That was a very good win for Sammy.
Glad to see Purito going well ahead of the Vuelta. Menchov also seems to be going better than he was at Austria.
Was a little disappointed with Anton's level though. Hope he's timing it to perfection
Sammy has a really good chance now of taking the overall.

All very tranquillo in the peloton, unlike yesterday. Another hot 40kms to ride.

 

[Fetisoff]

Menchov with a mechanical, at least 4 GEOX's drop back to help him chase back on

the opportunity to practice the last day's ttt...

Screwed by the big pile-up in the peloton Don't think any of the top contenders were there, I saw Karpets (hard to miss), couple of carrot-tops (no Sanchez or Anton), and a bunch others.

TTT's tomorrow btw

 

[Jamsque]

10km to go.

 

[Fetisoff]

Wow, that finishing climb actually looks pretty tough, much tougher then I anticipated.

 

[icefire]

WTF? Why don't they have that finish when the Vuelta a España goes to Burgos?

 

[Jamsque]

Katyusha are lining it out for J-Rod

 

[Ferminal]

Only 35-50 left in the bunch?

Purito should eat this.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

small child in 8th wheel: he's tiny!!!

 

[icefire]

Where have all the carrots gone?

 

[Fetisoff]

Is Sammy still in the group? No Euskaltels near the front

 

[cineteq]

Samuel is there
1Km tp go

 

[Ferminal]

Nice lead out...

 

[l.Harm]

Who's that Katusha rider?

 

[Ferminal]

Moreno what a beast, drops Samu and hands it on a plate for Purito.

 

[Fetisoff]

Katusha 1-2!!!! J-Rod, I guess Moreno was leading him out and got second!!!

Impressive leadout by Moreno

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

That was like an HTC of the mountains: like Renshaw's second on the CE

 

[theyoungest]

Moreno dropping everyone bar J-Rod, that's the kind of leadout you need. It's incredible how much better he is on Katusha than on Lotto.

 

[Sylvester]

Rodriguez
Moreno +2
Sanchez +7

Cobo near the front too, with Menchov and Garzelli. Anton + 20.

Great teamwork by Katusha. Karpets, Losada and Vorganov did a terrific job, Moreno was even more impressive.
