You got me there for a second.

If New Orleans had all the sandbagging Alberto's doing, it would have never flooded.

Contador is fit and ready to put foot to a$$.

AC is still overweight anddoesn't expect to excel this week.

Hope thehail stones don't get him.

Yeah, that's exactly why Moose said "sandbagging".

Damn... He said the magic words... Ok... He will win and put at least 1min to the others

Edit: OFC not in this stage... maybe tomorrow

oops - consider me sandbagged!

Bertis last words yesterday after the stage:
“My sensations were good and overall it’s positive.”

And he chased the peloton down alone after he punctured with 40k to go...
Dont think hes as fat as he says the dear berti

Let's face it. Contador doesn't really have to be in topform to ride well.

Simple as that really

 

[LaFlorecita]

Does anyone have a stream? The one yesterday people were on about had a virus embedded in it. I was lucky in that my kaspersky anti-virus software blocked it.

There is no stream until the last 60 minutes, I guess. Just like yesterday. And it's probably only the finish line again.

And it's not like any decent cyclist is in top form here, so I wonder why people are only worrying about Contador's form here. It's not like he's going to face guys in peak form here. Just a small race. When do the mountains come up? Can't wait for the first mountains of the season

Indeed.

stage 3 kind of (see the thread which has already started) 4.8 km category 1 should be enough for climbers to show themselves properly

WHAT? Are you really saying that Willunga is not a mountain?? WTF? Put me P&P on the line!

Any radio working now? or just the last 60min?

 

[LaFlorecita]

"Guevara , Cabrera , Ávila y Neisa tienen unos 2:25 sobre el pelotón. "

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Willunga would be a feed zone in the Giro.

Anyway, stages 3 and 5 should be decisive here.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I hope we'll have a proper stream for tomorrow's stage, but I guess that chance is small.

I just finished cleaning my system. I certainly won't be clicking on any more streams for this race.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Time difference now 5 minutes.

Well you have all the South Americans in top form which makes it interesting. Often plenty of Colombians, Argentinians and Chileans in the top 10 here. Remember Arriagaga won last year against a decent field of European based riders - Capecchi, Serpa, Basso, Vicioso, Soler, Baliani, Tondo (regardless of what shape they turned up in).

It's been 2.1 for three years and a European has only won once....

Arriagada risked it all last year... and lost it.

Edit: just saw that he's still listed as last year's winner... amazing.

He only lost Vuelta Chile...

Argentinians, Chileans and Uruguayan riders race in top shape here. Lots of these riders lost minutes yesterday. Guys like Almonacid, Godoy or Garrido. Happens with the wind and rain.

True, still got Giacinti, Cardenas & Nazaret at same time as the leader and all could definitely be a factor in the top 10.

still long way to ride, everything can happen
