Looks like Niballi has said he felt really great this Vuelta in fit. Suggesting the problema is the level of this Vuelta and the contenders.

Re:
yes Meintjes says the level is above the Tour ...as he is at the same level of the Tour but further back
Also others riders saying they are in their best form but not in the usual positions as level is so high

Re: Re:
Non-British Europeans don't understand the British imperial mentality. There are many people who considered themselves nothing but British yet they weren't born in Britain, their parents weren't born in Britain, their grandparents weren't born in Britain, they neither lived nor died in Britain, some never even stepped foot on the island. Look at another cycling example, David Millar, born on a former British colony (Malta) and raised in a then-British colony (Hong Kong), or Jeremy Hunt, born in Canada. I personally know or have worked with British people born in Malta, New Zealand, South Africa, (West) Germany, Peru, the United States and I'm sure other places too. There's never any question of dual loyalty; this is a common experience among a certain class of the British.

Apparently the top riders are pulling out more watts in the Vuelta than in the Tour; this has yet to be confirmed, though.

Re: Re:
Not just the level of contenders (and the number ) which is true
There are also murmurings about the performance level which Meintjes meant
And Nibali meant it too

Meintjes may not be the best metric but I've heard at least one poster mention that the top performers were pulling over 7 watts/kg. Simply amazing, if true.

The climbs are also significantly shorter, so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if Froome was better for example and that the general level is higher. Nibali also said his watts are the highest ever so if thats true, we will be in for fireworks in the high mountains.DanielSong39 said:

I see what I see and all the top riders (including Froome) simply look better in the Vuelta than the top riders in the Tour. It's possible that it's an optical illusion, but even if it is - they look great!

Re:
No they dont ....and the watts are over the whole stages not just the final climbs
Every stage has been ridden hard and fast ... not one stage has been easy ...that is what is the issue not 13 minute climbs
