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

[El Pistolero]

Agree

The GC contenders have made no effort to accumulate KOM points even if it meant pulling out and overtaking their domestique for 10 metres. They have shown no interest so they don't win it.

They've been fighting pretty much every stage. For time of course, but that should also give them the points necessary to be called the best climber of the race.

Anton sniffing there. Looking to slip the peloton. The others not having it.

Monfort, Marcynski, Intxausti, Mollema, Vicioso, Sijmens, Moreno, Moncoutié, Morabito, Brutt, Toribio, Txurruka, Piedra, Igor Antón

Group behind the breakaway

 

[Miburo]

I don't think the break will survive, too many rider who won't ride.

And i still think Alberto wants to win this stage and i'm assuming purito needs the boni seconds.

[jens_attacks]

the breakaway will be caught today it seems
someone wants the win from the peloton

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

This is gonna be fun

 

[El Pistolero]

Simon Clarke is just unlucky to not be called Simon de Clercq, then everything would be fine with El Calimero.

I'm sorry, but I want the best climber to win and so far that has been Jrod.

Since the winner of Boooooolllllllla gets 20 KOM points, you may get your wish.

Last update says the gap is now 4'45"

oh my!

that makes it anybody's game, non?

 

[jens_attacks]

the breakaway finally gaining some time.they will need at least 8 minutes at the top of morcuera.then they can hope

 

[LaFlorecita]

5'36" even

 

[Yingge]

Rain and hail might make the result interesting, but we wont see it as it will keep the choppers on the ground, thus no tv except for fixed cameras.

I live at the north of Madrid and I can see the mountain range from my house. It's incredible the sky is blue but at the range is full of white clouds and they're low

 

[hrotha]

Screw El Pistrollero, go Clarke!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Gap 7'08"...

 

[Descender]

No worries, if it's hailing right now the riders will get clear skies by the time they get to Bola.

 

[El Pistolero]

Screw El Pistrollero, go Clarke!

Sorry for wanting the best guy to win a race.

Next you'll be cheering for Cavendish to win a GT.

I like Clarke, he's working for it (unlike Purito), and you called him a "loser". So yeah.

 

[No_Balls]

This is gonna be fun. Low clouds and rain on the climb is always promising for a good race.

 

[El Pistolero]

I like Clarke, he's working for it (unlike Purito), and you called him a "loser". So yeah.

You mean he wheelsucked Tony Martin for a stage win?

Is he a winner? A quick glance at his palmares says otherwise. You don't really believe Clarke has gone deeper this Vuelta than Jrod do you?

I don't care whether I like someone or not, KoM should be won by a climber.
