Vuelta 2012, Stage 16: Gijón > Cuitu Nigru (183,5 kms)

[No_Balls]

I hope Machado will be there

I think he already have gifted away the stage but stay true to your beliefs.

got to love perico, i am watching peripuertos and just as he goes into the last 3k of the cuito negro that at the time of the shooting weren't asphalted he says:

"this will be asphalted by the time of the race, but i don't think that is good but the road is great like this"



Perico was also forced to walk up a few ramps age is catching up

who is pushing in the peloton? gap not going down ffs

 

[Bumeington]

Single file in the peloton, it's picking up

 

[No_Balls]

12.27. Its going down.

 

[Parrulo]

If team mechanics don't lie:
Purito 38x28
Contador 36x28
Valverde 36x27

wimps. . . . big bert grabsch would go up this easily on his trademark 55x11

 

[Miburo]

I've the feeling Cataldo isn't fully riding at all. He's too scared of De Gendt.

 

[iZnoGouD]

12.27. Its going down.

not going down fast enough that is

 

[Bumeington]

Daniel Brown right at the back

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Astarloza and Pérez push. Maybe Antòn feels great?

 

[Miburo]

12.27. Its going down.

On these parts just before the climb they can make up a lot of time if they ride full gas.

Euskatel is riding hard.

 

[Pulpstar]

Should Moreno really be that far back

 

[iZnoGouD]

Astarloza and Pérez push. Maybe Antòn feels great?

Froome, Gesink and Anton feeling great

this will be interesting

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Froome, Gesink and Anton feeling great

this will be interesting

More likely then not all 3 will be non factors

 

[Pulpstar]

Who is the midget from Euskatel driving it, surely best to stick an 80 kg giant for the flats

 

[iZnoGouD]

More likely then not all 3 will be non factors

i expect a huge attack by Froome at least

Carrot train is on full. Maybe Anton can be thrown in the mix too. Bodes well.

(Never told you i really like that avatar of yours. Big Jan.)

12:10 para:

Dario CATALDO (142) y Thomas DE GENDT (211), que ya están en las primeras rampas de la penúltima ascensión del día.

 

[Publicus]

Saxo and the Carrots are making it hard today

 

[The Hitch]

Isn't it live in Spanish TV already??

Could be he doesnt have tdp but one of those 2 main channels, forget what they are called, will show it live from 4 cet.

carrots or oranges?

 

[iZnoGouD]

yeah i don't have tdp, it sucks
13 more mins waiting

 

[Publicus]

If team mechanics don't lie:
Purito 38x28
Contador 36x28
Valverde 36x27

Seems to me Contador should be looking to keep the tempo high. Purito will burn himself out pushing that 38x28

 

[the asian]

Just tuned in. Good to see De Gendt in a two man breakaway.
It would be nice if he can win the stage.
