Vuelta 2018 Stage 11: Mombuey - Luintra 207.8 km

[Pantani_lives]

Exactly three years after his last win De Marchi takes another one. Always nice to see the eternal attacker rewarded. In how many breaks has he been in those three years without winning?

 

[Rollthedice]

Has anyone seen Aru?

Pinot pulled back 11 seconds on the leaders. :redface:

How Pinot lost so much time to De Marchi?

I didn't watch the finale.

I think Pinot just got gassed with about 20km left. His legs went.

Pinot made a huge effort to gain only 15 secs... What happened to him in the last kms??

Re:

41s after the Yates group according to Vuelta web site

Nice win for De Marchi. BMC are doing well for a team that is splitting up and maybe another TT win for Dennis on the way.

Pinot sucks, can’t stand him

Great attack by Quintana...........

He gambled and lost, so what.

If we want riders to be aggressive, we can't *** on them when it doesn't work out.

Exactly ....riders who attack cannot always write the script.....better than sitting in the Peloton

Rather see Pinot out there and 'failing' along with Majka, Heano, Mollema, etc than one of the 15 playing it safe

What the hell is Juan A Fletcha saying??

If I understand Quintana says Yates is a wheelsucker?

Well he is experienced in that department.

You can't blame Mollema for not attacking!

Quintana is wrong. If MS feels that the one to beat is Quintana and Movistar then is the right strategy to make them work.

Quintana is wrong.

One of those truths to live by.

TBH, I took that comment as something more like Yates is marking wheels which is the right strategy, specially in this stage.

It looks like Aru is Toast, I don't think that we'll see a resurrection in the 3rd week, a real meltdown, maybe already before the 2nd rest day, is more likely.

Assuming the Spanish are like the Americans when it comes to irony..?
