Well, Contador has found his match.

What a ride by Purito!

 

[airstream]

we got it guys!

 

[SafeBet]

Berto did what he had to do.
Purito is simply too strong.

 

[Red Rick]

They were equally strong. If otherwise Jrod would've dropped Contador when he accelerated with 500m to go. Have to say this is the steepest (long) climb i've ever seen on television

 

[GroupDK]

crap...thx for the show alberto & saxo

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The only one who can break Rodriguez now is Machado.

 

[Pippo_San]

I still can't believe Cataldo won...OMG GOOOOOOOOOOOOO DARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

It was about time!

 

[Jelantik]

I guess it might settled now. Purito will win Vuelta looks like. And thanks to Bertie to make it thrilling. Bola is his last chance..

 

[Publicus]

This was an incredibly tough climb.

 

[DenisMenchov]

The funny guy from 2009 Giro is back to his CLIMBING SKILLS again.

 

[trevim]

Very big gaps. Only the top3 together. Purito is on fire, nothing Contador could do. He tried tempo, attacks.... Get it back together and win on the Bola del Mundo.

 

[3wheeler]

Nice one J Rod. contador to throw his toys out the Pram

 

[No_Balls]

Rabotrain!

Congrats to Jrod. Unbelivable.

Froome cooked.

 

[ggusta]

My God .

 

[LaFlorecita]

As expected Purito outsprint Alberto and takes the bonus seconds plus a couple of seconds.
