[Mellow Velo]

Cataldo showing ambition at least.

Yes, he briefly woke me up.
Meanwhile, the Green train plod relentlessly on.


Sella showing for Savio.

Roman lights the candle.

 

[Descender]

I think Leaky is doing their best to make it hard tbh...

Yes, to make it hard for us to watch.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

This is not a bad route.

It is. They get worse every year (except Giro until 2011). If Fignon would see this...he´d be turning in his grave

 

[Eshnar]

probably referring more to contador's return than anything. But yeah - 150km flat with a mtf at the end - vuelta is by no means more fun that even this giro

Did I read right? People hyping the Vuelta to be better than the Giro this year? On that parcours?

Jesus wept.

 

[Froome19]

What aren't lampre helping Liquigas? surely it's in scarponi's best interest to push the pace as well.

Quite pathetic that the pace is low enough for these riders to attack so easily and pull out so much time so quickly on the peloton.
Kreuziger evidently doesnt have much hope for this stage.
Oh wait..............

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Fair play to Kreuziger. He's showing some balls, after his dog of a day.

Roman dropped Seeldrayers? Must be feeling good.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

kreuziger never really dropped like i said. He was talking in the radio i told you

 

[Eshnar]

It is. They get worse every year (except Giro until 2011). If Fignon would see this...he´d be turning in his grave

Ok this is some serious trolling.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Yes Casar and Pirazzi must be friggin' rockets to mantain the gap from the breakaway.
And what about Agnoli dropped and come back?

Basso wants to have one or two teammates with him on the descent.

helped by the awesome pace his teammate set for 30 seconds...

 

[Froome19]

This stage is going to be absolutely epic.



25km

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Are you talking about the Vuelta?

Yes.......

 

[DominicDecoco]

Yes, to make it hard for us to watch.

It's pretty good weather outside, isn't it?...

 

[Eshnar]

Yes.......

Right it'll be epic to see 2 kms of action uphill every day.
Almost like this Giro.
Almost.

lets see what he's made of

 

[webvan]

Last climb will be deadly...for RH

 

[Machu Picchu]

JV is obviously pleased with how the stage is progressing:

Jonathan Vaughters ‏@Vaughters
Liquigas has been very impressive. I consider Roberto Amadio, their general manager, a very good friend. I just hope they aren't too strong!

 

[Descender]

Right it'll be epic to see 2 kms of action uphill every day.
Almost like this Giro.
Almost.

When have we seen more than that in this Giro??

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

The Vuelta will be a dull parade. Contador will be too much better than everyone else, so there'll be no suspense.

Attack by Kreuziger.

Can´t be more dull than this. Last year he won the giro by 6 mins. And it was still exiting. Especially this 7 hr stage. I tought i am back to the greaties (80s).

 

[whittashau]

Everyone is criticizing Liquigas but what about Kutusha and Lampre? They need time too. they're not pushing the pace. Liquigas' problem is that they've been the only team which has been willing to do work in the mountains.
