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

[Bala Verde]

WOW what a finish!

 

[sulgpallur]

Hell no why cannot u win

 

[The Hitch]

Contador could not win that stage. Its not his style to win a stage without it having major gc meaning.

 

[TomekA]

Damn **** **** that's annoying.

Still great, he beat Froome.

 

[maltiv]

Well **** that. Poor Contador

But hey, at least Froome is human.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What the hell just happened!?

 

[Publicus]

Contador is just digging. I'm loving this (and I know I'm behind so what)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1 Valverde
2 Rodriguez
3 Contador
4 Froome +14s
5 Dani Moreno +22s
..
Intxausti + Anton? +30s
Gesink +37s

Woah Froome blew up at the end. Contador seemed to fade in the final 250, although Valverde & Rodriguez flew in the final part.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Froome dropped for the first time in his career at Sky.

 

[Bala Verde]

Contador too early like on Muur?

good call!

 

[User Guide]

Vroom just shut it down????

LOL, no pedalling squares at the end.
the alien is human

 

[TomekA]

How many seconds is for third place?

 

[GroupDK]

god damn...ahh sh_it, but he got the most importen thing today..weakness in froom..but still.. ahh what a shame

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Froome just got a wake up call.

 

[maltiv]

Froome dropped for the first time in his career at Sky.

Except from the entire 2010, most of 2011 and the beginning of 2012...

 

[Publicus]

Froome just blew up. I think Contador may have figured out Froome...

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Who disconnected Froome's battery?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Much lol at the people proclaiming an obvious Froome victory; time to pop over to other forums and watch hypothesis proving resiliant to new evidence.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Froome showing all the racing days from the season now.

 

[luckyboy]

Wooo. Would've been nice to get the win + more seconds though

 

[cineteq]

Froome just got a wake up call.

The Spanish Armada finally cracked him, yes!!!!

 

[issoisso]

Froome just got a wake up call.

I'd wager Sky marginally gained some humillity there

Contador as predicted getting stronger every day

 

[Armchaircyclist]

Aaaah, so nice to see Contador blasting Froome, even though he only got third...
Will Froome try to conserve power on the flat stages now, after feeling almost human today ?

 

[the asian]

Froome 14 S down! Conatdor to early again
