Vuelta 2012, Stage 20: La Faisanera Golf-Bola del Mundo (170,7 km)

Harmon is a moron. No way Contador is going to ignore him and focus only on JRod.

yeah.. i was wondering about that too. Why on earth is Contador paying attention only to purito? Valverde is closer to him in time?.. *shaking my head*

phil ligget paul sherwen and bob roll are legendarily bad, but i guess that's what can be expected from people wearing a yellow bracelet on their wrists so tightly that doctors have already considered amputating their hands due to lack of blood circulation.

HAHAHAHAHA

So true.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

I give Bob Roll a break... at least he's funny. sometimes

 

[Publicus]

Was Ignatiev dropped, or he's waiting for Purito?

i just don't see Purito being able to hold a long range attack.

 

[Forunculo]

Clarke KOM winner

 

[ggusta]

I don't know those.

But I certainly have never seen anybody as bad as Harmon.

Consider yourself lucky, those of us in America are routinely treated to much much worse.

Contador doesn't look like he's on a good day.

Simon Clarke takes the KoM jersey. Well done Simon and GE!

Don't think Movistar and Saxo will let him even if he tried. I think they would both start chasing hard.

 

[Publicus]

Just looking at his facial expression. I could be wrong. Maybe he's just bored.

He just looks very calm and concentrated.

 

[Red Rick]

He just looks very calm and concentrated.

Contador doesn't look tired indeed

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Indeed, when Contador is really not good/in trouble he grids his teeth and jerks his head

 

[Falken]

Astana apparently hoping Kessiakoff can do something today. Seeldraeyers working hard to keep the pace up in the break.

Go Kessiakoff!

 

[Jelantik]

It's way easier for him to win now. Purito will try to gap valverde, contador can wheelsuck and at the right time go away.

Don't see how valverde can win, in the last stages he was always the worst of the 3 on the mountain finishes besides fuente de of course.

+1
I have a feeling that now Alberto finally got the monkey of his back, he probably can win this stage. (which will be an awesome feast ) Looking back, how many times he got denied of a stage win? so close to win it, but few seconds too far… As if the lady luck denied him. Now... it feels like he finally got his break.

When he's not good he doesn't attack, yea pretty much lol

Contador Expression Analysts:
Y'all stop messing with my head for the next 30 km !!

Yeah it's very obvious. Head tilted to the left, gritting his teeth etc.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Looks like no Purito attack on the penultimate climb

 

[webvan]

Did I just see Menchov in the break ?! That has to mean he will give JRod a massive pull when he attacks!

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Why you dont marry with Contador? What type of socks does he likes? Shorts? Medium height?

Can Dr. Lightman elaborate more on Contador's micro-expressions?

Wtf
