Clásica San Sebastián - 2 August 2014

[Netserk]

As much as I like Nieve, I hope he doesn't win, as the organizers then probably will see the route change as a success.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Nieve and a GreenEdge in the middle. Martin and Visconti in a group trying to come across as well.

I spy with my little eye, something ending in Yates?

i.e. No idea which one

Albasini.....

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Nieve drops Minstrel Albasini and is in pursuit of Kolobnev now!

Edit: and here come Murito and The Don!

 

[trevim]

I can't help but cheer for Nieve even if he has turned to the Dark Side

 

[roundabout]

Oh, Vanendert is alive

 

[Libertine Seguros]

....and Murito wins.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Vanendert is lost. He think's he's in the Ardennes.

 

[Netserk]

Ugh, anyone but Purito.

 

[luckyboy]

yeah this climb should be further out like Koppenberg

Great stuff from Nieve

 

[roundabout]

Not enough of a gap for murito

Edit: should wheelsuck Piti out of spite

 

[Arnout]

Lol Valverde.

 

[Rollthedice]

....and Murito wins.

Valverde i think.

 

[trevim]

Vanendert is lost. He think's he's in the Ardennes.

His CQ results for this year are just epic!
Valverde sucks wheel and then attacks. Lovely character

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Yates *****es

 

[postmanhat]

Albasini.....

Doh! Forgot I'd paused it and am a few minutes behind. think it was Simon near the front at the bottom of the climb

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Adam Yates getting ready to show everybody his best Purito impersonation.

Good effort. 8/10.

 

[Netserk]

Three Spanish riders in the front of the race. Obviously the route change was a success

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Valverde i think.

Yea once Bala got around Nieve he set off with some distance very quickly and certainly has more power than J-Rod on the descent/flat.

Now here's a Yates. The Albasini is gone, and Adam is up here.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Good effort. 8/10.

Hope he saved some of last week's sprint

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Three Spanish riders in the front of the race. Obviously the route change was a success

Only one of them is Basque though

 

[Miburo]

Three Spanish riders in the front of the race. Obviously the route change was a success

Since when aren't spanish riders in front of this race?

Valverde and purito were always major contenders for this race anyways, for any hilly race

 

[roundabout]

The helicopter is too close to the action. They should try filming it from a satellite next time

 

[SafeBet]

Mollema is there too.
