Vuelta 2012, Stage 17: Santander > Fuente Dé (187 km)

[JimPanzen]

I really have goose bumps right now

 

[Walkman]

Jrod is about to experience what Evans felt like on Galibier. Wonder if he is up to the task...

 

[Parrulo]

i don't like to brag nor anything but i was the first one saying he would win the vuelta on this stage/climb

 

[vcampbell]

Oh yes, last year Alpe d'Huez, now Fuente De, or Val di Fassa. Welcome back true cycling

 

[meat puppet]

17 to go and 2min. I seriously think AC has this, barring implosion.

 

[Publicus]

Harmon is a farking moron.

 

[vcampbell]

i don't like to brag nor anything but i was the first one saying he would win the vuelta on this stage/climb

And we will remember

 

[Descender]

Does anybody know if we'll get photos from Contador's attack?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Can somebody explain the very simple situation to Harmon please

 

[sultanofhyd]

Harmon doesn't have a brain.

 

[Netserk]

F.uck all the mountain stages THIS is EPIC!

 

[Miburo]

yeah and I agreed with you although i thought it would be on fuente de though.

Kudos to you lol

 

[Publicus]

Ok, this is 2' now. And no reaction from Purito.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Finally, we'll get to see how well Rodriguez really climbs. Gap over 2 minutes now. Incredible.

 

[T-Nielsen]

And maybe he felt that it was to early (i.e. that they could pull it back easily)

How many teammates did he have at that point ?

 

[sultanofhyd]

Saxo supplying to Tiralongo, ROFL.

 

[skidmark]

Harmon is a farking moron.

Always true, but what is it this time?

 

[Classic]

How is this situation even remotely confusing? It seems incredibly straight forward to me, then again I'm not a Eurosport commentator...

 

[ruamruam]

Best stage win Contador ever gifted was that one to Tiralongo

 

[trevim]

Hey you said he would win on the final climb! You compared it with Col de Manse, I remember

We need to open a "Alberto Contador Epicness Thread"

 

[Mellow Velo]

The wheels have come off Team Harmon and co.
He hasn't a clue whats happening and flat out lied about the live feed.

Gap now over 2 minutes and climbing......

 

[MartinGT]

Whats Harmon saying?

Man, this is mental! Is Purito ill or something?

 

[Descender]

Did you say on this stage, or on the Fuente Dé climb? It's a relevant difference. Your glory depends on it.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Saxo handles bottles out to everyone, haha.

race on! Yowwweeeee!

I was just thinking about this this morning - if AC can't distance in the mountains, maybe he could try off the mountains - but I thought nah, nobody has successfully done that in EONS!

Love it!
