Stage 16, San Martín del Rey Aurelio - La Farrapona, Lagos de Somiedo

I believe Cunego is doping free

More like dropping free.

Time to thin the herd a bit. Still a lot of riders in this group.

Brambilla is an idiot.

Not for the fight with Rovny, but for the fact that he went back to the group after his DSQ and didn't get right back into it with Rovny. They should have had round two right then and there.

Now that Rovny has been told to scram, he should ride up to Brambilla and start swinging.

For a nice gesture (which I am *NOT* condoning) they should finish the ride together, LeMond/Hinault style.

 

[Miburo]

That he could have been told quicker.

Bro.

Oh yea because this all part of contador getting favored right? Getting 2km more out of his teammate?

Besides it's right that it should be slower since he wasn't the worst offender.

 

[go crazy]

LOL "Bramibila should be awarded most combative rider of the day". Hilarious!

 

[Eclipse]

De Marchi is very impressive but he's never going to make it.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bravissimo DeMarchi.

 

[BigMac]

Oleg must be pooping himself and choking all over, now.

Bears love honey, just ask Winnie the Pooh. What on earth is Kirby on?!

I agree with all this.

Why is wuyts complaining that this is boring? Froome is prob not good enough.

And piti/Purito will never ever go early. Yea it's boring as ****, but what did wuyts expect?

Race became boring when quintana got out.

 

[b.broadhurst]

24 in this group.

 

[fauniera]

What a disappointing stage.

 

[hfer07]

Froome to summon his 2013 TDF powers and take off at 200 RPM to drop the soul out of the competition- mark my words- its coming!!

 

[ILovecycling]

I hope attacks starts soon

Because Quintana clearly was the main enternainer of the race before he left... oh wait.

 

[Rollthedice]

What a disappointing stage.

There was a fist fight at some point.

 

[ILovecycling]

'what is this pace in this stage'

 

[DFA123]

I hope attacks starts soon

Unfortunately there are only two GC contenders with the inclination to attack from far out. One is in red, and the other can only climb like a time trial at the moment.

 

[Miburo]

Because Quintana clearly was the main enternainer of the race before he left... oh wait.

Because movistar then can play with the 2 guys for GC and early attacking is actually likely to try and isolate contador...oh wait.

Learn cycling before you try and be a smartass.

 

[Parrulo]

Well the climb doesn't help either, so far it has been nothing but false flats

Agree. And CN forums blow up for the rest of the day

 

[SeriousSam]

The big question of the day is about to be answered. Will we see 200 RPM?

 

[b.broadhurst]

B******* lost Deignan

 

[Pricey_sky]

******** lost Deignan

His work was probably nearly done anyway.
