Vuelta 2012, Stage 14: Palas de Rei > Puerto de Ancares (149,2 kms)

[Publicus]

again, perfect tactics by rod. exactly what he has to do.

oh, but right, conti "let him win".

I don't think anyone is saying that today.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Phantastic racing.

Much more to come.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Marczynski! Great ride.

 

[richwagmn]

Just great form for Purito. This is his Vuelta to lose at this point.

Agree. Contador looks at 95% or so.

 

[ggusta]

AC repeatedly is unaware of the stage finish.

 

[hfer07]

literally: Purito taking no sh!t from Contador!!!

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

What another epic stage.

The sprint finishs have been more eventful than all those same MTFs.

 

[Descender]

I'm still laughing my *** off at Froome's attack.

 

[vcampbell]

Purito again with his pathetic wheelsucking until the last km, then sprinting. I just want it so bad that once he will be alone when Alberto attacks.

 

[Miburo]

He should have went in the last k but I guess Contador was afraid of Purito's last km.

This really won't be easy for Contador to win.

 

[the asian]

Well, that was great riding by Purito. Bertie will have to beat Purito by a reasonable margin on Cuitu negru, if he want's to win.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I can't see Purito losing this now.

 

[Publicus]

Agree. Contador looks at 95% or so.

I don't think we should say that any more. What I know is Purito is at 100% and riding himself to victory.

 

[Moviefan1203]

I'm still laughing my *** off at Froome's attack.

Why? He's obviously losing form, but he had to give it a go. It was gutsy.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink +1.56 14th... wow..

 

[spalco]

I'm still laughing my *** off at Froome's attack.

Hey, got to give him props for trying.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Don't worry guys, he will definitively drop him soon enough. Today we saw that the kick is still there, only thing missing is the stamina to go to the end.

 

[Descender]

What another epic stage.

I guess we have very different definitions of "epic".

 

[Tyke1968]

Well played Jrod peerless this tour.
Props to the Spanish they are stronger <obviously>
Good vuelta this year even though my man is struggling.

 

[Parrot23]

Man, Bertie looked surprised when Purito showed up! Shoulders slumped.

Talanksy, fantastic for him.

 

[slim charles]

Contador seems to ride with a heart more than with a head. Or form. I still think he'll win this Vuelta, but my god Purito is in good form! Congratulations to him. I liked that Froome tried, even though it wasn't going to work really.
Very good stage.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Well, that was great riding by Purito. Bertie will have to beat Purito by a reasonable margin on Cuitu negru, if he want's to win.

Well that's not gonna happen

 

[Descender]

Hey, got to give him props for trying.

I do. It was the highlight of the Vuelta for me.

 

[the asian]

Vlaverde & Froome tied for 3rd place.

 

[richwagmn]

Nice ride for Talansky.
