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

[Bumeington]

Sky hits the front = the day's first "400 Bad request" error from the forum.

Assumed that sudden flurry of activity was due to Rovny and Brambilla

 

[b.broadhurst]

Froome is moving up.

First time all race that he has sat behind his whole team.

He means business!!!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Uran is surviving well on this climb. Some teams will rue the opportunity to ride him on minutes before

Garmin? Astana? I guess they're the only teams worried about Uran in the top 10

 

[SeriousSam]

TSCHOO TSCHOO ALL ABOARD. Next stop, Mutant Attack.

 

[ILovecycling]

just arrived home, how is bananito doing today?

Belkin and BMC should have drilled it but then again, it's just a top-10.

Kennaugh seems to be in no hurry to follow Brambilla - saving energy or Frooming the break?

 

[Miburo]

I hate it that wuyts already tries to create the image that spanish people are ***...

 

[GreasyMonkey]

Knees is done, Rowe up next, 7 Borgs to go....

Kiriyenka now, and the break shatters with DiMarchi going, now with Brambilla.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Zubeldia! Was he in this race?

First rule of Zubeldia: You do not talk about Zubeldia.

Saving energy, he seems to have the best form of the sky boys, I reckon he will rip it on the base of the final climb.

 

[Escarabajo]

Another Colombian in trouble. Winner.

what happend with Uran today?

 

[Bumeington]

what happend with Uran today?

Was dropped earlier, team says he's ill but then peloton clearly started to soft pedal a bit since he came back from a 1-2 minute gap

 

[indianfanboy]

what happend with Uran today?

He was dropped in one of the earlier climbs and he managed to get back in...OPQS DS says he is suffering from Bronchitis

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Uranium decay

 

[b.broadhurst]

Kiryienka done his job and now Rowe is ripping it.

Siutsov has popped and gone without doing any work.

He is off the back again, by himself and looks really sick. Would be surprised if he finishes today.

 

[ILovecycling]

thanks guys

looks like rigo is really suffering

 

[Lexman]

is there a sporza webstream available for those outside Belgium?

 

[trevim]

Jesus Hernandez still there, or is that Zaugg?

 

[b.broadhurst]

About 25 riders left in the peloton, Deignan leads Froome and Nieve

 

[Arredondo]

Moreno has dropped. In the Uran group.

He really disappoints this year.

 

[Rollthedice]

34 in the leader group.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Cataldo hanging on at the back, hopefully he can do some work at the base of the final climb.
