They should stop holding the Vuelta Castilla y Leon, as it will never surpass this moment again in a hundred years.

He looks like a special needs cyclist here. No offense.Geraint Too Fast said:
Check out that game face.
slosada said:OK, he just declared that the leader is Valverde... He had to work in the chase (whereas Caja Rural didn't), that he was only covering Bilbao's attack and he recognized he didn't help him in the last 8Km.
He said that the cold weather suits him well, but Valverde suffered.
Geraint Too Fast said:Not bad for a lost cause...

If he gets if some kind of shape he could be ready for La Vuelta.
It looks like the leash is short at Movistar.
Let's see what he can do in Dauphiné or Tour de Suisse? No Nairo or Valverde in those races.
But likely Izaguirre, Intxausti...
To the bolded, are we saying this everytime he fails selection to a race? ''Maybe next time?''. The guy is a lost cause. He's not in shape for the Giro and he won't be in shape for any race until the season ends. How come fans don't understand.
I'm not a fan of calling someone an idiot, but when you are posting like this to the point of boredom, well, than I agree with Ryo Hazuki.Jspear said:Bigmac was wrong, but calling him an idiot is pushing things. Its not like Bentacur has given us reason to have faith in him. Also as was just said above, this isn't a very big race. Lets stay calm and see if he can continue to get better. He'll need to if he wants to win in the big races.

Peaking for Japan Cup, what did you expect?

Train for Japan Cup.
Japan Cup.
BigMac said:After Movistar found out they had to pay for two seats, they decided it was not worth it.
BigMac said:This guy will be larger than a blue whale and the fans still dreaming about his Return.
BigMac said:It's futile, if Movistar's cook gives the team a salad he will rip someone's leg off and feast on it. It will be satisfying to see Movistar get nothing out of this opportunistic move.

Do I need to keep going?
I checked yesterday if the Spanish TV or the Castilla y Leon regional TV had planned to show race highlights and I didn't find anything.SafeBet said:Is there any video of it?
