Why is Menchov riding in the break, doesn't make sense :confused:

Maybe so Katusha will have a reason to not do any work at the front?
Or maybe Menchov thinks/knows that the break is his only chance of winning anything.

Okay I think I've seen everything now. Live interview with the Caja Rural DS, he said De la Fuente got in the break to fight for 2nd or 3rd in the KOM classification.

Maybe they get some good prize money for that and its good for small team

:D Just shows what a joke the team is, though I'm glad they got a stage win.

unfair, for a team riding their first GT they have done great, certainly much better then half of the WT teams in the race.

Harmon talking complete ********

1) Mountain jersey not yet mathematically wrapped up.
2) Obviously Purito and Valverde will not be contesting the sprints. There's a 20-man break!

Give him the sack.

Who here think Contador will attack big style tomorrow?

I do. I don't think it's a style of Alberto to receive attack after attack and not attacking back. Unless he not feeling good then wheelsucking won't be a bad idea :D. Now is wet weather...oy, I see alberto is smilling ear to ear...!! :D

Why is euskaltel working anyway

May be thinking that Sicard isn't strong enough to win form the breakaway and hoping to set up Anton for a victory.
They haven't won a stage yet.

2 years ago he did the TDF on Versus. This summer I don't recall seeing him on Versus (NBCSports now). If I'm right, someone was paying attention:D

I seriously cannot begin to understand how he still has a job. He is the definition of incompetence.

Harmon and Kelly discussing the low number of abandons made me realize that there have not been very many crashes this Vuelta. Certainly not anywhere near the demolition derby that is the first week of the TdF.

He is still much better than Phil, Paul, and Bobke.

I don't know those.

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

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.
