[Scarponi]

Shame Contador was his strongest on inconsequential stages

Re:

Nibali is Froomes equal on longer climbes...this race isn`t over.

It is.

Re: Re:

Superman is so, so much better than his so-called leader.

You can't blame Aru for fading after the season he had.

But I can blame Astana for not giving Superman the free role he deserved. Instead, he had to wait for Aru in the stage to Sagunt for instance, while it was clear that Aru was going to fade at some point.

The two and a half minutes Froome will put into him in the TT says otherwise.

Where's two and half minutes coming from? Dumoulin barely put 2 minutes into him at the giro.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Great ride by Woods too, has to be mentioned

 

[Rollthedice]

Congrats Superman. Grande Squalo, this was just a sign of things to come.

Re:

Nibs proving he's the closest competitor to Froome and he'll only get stronger as the race goes on.

As usual, Nibs is only a crash away from a GT win.

The Vuelta is not over

Yeah I guess we can stop the hypothesis of Contador being the strongest climber after Froome.

Wasn't all that bad from Berto tbf, just couldn't follow first Nibs then Froome.

 

[Climbing]

Wind kind of ruined it a bit, but as predicted stage was very very hard.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Very good stage in the end. What happened so Orica? Lmao.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Barring bad luck it seems Nibali is Froomes only rival. Even then he's going to need around two and a half minutes after next weeks TT.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wilco for podium

It's like after every stage, there's a different 'closest competitor to Froome'

Lol Nibali won't lose 2:30 on that TT unless something weird (crash-several mechanicals etc.) happens.

Sky fans like to exaggerate.

Great ride by Kelderman too, just a few seconds off the podium now.

Dumoulin didn't even put 1 minute into him in a 30km TT.

Re:

He's really showing something in this Vuelta, didn't expect him to do so well today

Re:

This has to be the final nail in the coffin, for anyone mentioning TJ as a GT contender again.

He should focus on 1 week races, where he can shine, and then ride GTs as a domestique.

You can seal the Coffin with 100 nails and bury it deep. I did 5 plus years ago.

Yeah, it's almost like the situation is evolving on a daily basis.

Chaves clearly not as strong as they expected.

:surprised:

 

[Vasilis]

Contador finally into the top 10.

 

[Red Rick]

This Nibali would have won the Giro
