Pais Vasco Stage 2: Zumarraga - Lekunberri 163km

[hrotha]

Wow, I love the Spanish-language Basque commentators' banter, but they're terrible at identifying everyone who isn't Basque. They just referred to Knees as "the English national champion".

 

[Moondance]

ZOMG!?!? Did the Eurosport commentator just say those old Tinkoff jerseys were nice? They were HORRID

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kiriyenka wins in front of Horner and I want to kill Backstedt and Harmon for saying Ardila everytime Duarte went

yeah that was annoying. They are clueless.

What happened to Uran

Gesink looked really really poor. And Basso.

 

[boomcie]

And I'll keep my thought that this is most probably going to end in a 5 to 15 men sprint

Quite a big margin of error there

Yeah, I'll top that by making it a 2-20 men sprint to the finish.

Damn it

You can't legislate for taste.

But in Tinkoff's case one probably should.

 

[Descender]

Wow, I love the Spanish-language Basque commentators' banter, but they're terrible at identifying everyone who isn't Basque. They just referred to Knees as "the English national champion".

One of them is specially bad, he thought Kiriyenka was Luis León, and then he goes "oh wait, he's with Rabobank this year".

They're fun though.

 

[Ryaguas]

Vasil totally deserved it!!! great attack!!!

Chill dude... Tiny Columbian climbers all look the same to me as well.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

finishing group -gesink (he was in there tho) I think.

Kiriyenka wins in front of Horner and I want to kill Backstedt and Harmon for saying Ardila everytime Duarte went

And to compound it Harmon said Ardila's first Euro team was Rabo.

 

[Jamsque]

Wow, that was quite a sprint from Frank! I have never seen him shift like that on the flat.

I am disappointed by Uran too, he bridged up to the front group just after Cunego but then he cracked and was going backwards all the way to the summit.

 

[Moondance]

Uran Uran comes in 28 seconds down.

Oh noes!

He'll never conquer the world at this rate.

 

[boomcie]

And you want to beat someone up for being wrong?

 

[hrotha]

They're fun though.

You mean Kirchenka

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ofcourse he was. Gesink was still better than Basso, vd Broek or even Klöden. It was Gesink who had to close the gap on the first 5/6 riders at the top. Klöden couldn't even take over.

That means there are still possibilities for Rodriguez and Sanchez to attack on the next stages

 

[Ferminal]

Klöden Leading

Of course you haven't because it was his brother.

 

[sublimit]

Kireynka deserves a win for his thankless domestique work in last couple of years, great rider.

 

[theyoungest]

Basso suffering again, his form is reportedly good, but it hasn't brought him much yet.

Fränk Schleck looks to be the strongest, don't you think, Dekker_T?

 

[Jamsque]

Of course you haven't because it was his brother.

Was it? EITB graphics said Frank. Whoops.

 

[hfer07]

Very exiting race more the same tomorrow!!!
also good to see Movistar getting some wins-its about time

 

[will10]

Great ride by Kiryenka! That guy has balls

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kireynka is awesome.
Should get more a chance to lead.
