based on this forum I was expecting a highly motivated Contador ("the great one") to decimate the field in 2011 Giro fashion. A 2011 Giro Conti would not get caught by Valverde in a summit finish. If his form doesn't improve from here questions need to be asked.

maxmartin said:"I knew that Joaquim knew the climb really well, so I sat on his back wheel for as long as possible. He told me there was no way Alberto could maintain that kind of pace all the way to the finish, and he was right. It was a very tough climb, with constant changes of rhythm" from Valverde
seems JR knows his opponents very well

Miburo said:At 2011 he was already "caught". Stop with this bull****, what's the difference with 2011 considering that?
Nothing, idiots. Worst thing of all is that i read it aswell in a lot of newspapers.
I really hate journalists sometimes...Actually a lot of times.
The Hitch said:Calm down, the poster makes a legitimate point that Contador does seem to be a bit worse.
And i agree with you since he is passing the same controls as 2011 Giro, it suggests that clinic is probably not the reason for why Contador seems worse this year, but we will have to see in the coming years and coming TDFs if Contadors slight difficulties here are part of a permanent fall, or a temporary setback.
Would also be interesting to see, if Andy Schleck is able to outclimb everyone with ease, as logically, since they were on similar level, if Contadors ability drops to the rest of the gt riders, and Schleck remains the same, he should fly away next year.

Miburo said:Btw I wouldn't say he was absent for 6 months, rather a year.
After tour 2011 he didn't ride anything anymore beside san luis and 1 day in mallorco. So yeah 1 year I would say.
