Vuelta 2014 HYPE!!!!

[MBotero]

Wouldnt be?He has a serious shot on Giro-Vuelta double! which is massive I think.
If Valverde do this,I swear I will kick his *** of his freakin bike in next Tour in a mountain stage.
I dont give a monkeys about french police.

Come on,have a little mercy for the veteran,if the things will go normally for Quintana,this guy should get a lots of GT wins,he can spare one for Valverde

No he cant. Quintana can do even double digits GT,if he stays health.Valverde has 1,thats more than enough for him.He should target stage wins, monuments,and sprint first 3k of final climbs for Nairo as a domestique

 

[SeriousSam]

Valverde shouldn't work for Quintana. He's too good for a that.

 

[phanatic]

I don't think Nairo needs domestiques. He'll be putting three minutes into everyone on the mtfs.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

top 3 prediction:
1. Froome
2. Quintana
3. Aru

Not hard enough profiles for Quintana to kill of Froome.

Hahah brillaint . Well done.

 

[Pricey_sky]

That is brilliant!

 

[Kwibus]

Just checked the profiles of the Vuelta.

Crap route :/

No high altitude as well.

 

[TANK91]

No way Aru does a podium, Vuelta far different. Course i hope to be proved wrong just can not see it. I think the fav is Quintana/Froome.

 

[Big Doopie]

tanlansky FTW.

Froome put about 3.5 min into Quintana in the first tour TT and with a similar TT in the Vuelta he has a tremendous headstart.

1. Froome
2. Quintana
3. Uran

 

[Arredondo]

I really hope Purito can show something in la Vuelta. Or just give some indication he can return to the old days.

Really curious to see if Aru can deliver to all the expectations. Competition will be stiff.

now back to planet earth my friend



edit: If Quintana will be down about 1.15 after tt, he can make it.

It's not similar. It's all climbing or downhill

and Purito will be there in top form

The stages don't suit him. One climb stages

You really think? I don't know really. He was better in the Vogues-stages then he was in the Alps and Pyrenees. That's not a really good sign.

 

[staubsauger]

Maybe Pozzovivo is able to fulfill his potential once over 3 weeks. He should be right there after the opening time trial. If he's on top level there's a little chance he could benefit from a similar situation as Horner did last year (Tired or not in top-shape contrahents)

Thats true,before Tour I thought he will be good in 3rd week,now I dont know what to think about his vuelta shape

 

[Pricey_sky]

It's not really that steep up or down, the climb is only around 5% looking at the profile plus the final 20k's are just gentle 2-4% downhill.

Didn't Purito loose a bunch of time last year in the TT when he had some form? If Froome shows up anywhere near his best, he'll probably be in red after the TT.

 

[Marco Pantani]

No matter who shows up, Quintana will take this.

 

[MatParker117]

Nope Froome by three minutes.

 

[ILovecycling]

Nope Froome by three minutes.

Lol, and how much he will take in TT to nairo?
