Volta a Catalunya 2013 - Stage 4: Llanars → Port Ainé (217 kms)

[armchairclimber]

That was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic stage and an awesome ride from Martin. Sky and Katusha not up to the job...great stuff.

 

[Ferminal]

I do not want more, I think he did great...but some guys here acted like he's going to destroy everthing.

He did......

 

[The Hitch]

A 23 year old finishing alongside a top3 climber, what more do you want?

The hype is not that he's the best in the world, rather he's a young and relatively unproven talent who will take any opportunity to show that he's almost matching the top guys.

Hes the 5th best climber in the world, and still improving.

 

[Descender]

Nice ride from Martin. Good boy.

I liked this climb.

Were you momentarily blind yesterday on the last km?

 

[l.Harm]

Day of tough racing, like the Tirreno stage. In both cases Sky blew up. Garcia Lopez was incredible in P-N, now he dropped after 1k? Or they just had a bad day.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Great race, looks like Sky and Wiggins are finished.

 

[Ferminal]

Nice ride from Martin. Good boy.

I liked this climb.

Yes, and a 6 hour mountain stage in Spain!?

 

[JimPanzen]

Were you momentarily blind yesterday on the last km?

Easy dude...I saw it and it was a great sprint.

Edit: And stop acting like I said Quintana didn't perform great. Others just talked liked he's putting 2min into everybody on every stage.

 

[woodburn]

Pretty impressive top 10 for a non-GT race. Like to see the big names coming out to play in March.

[Tricky Hawes]

Great race, looks like Sky and Wiggins are finished.

....in this race. Will anyone who finished ahead of Wiggins be riding the Giro?

GC with times

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Dan Martin is a true hero in my book.

VdB and Gesink also very good today.

 

[webvan]

Is the GC known yet?

Yep, Martin only has a 10" lead and there is a 10" bonus in Montjuic...really should have kept pedaling to the line!

"Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and up the mountain side"

Nice one Dan.

 

[Afrank]

Dan Martin is a true hero in my book.

Agreed, hope can keep his lead in GC.
