Vuelta 2012, Stage 8: Lleida - Andorra, Coll de la Gallina (174.7 kms)

[LaFlorecita]

Saxo just pulled a group of 25 riders back.

Crash or what?

Edit: nvm I thought you meant they pulled a group of 25 riders back to the peloton.

Does SBTB setting the pace mean that AC doesn't feel good?

Could you at least use a smaller facepalm image, Ryo?

Not if they're setting the pace this early

AC is probably fine, but it's possible that Saxo thought "What would Basso do?" The answer to that, of course, is set up the bluff train.

Right! Ryo can you be mindful of people who have to pay for bandwidth by the sec.?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

do those people still exist? in what backwards countries do you live then?

 

[SafeBet]

Leaky train for Capecchi is coming. You'll see.

this break won't stay obviously

only if they start hammering now,ten minutes is a very good gap

the climb is basically 19 minutes of riding,not more.so nope,they won't lose more than let's just say 5. of course they might do a fabio roscioli on cati...
