Vuelta a Burgos 2015

[De Snelle Duif]

Damn, that sucks for Caja. Only 4 needed at finish?

In a stage as Andorrra, for me Landa is just weaker than Quintana, if he is ok, and if Quintana is tired form the Tour, who knows, but in the ITT of course Nibali is much better.

Nibali is of course much better, but he is no great TTer either. In fact i have no clue, at what place he is in his TTing. A couple of years ago i would rank him somewhere around Contador but now he is different. His climbing is a lot better and he doesn't fancy descends that much and his TT seem to slightly decline from the earlier years. His last good TT was in Giro '13 and it was a similar one to this years Giro TT. It's perfectly logical as the GTs he entered in last 2 years were mostly climbing based ones. TT in Vuelta is flat, 40km long. I would predict about Nibs getting a minute on Angelo and 2 to 3 minutes on Iban Mayo 2.0 if they will ride for themselves in Vuelta. Still i think i would prefer to be Haimaru Zubeldia-sennin than Mayo.

Nibali's TT this year is usually the only thing holding him up when his form is down. In Tirreno he finished about 20th twice, beating AC once, a second down on the other. In Romandie, when there was a climb he came 21st, but this was a fail. In the Tour it was good too. So it's pretty unknown, like Froome's for that matter.

Re:

LL Sanchez will be the leader. Monster ride by Astana: 28s faster than Movistar

Rather Lopez.

 

[Matteo.]

Mikel...Froome ?!
Oh my ... but how he is lean? He seems more of the Giro

 

[jens_attacks]

He's fit of course but he's healthy fit
I hope the crash didn't affect him at all. Mentally or phisically.
He's my pick to win la vuelta. And easily.

 

[roundabout]

nice triple chin there

 

[Ricco']

So Landa was given the same time of his team? Why?

I didnt see the stage and I just know the results becouse I was in some points recording.

We ask him if he has nothing, and he told something like: not totally nothing (he talk very little)
It looks like he has same time in the overal.. when I saw him there was another Astana.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Am I the only one who thinks that Landa looks a bit chubby in that picture?

Re:

i am surprised, but a friend of Landa told me it was in the last 3 km and he took last part relaxed...but it is quite strange that in a TTT

 

[Ricco']

It's a stupid decision. Landa hit the ground when he was already disconnected from his team, he was going to lose seconds anyway. It's a friggin time trial, the teams go with 8 elements, not 100. If they didn't want falls they should have done an autopista course.

Have we seen the same picture?

He definitely doesn't look thin at all. And that cheek looks unnecessary

In Contador's thread , many sell the soul to the devil to see Alberto so thin ahahaha

 

[Valv.Piti]

Would be absolutely hilarious to see a 1-5 Astana after Neila. Chances are slim, but it is an opportunity if LLS suddenly finds his climbings legs. I say Lopez for the overall, with Landa and either Ruben F/Anacona on third.

That was hella impressive today from Astana tho. Superb TTT!

 

[snccdcno]

Landa has now been given a time +1'08 on the stage

(extend the riders displayed to 100 to see it)

 

[Taxus4a]

This is the correct decission, I am a fan of Landa, but it would be totally unfair to have the same time, I saw how he was pulling in the Catedral to lose the minimum.

I dont know what pictures or TV looks, but Landa is totally thin, really thin. The same Luis León.

 

[staubsauger]

So Landa finally entered club superlean!?

In that picture actually it looks like his jacket ain't fit anymore. So he must have slimmed down.

 

[Taxus4a]

Today is a day for sprinters, but there is wind and in the righ direction to be a problem at the end.
