Vuelta 2017, Stage 8 : Hellín / Xorret de Catí. 199,5km

[Vasilis]

Kind of disappointed that no GC rider wants to do anything, Sky has been on the front every day and they don't chase the breakaway down.

Re: Re:

This year Spanish TV broadcast has a big improvement. TVE has a new helicopter to take better views of the beautiful places of the race. They also have mini-cameras inside the bikes of some cyclists.

extra high quality pics of spanish highways

The views taken from the new helicopter is not about highways.

Yes, the broadcast has improved.
What a region has to offer matters as well.

He may have a chance, but he'll probably have to work for Majka.

The one person who needs the bonus seconds is Alberto Contador....why are Trek not chasing the break

SKY dont need to chase anything ...

Thanks!

Perfect quality on my Smartphone (looks like 720p), a bit less on PC (380p) but still ok, thanks again.

Are those *** "ca" commercials deliberately obnoxious using some weird reverse-psychology? I've rarely seen an ad that pisses me off as much, and if I were looking to buy whatever it is they are selling, I would ignore them just because of that.

Trek don't have a strong enough team on this terrain to chase down such a big break.
I'm disappointed they are going all the way because I thought this was a good opportunity to win a stage for Alberto but it is what it is.

I guess that the teams have the upcoming two weeks in mind. Such difficult and hard stuff is coming. And this stage today is really something nobody likes. It's really hot and it's not rolling at all. Up and Down all day. We will see people die on Xorret.

Tomorrow is better

My god BMC and Cannondale come to the front of the peloton

 

[klintE]

Canondale now feel committed to chase
C'mon guys, what for? Sky will defend your GC position

 

[dgodave]

Looks like all the best castle places are already taken.

Re: Re:

Yes but I don't think it's realistic to believe Alberto will have a 100% efficiency. It's a shame to throw away opportunities like that.
I don't think he has a chance to win on harder stages or longer climbs.

Woods wants to win the stage ...what else?

 

[rick james]

Moscon on the front already, some will be happy

 

[Vasilis]

Are Sky already burning Rosa and Moscon instead of Puccio?

should have started earlier then... Cannondale is an embarrassing team.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Buchmann making a move.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Buchmann is such a strong rider. 2nd GT in a row and he's only 24.
