Vuelta a Andalucia (Ruta Del Sol) 2.HC // 18.2 - 22.2

The KOM and MV were at the same place, so it doesn't have to be false.

Yeah that's what I saw now on the profile. Let's see.

But it doesn't change that there still isn't any bonus seconds, so I kinda hope he went for it

Maybe he just wanted the KOM points? He is turning into a cannibal.

Remember that the Cannibal sprinted once at a banner of the Communist Party of Italy. Where are the Communists of Andalucia? They have regional elections in a couple of months

Yee Lighthart! Second victory this year already, finally his talents that come up?

Besides knowing Froome's time, Contador will have a better hare to chase too.
Should be interesting.

 

[peloton]

Sounds like almost the whole bunch went down, some 30 riders escaped the crashes :/ Seriously hope everybody is ok.

Apparently it was Ag2r riders colliding with the Sky "train" that caused the big crash in stage 1a of #61RdS.

 

[Bushman]

Lighter finding his winning legs? He does have an interesting set of skills, will be fun to see if he can keep it up.

Doesn't Froome set off after him as he finished higher on the stage?

Apparently the start order is random, save the leader going last

The question is, does it even matters? There are only six minutes between their start times.

4 minutes, and yes I think it does matter, not a lot though.

Apparently it's a raw power ITT, windy etc. Froome ftw.

But it's shorter than the one in Dauphine and has some nice bumps. So I'm not expecting him to loose a lot of time. About 6-7 seconds. If he loose over 10 seconds, he is not in a good shape.

It's always good to start after a big rival and behind a specialist.

I hope Contador is going all in and is paying attention to Froome's time. The closer the race is, the better.

Bob Jungels for the win.

 

[Bushman]

Just saw the replay of the early stage and what a ride by Lightart! Attacking on a small hill 1.7 k to go and holding off the peloton. Impressive.

 

[peloton]

Who was the Sky rider that caused the crash?

On twitter people said it was Kiryienka.
