[Descender]

Fun fact: the town the peloton just left, Wamba, is the only placename in Spain that contains the letter "w".

Actually, this is the most exciting in this stage

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It's Swift time today!

 

[Miburo]

Wow Gesink can sprint? Damn he keeps surprising me

Wow Gesink can sprint? Damn he keeps surprising me

He won 2 of his biggest victories in a sprint... (uphill) but still a sprint.
He's a 'valse trage'. Appears slow, but isn't

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Sky in funeral back for Swift (or Froome?)

 

[No_Balls]

Yeah, its Swift-time today.

 

[Descender]

Bolloks. Viviani has this in the bag.

 

[No_Balls]

Davis is intrested.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Bennati I think. Very close.

1. Bennati
2. Swift
3. Davis

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bennati wins I think

 

[Descender]

[hfer07]

I thought he was done with sprinting....

Then you'll be blown away when you hear it's named after a Visigothic king.

Oh, go Bennati I guess?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Still less than 50 posts? So went people back to office today, presuming "nothings gonna happen"?
U know, thats a dangerous thing to do in this Vuelta

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well without going to the officie it's hard to pay your bills....

 

[El Pistolero]

Hey Rabobank, very smart of you to send Bos to the Worlds Ports classic and Memorial van Steenbergen instead of the Vuelta!

You just missed out on 5 stage wins.

After yesterday, I think people forgot the race isn't over. Didn't sound terribly eventful from what little I gathered. I have been pretty busy myself.

I am still enthralled in yesterday's details and many others may be as well.
