Who's a thought it
Nairo Man?

Jhojan, great result.

 

[sir fly]

Couldn't watch the final 4 kilometres since the stream I've been following collapsed, but I'm positive the season's hype can be built around the fact that Quintana was excellent while Froome was nowhere to be seen since his stint at the front.

 

[Koronin]

So Lopez won overall?

Smartest of the bunch, got unlucky when he was thrown off the bike then got lucky because of MAL and Sosa decided to do a surplace when they were off towards the line.

what happened?

Bernal & Quintana were dropped, MAL and Sosa started looking at each other and doing trackstands like Contador and Schleck back in the day which allowed Nairo to come back

They fought for GC? López was afraid to tow Sosa to the line if he himself was tired. He learnt his lesson in Burgos.

It was actually better for him to have Quintana in front since he could then afford to lose three seconds as opposed to one to Sosa due to the bonus seconds distribution.

Why Sosa didn't go with Quintana is another matter, though. I don't understand that to be honest.

They weren't dropped. They got run over by some idiot on the road.

Big fail by Sky - Let Sosa ride his own race yesterday and he wins the race.

It was Sosa that was run over. Bernal then waited for him to ride him back up to Sosa.

why or why there is always a f**k up moment on a great race? Today should have been the cherry on top of the cake had that absurd crash caused by those f**kers never happened.....

anyways...... Kudos to Nairito, Aquaman Lopez & Sosa

what happened?

Lopez didn't want to risk overall cause Sosa was only 6 sec behind, so he let Nairo to took the stage and biggest bonus and he only followed Sosa to the line.

 

[Koronin]

Seems to be Sosa screwed up.

Re:

Seems to be both Lopez and Sosa screwed up.

Superman didn't screw anything up. Letting Nairo ride was very smart.

Instant trophy

I changed my mind on that. You're right. However, Sosa majorly screwed up.

Yes Lopez letting Nairo win was a smart move on Lopez's part.

Good for Quintana and Lopez. This was a nice race. All climbers fighting for supremacy of who is the best. Nice. Shame what happened to the public.

Lopez had a delayed development. He finally put his first good performance in a GT in Vuelta 2017. He had a good 2018. But I thing we have not seen the best of him yet. He is looking to be very good in 2019 if he can avoid the crashes.

And not lose time on short steep climbs on the end of a stage
