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

[LaFlorecita]

Whatever the UCI might say, this still happened:

And this

 

[No_Balls]

How about today?

 

[iZnoGouD]

80%? Is Machado the new Agostinho? Machado isnt bad rider, but climbs like Rui Costa, Kessiakoff, Cataldo... not much.

he only needs to be the strongest in the break, and unless Contador is in the break that's pretty easy

 

[hughmoore]

I hope Machado wins as well !!!

Lol. I can tell you 30 climbers better than Machado

 

[SafeBet]

I'd suggest dropping this Machado nonsense before it gets out of control.

I'd suggest dropping this Machado nonsense before it gets out of control.

It's not even close to funny aymore as well.

It won't get out control. The stage starts in half an hour. Machado will miss the break and the nonsense will fade away till tomorrow

ups sorry, remove Basso, in case the question really was: you can't name 10 riders that would beat Machado with over 4 min up Alpe d'huez

Schleck

Sanchez
Quintana
Henao

Scarponi

You forgot Andrea Guardini.

 

[No_Balls]

It's not even close to funny aymore as well.

You thought it was funny in the first place?

 

[Cyivel]

Lads, if you don't think it's funny ignore it or report it, a bunch of you responding to him or answering his points legitimately is inane.

if you post another comment on Machado I will suspend you!!! Well, only if I have the power to do it

 

[Lexman]

Debusschere LTB did not start,
sick for 4 days...

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

JVDB dns as well.

 

[vcampbell]

JVDB dns as well.

I thought he is waiting to be in a break and try to win a stage, but it looks like his form was really bad after the Tour. Sad

 

[Lexman]

ROJAS DNS
OPQS twitter : Rojas did not take the start today after crashing yesterday.

 

[Lexman]

I'd suggest dropping this Machado nonsense before it gets out of control.

I enjoy it. Most of it is original and can be funny. We have had 2 years of it"jokes" about how mollema then slagter then kelderman and still mollema, will drop everyone and win whatever race they are in by 20 minutes hahahahaha. As well as every stage and jersey hahahahaha.

Saying that machado will win the stage if contador isn't in the break is at least new and indirect, and had only been going on for a few months.
