Don't think it'll matter much in the end though.

rhubroma said:Not saying it will, but purely from a racer's perspective it just peeves me that they can't be more damn acurate. If I cross the line 2 seconds ahead of a rival, not 1, then they better get it f-ing correct. Period.

“It was a day of cycling when it’s hardest. The truth is that I had good legs and perhaps I should have tried something else, but at the end of the day, I’m happy because my legs are fine. Tactically, you’re always wiser after having crossed the finish line. The race is still open, there are still three stages to go and important things can happen. The crucial thing now is not getting cold, recover as best as possible and tomorrow will be another day. From here to Barcelona, the terrain makes it more difficult to attack but it’s not impossible,” says Alberto Contador.
Contador: “The race ends Sunday”
LaFlorecita said:Damn are there any pics of Quintana? Contador looks about 50 so Quintana must look 70

Haha. Still no scientific solution for fogged up sunglasses, dew on the power meter and plenty of blinding mist.Jelantik said:one second .. two second.. still arguing??.. For sure? he looks like he was suffering (btw look behind: froome was busy looking at his power meters()

Red Rick said:Yeah, I think that the moment he beat Purito in a sprint was the moment he realised he ****ed up tactically
Arredondo said:Purito said he started the sprint early on, so that's perhaps partly a explanation Alberto beated him at the line.
LaFlorecita said:Hahahaha Bertie 6th in the bunch sprint hahaha vamos
LaFlorecita said:Yup, it'll be very hard to drop Purito. But at least he'll try
