Vuelta 2017 stage 12 Motril - Antequera 160,1 km

[LaFlorecita]

I'm disappointed Nibali didn't follow! Very small 'peloton' now

 

[Escarabajo]

De La Cruz looks like cruising up the road!

 

[Hayabusa]

If Nibali went then they wouldn't have got away.

 

[portugal11]

Where is theuns? In 2 km, he has to help alberto!

 

[Arredondo]

Conta climbing well!

Maybe he'll try to attack and close the gap to him on the descent. One can hope

Edit: and seriously Eurosport? Add break now?

 

[Popchu]

I hope Theuns has good legs to ride for Contador!

... dragging Sky back to Contador.

Re:

Maybe he will wait on the top. Remember, he was 8 minutes ahead of Berto when he attacked. That's like 3km and he can't turn around.

 

[Climbing]

With 3 skybots and wind, it's kind of suicidal, plus they wouldn't have let Nibali go for sure.
Maybe before the descent, one can hope.

Me too, but he has to play it wise, the whole damn train was there. He was chatting with Froome in the peloton. Anyway chapeau to Berto.

 

[skippo12]

Froome still has 3 guys left...he doesn`t need to chase Contador considering the big gap between both. If Nibali followed Contador they would be caught immediately.

 

[portugal11]

Ouch the moto hit a person!!

 

[sir fly]

Contador will certainly welcome some help after the ascent.

 

[LaFlorecita]

This part is not in Alberto's advantage

 

[Climbing]

Ouch that was brutal to watch.

He is loosing time now, theuns should be with him

Re:

Reminded me of Frank Schlecks famous crash in Tour de Suisse. Good he's alright

 

[Lexman]

Theuns has to stop at the top and wait for Contador

Re: Re:

Contador all day long!

No. He'll wait until at least half of the way through.

Lotto Soudal to double their number of wins. I'm missing TdG

For the second time this Vuelta, it looks like I got the wrong Thomas in the right team

But I'm happy, maybe I should make that prediction more often

 

[spalco]

Almost 30 seconds for Contador if I'm reading the timing correctly.

 

[portugal11]

I fear that theuns is riding for the stage

 

[wouterkaas]

Glad it was a motard that was hit by a flag, not a rider. I understand fans get enthusiastic by the sport, but some people seem to lose their minds completely...

 

[Brullnux]

Froome is clearly reserving his efforts much more now, compared to other stages with Contador

 

[shalgo]

Theuns has no chance of winning the stage. He also would be no help at all for Alberto on the climb. I suppose he should wait at the top to ride with Alberto on the descent.
