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

[Paco_P]

Valverde looks ok after all

 

[Publicus]

Contador is suffering a bit.

 

[jilbiker]

If nothing has happened before 5km, I say its going to end status quo.

 

[Cyivel]

Whats happening?

Where is the Dawg?

45s back with talansky and some rabos and some others

 

[Parrulo]

Go Valv! Don't understand why Contador is trying to out purito purito again

he isn't. . . . he only put one small acceleration and is now riding tempo

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Valverde going what

That's fine, he just have to ride his own tempo and basically not care about AC and Jrod.

 

[No_Balls]

I am fairly confident AC is recharging his batteries now.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I think Contador may crack a bit here....

 

[classicomano]

Its getting a bit boring seeing the red, white and green glued together on every climb.

 

[Bumeington]

he isn't. . . . he only put one small acceleration and is now riding tempo

Contador's tempo should be higher than Valverde's imo

Go Valv! Don't understand why Contador is trying to out purito purito again

I thought that was dumb too.

 

[MartinGT]

Man, I finish work in 5 mins, I am straiught home and watching the last 20km

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

22%. Matches my hematocrit level.

 

[goggalor]

The last k's suit Purito. I hope he can hang on, or even better, grab a few seconds to get a buffer before Bola del Mundo.

 

[luckyboy]

crazy gradients

 

[Red Rick]

Contador is gonna do a tt up the steep parts

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contadors attack have no punch left

 

[Parrulo]

if purito is really using a 38x28 he might find the need for something lower on this ramp

 

[Publicus]

This.looks.painful.

 

[ggusta]

22%. Matches my hematocrit level.

That's almost my body fat %

 

[Hugo Koblet]

De Gendt blowing up

 

[Publicus]

Contadors attack have no punch left

I don't know that he's attacked.

 

[SafeBet]

Cataldo solo!!!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]
