Vuelta 2012, Stage 15: La Robla > Lagos de Covadonga (186,5 kms)

[doperhopper]

this is how the GT should be designed and raced - TDF deserves full boycott

 

[sultanofhyd]

Contador won't give it up easily. He'll keep attacking and attacking and at some point Purito will crack!

 

[the asian]

Pfff.........

Feeling more miserable than yesterday??

 

[Publicus]

Purito is super strong. Contador is in fact getting stronger, I just don't know if it will be enough at this point.

 

[rzombie1988]

I don't know why Contador doesn't try attacking earlier, like with atleast 10km left. This last 5KM stuff just isn't working, especially with an uphill sprinter like JRod.

 

[benzwire]

Froome is cooked. Much respect to him though. Hopefully tomorrow Contador will find a weakness in Rodriguez, but so far JRod is unstoppable.

 

[happytramp]

Ouch for Roche.

 

[Eshnar]

Piedra lost 4 minutes on the cimb.

Meh

Wait, you mean the gc guy aren't so epicly strong as someone seem to reckon?

RTVE apologizes for being unable to show today's stage of the Vuelta.
Instead, we brought you highlights from the 2007 Tour de France.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Can't wait to see Quintana have a crack at a gt gc himself. Gonna be epic.

 

[Miburo]

Just unbelievable, it looks like purito is toying with Contador.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Feeling more miserable than yesterday??

Yes

 

[Miburo]

Purito is super strong. Contador is in fact getting stronger, I just don't know if it will be enough at this point.

He still has bola delo mondo, he has 6 days to get that shape.

 

[Descender]

Blow your nose Piedra

He lacks the stamina yet.

But who's the mexican guy?

 

[Cerberus]

Contador won't give it up easily. He'll keep attacking and attacking and at some point Purito will crack!

I'm sure that Contador will keep trying, but right now given even odds I'd bet that Rodriguez wins the GC.

 

[burning]

I think podium is completely shaped

 

[roundabout]

Mondory is the new Jalabert.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I don't know why Contador doesn't try attacking earlier, like with atleast 10km left. This last 5KM stuff just isn't working, especially with an uphill sprinter like JRod.

It's simple - he can't.

rotflmao...!!

 

[Panda Claws]

I think Rodriguez was further on his limit than it seemed. He gradually had to bow down deeper and deeper to accelerate, but by then Contador was cooked as well and could not put a serious acceleration in anymore either.

 

[trevim]

Contador won't give it up easily. He'll keep attacking and attacking and at some point Purito will crack!

I'm feeling more like Contador will crack himself. That guy is incredible. He'll keep attacking no matter what: Hinault school
Froome making jokes after today: another insane guy...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Contador is still. Little under done but getting better, he could easily take it out n stage 20 IMO.
