Re: Re:

Don't you think the helicopter's a bit too high?

The day of Covadonga the helicopter scared some cows and they entered the road when there was a group of riders who had been dropped from the leaders group going through

Yeah... The mist there was like a smokescreen.
Ideal for an ambush.

De La Cruz is great at timing this GC-jumping breaks.

Too bad the wrong Rodriguez is in the break.

Nooo, and i thought it would be Oscar

Incomprehensible how Astana and especially Movistar will throw away the bonus time.

No one thinks Nibali can win the stage?

Unless Jon Izagirre shows something one would think Nibali would be given free reign.

They're counting on another third week collapse.

I would too, if I were in their position.

Bunch now reducing the gap. This can still go to the GC riders.

What a grand view of the confluence from up here.

What on earth are those Basque Country riders doing? Just showing themselves in front of their home crowd?

I still remember the days when riders asked permission to ride ahead of the peloton when they went through their hometown, stopped to greet their family and friends and waited for the group to resume the race.

 

[Flamin]

Looks like it. They even have a guy in the break.

Exchange of brown envelopes between Spanish teams...

That was the chapel which was used as a game of thrones set, right?

I don't think so (in case you refer to Mitchelon Scott, could be another team as well ). Yates does not want Valverde for the bonus second fight.

No se imaginan lo dura que es la última subida de la etapa de hoy de La Vuelta, creo que es la subida más dura que he hecho.

But they are doing the work of Mitchelon - Scott.

The hardest climb ever made?

By the way, as it’s an English speaking forum we ask if you could also put in a translation if possible.
