Heh, noticed that live.

 

[Escarabajo]

btw Nairo looked like himself again today. still I dont think he should have attacked first after Alberto,Valverde might be upset about it,at least he only sucked murito then. but yeah,he looked very tranquilo

I don't think that he is close to 100%. He will get better in 2nd and third week. he better, because he will loose some time to Contador and Froome tomorrow.

I'm not rating Quintana as highly as many here but even I don't think he'll lose time on rest day, though you never know.

God damn, Nice ride from Alberto today! And a nice second place from my man Lutsenko!

Smiling as he goes - gotta love it.

That is a grimace

The race is developing really nice.
Would be interesting to see Contador in the Red jersey already after the tt with this B Tinkoff team.
Can't see Froome making big gains after today's performance.
Movistar's team strength could be the decisive element of Quintana's chance.

I got the impression Froome was under pressure earlier, so I don't see him finishing top-3. 5-10 if he's lucky.

The GC got re-sorted nicely today. I did not expect that at all.

Let's make sure Adam Hansen gets an honourable mention for his results today. 2nd group on the road with the guy riding his 10th **CONSECUTIVE** grand tour.

+ 1.

He would win the 'Vuelta a smile' by a mile

 

[metaCYCLE]

Great ride by Lutsenko!

Yeah I love his tweets - the Italian guys are great too (Pippo )

 

[SeriousSam]

"The Sky riders really scared everyone, even Froome himself - I got surprised they rode so fast while their leader wasn't as brilliant as he thought he could be.

Haha, no love lost between these two.

are those indians, hitch?

 

[BigMac]

are those indians, hitch?

Amerindians, yes. Mayans from Guatemala, circa 1511 anno domini. I'm digging their minimalistic paleo-paleo-hipster tattoos.

They're also great actors.

I know it's from a motion picture. True expeditions to the local only took place six years later, so it's impossible they photographed those depicted.

if you watch closely, you see an iphone in that pic

I think he was mocking the Ryo discussion from a week ago.
