Vuelta 2012, Stage 11: Cambados > Pontevedra I.T.T. (39,4 kms)

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Man that's crap from Gesink.

 

[Publicus]

Nice ride by Valverde.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Alejandro V staying true

 

[Bumeington]

that's not the reason he's called purito, that's the point.

Why is he called it?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I guess just fading from starting too fast

No. This has been the thing all year. In all time trials. He wins his time on the flat parts and climbs worse.

 

[Alpehue]

Alberto 2 secs faster at 13,5KM

 

[luckyboy]

Jesus, Kessiakoff really flew up the mountain

 

[Cimber]

Contador losing tim on the climb to Keisseiakof

 

[issoisso]

that's not the reason he's called purito, that's the point.

Yes it is. He faked smoking one on a climb during a training camp years ago and the nickname stuck

 

[Mellow Velo]

I think you have that backwards. Contador has been up my a few seconds throughout.

I know.
That's why I said it was all at sea.
Conta now down on Kessiakoff.

Valverde excellent climb.

 

[Publicus]

And now Contador is slowing. Like I said stamina is the issue for him.

 

[Sørensen]

What a ride by Kessiakoff. Respect Sverige!

 

[DominicDecoco]

This is where Alberto will take seconds.

 

[The Sheep]

No. This has been the thing all year. In all time trials. He wins his time on the flat parts and climbs worse.

Hope he learns to climb again next year.

 

[WorldsGreatest]

berto loses time to kess on the climb..

 

[cineteq]

Why is he called it?

because he's pure!!!

 

[Parrulo]

froome losing mucho tiempo on contador!!!!

 

[Alpehue]

Froome 18 secs after at 13,5!

 

[Cimber]

ouch Froomie

 

[issoisso]

because he's pure!!!

LOLWUT

Rodríguez himself has confirmed the story endless times in interviews. It was the cigarette at the ONCE training camp.

 

[Publicus]

I'm completely confused by these gaps.

 

[spalco]

Dammit. Froome is done.

 

[Netserk]

because he's pure!!!

no It's because of the cigar story.

 

[The Hitch]

Contador in virtual red.

Would have preffered it on an mtf.

 

[Cimber]

The Swede has been a beast on the climb!!
