Carols said:What makes you say this? What did you see and at what point in the race? I have it recorded so I can go back and watch again. So much happening at one time it is difficult to follow everything!
LaFlorecita said:Yes, very steep last few km.
airstream said:Am I entitled to have assumptions? I think Purito felt confident so Dani could safely sit in the second group.

No_Balls said:Apart from the stage profile and its six days away. What i mean is that its close to Contadors old training ground where he started and that he probably wants this so bad he gonna get down bleeding to get it.
LaFlorecita said:The stage to Bola, yes. I already said this before the start of la Vuelta, if he doesn't win there I'm going to cry.
LaFlorecita said:Why?
El Pistolero said:Gilbert and Contador are 33 years old?
No doping insinuation from my side. It's just pretty weird that he turns into such a climber powerhouse at age 33. Normally, a cyclist peaks around age 28-30.

El Pistolero said:Yeah, at age 33 he becomes the best climber in the world.

Parrot23 said:Why oh why can't Valverde, Rodriguez, do this at the Tour? Would vastly improve the race there.
peacefultribe said:I don't really understand the negativity when Contador attacks and can't do anything with it. Or better yet, when he seemingly attacks in the wrong place. Everybody complains about the Tour being boring...........
