Dekker_Tifosi said:Didn't Purito lose the points jersey on the last day last year as well?
Libertine Seguros said:Yup. Purito probably loses Combinada too as Valverde is higher on GC.
El Pistolero said:At least the Combinada jersey wasn't won by the overall winner this time. The last time that happened I think was in 2003 again with Valverde. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong.
Purito only likes Red, he didn't really care for the other jerseys. I'm sad too because he had the chance to win, yet again, another GT.Libertine Seguros said:I'm pretty sure you're right. I'm glad it wasn't won by the GC winner because at least it provides it with some legitimacy as a competition for once. But even so, I'm sad for Purito.
GroupDK said:congrats to Contador with the Vuelta victory and impressive riding from the danish team SBTB which I reckon been the strongest team, partically in the mauntains.
I for one´ didnt expect that superior riding from SBTB (saxo bank & Tinkoof bank) this season.
been the force that suply impressive tactics on many stages and not least something like 50 attacks from Contador, wich give him five second places and a critical 1 place on a stage that takes center stage this vuelta & not least significant part in history books.
great race and great show and why I for one love see procycling and partically the 3 grand tours..
will miss the vuelta tommorrow at 16´ clock, great way to chill after a long day speculating on the stockmarket
