Vuelta a España - Stage 14 Burgos - Peña Cabarga 178km

[icefire]

Someone has to attack in the downhill

 

[vcampbell]

So Tondo and/or Sastre might have their eyes set on a stage victory here after all?

Remember Rabobank working on stage 11?

Yeah, LOL
I guess one never knows what might be in their heads...

 

[Mellow Velo]

The break are well up on the fastest schedule and the Peloton continue to close.
Onto the next, 2nd cat.

True but then Cervelo did work before the Xorret de cati climb and tondo and sastre finished fourth and fifth of the GC guys.

[roundabout]

David Lopez is riding hard, is the plan to drop as many EE riders as possible and then attack on the downhill?

 

[jens_attacks]

[icefire]

[Sophistic]

[icefire]

[Ferminal]

Oh we're racing already are we?

Someone got a link? Thanks.

 

[roundabout]

Geez, 5 Euskaltels are still there for Anton, so much for a weak team

 

[Sophistic]

This is more about tiring Anton, for a real breakaway its probably already too late, even if LLS goes mad on the downhill. Brusgehin and Plaza prefer a longer "race" over a short snap where Anton can use his explosiveness.

It's also true, but I think both Tondo and Sastre are as far from winning a stage as Menchov.

Cheers, just in time for the 40km intermission?

So if those two somehow manage to stay in front (i.e. - if they are allowed to), which of them do you guys think is more likely to win on such a short steep hill?

 

[whittashau]

why the heck is eurosport always playing snooker.

So glad I get British Eurosport online here. They are showing a lot more of the cycling. They've been live for the last 30 mins or so.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Differences at the moment. MILLAR David (105), ZABRISKIE David (109) and TERPSTRA Niki (198)have an advantage of 4.45 on KOLOBNEV Alexandr (187) and SANCHEZ GIL Luis Leon (058). The pack loses 10 seconds. Euskaltel's chase continues.

LLS Sanchez sat up, Kolobnev trying to figure out if he wants to continue. (hopeless)

To be more specific - I meant Sanchez and Kolobnev. Not any of the others, that are in front of them, cause I don't think they will have anything left...

Meh, never mind - I think have now been caught, right?
So I'll stop quoting myself.

 

[Wergeland]

Ahhh.. Snooker on overtime!

Anyone have an english feed?

Edit: Finally. Vuelta live on eurosport now.
