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

[Cimber]

Jrod takes red I think!!

Hell yes what a boss! I really hope the guy can win this vuelta, incredible result!

Suck a lemon froome!

Dont think he will win though. The long climb doesnt suit him as well as the shorter ones in the first week. And Bertie is getting better and better

 

[burning]

The guy around 5 minutes last year, this year he only lost 1, great job

 

[ManInFull]

Alberto's non winning curse continues, will be in red, but misses out on winning the stage.

Has he won any race since last year's Giro?

 

[RVPRVP]

Bertie 22 seconds faster than Froome.

Well Froome did well ,not that it will matter because he clearly has no form now.It's a shame because Valverde and Purito wont match him in the high mountains.

rodriguez just needs a few sprint bonuses now...

....aaaaand tomorrow's finish is on a 14% climb with a 28% section

 

[Mellow Velo]

Unbelievable.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Gesink's climb was really poor btw

 

[spalco]

lol, go Purito!

Congrats to Kessiakoff and Rodriguez.

 

[Cimber]

Confirmed 1 sec between them. I reckon Saxo wont be to upset to let Katusha do the work.

 

[Big Doopie]

talansky in 8th.

too bad for garmin TTT.

Conta winning is the next best thing

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wow purito great tt! Alberto a 1" Fail

 

[Bala Verde]

What a gap between 4 Valve and 5 Gesink ; 1:30 or something. The top 4 is within 1 minute.

 

[Escarabajo]

rodriguez just needs a few sprint bonuses now...

The only problem that in the third week they enter terrain that fits Contador better. this past week it fitted Purito real well.

 

[TheEnoculator]

So why is Purito leading by 1 second?

 

[Red Rick]

Schleck should be watching, improving your tt is possible

 

[Alpehue]

Has he won any race since last year's Giro?

Nope, but then again, he barely raced since his return.

 

[glassmoon]

great ride by Purito

told ya, froome will goin to pay more and more for the TdF 2nd place. You simply not going to be 2nd at TdF by soft-pedalling...

but Purito

 

[goggalor]

....aaaaand tomorrow's finish is on a 14% climb with a 28% section

Awww yeah! This could be Purito's Vuelta. I really hope it is, fantastic rider. But it's not unlikely he'll lose out by a few seconds again.

Has he won any race since last year's Giro?

He won the mountain stage in San Luis but no overall GCs since the Giro

 

[sulgpallur]

Has he won any race since last year's Giro?

Tour de San Luis

Jrod will get seconds tomorrow but he will lose time in the real mountains.

Valverde would have been in red if it hadnt been for the crash...

Bertie 2nd on the stage and 2 on the Gc

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink's climb was really poor btw

No kidding... Ten Dam climbed faster
But he didn't look tired on top of the climb (from the 2 seconds I saw). I literally think he took it too easy...

 

[Publicus]

I think the difference was Contador fading on the descent. His stamina is improving but he's still not on top form. Should make for an interesting weekend.

Schleck should be watching, improving your tt is possible

Not when, according to Bobby Julich, Andy refuses to get on the TT bike at all, yet is constantly telling the media how hard he's working at it
