[Sasquatch]

Traitor. Am I the only Aussie who has not jumped on the TGBM bandwagon?

No. I havent

 

[LukeSchmid]

No. I havent

Great!!!!!

 

[LukeSchmid]

I am getting excited!!!!!!!

 

[Descender]

Bad news, Vuelta Facebook page says there is fog on the Angliru... we want to see them suffer!

On the other hand, fog makes racing epic...

How thick is the fog?

 

[LaFleur]

So almost 40km done and no break yet! The riders are killing themselves already!!

By the way, we could already see action in the sprint point if this goes on.

How thick is the fog?

About 12% on the AndySchleck Density Scale

Why does following Mollema make you a traitor?

 

[Tuarts]

then again - the gradients yesterday werent anything that much ... and Nibali and Purito still lost a minute!!!

For me - I think Anton will win the stage.

Yeah someone posted results from '08 with the 30th rider around 8 minutes down, I think this time is will be around 5-6minutes to the 30th rider, still large gaps but not like we're used to seeing.

EDIT: Not that I agree with it being "only" 6km of racing, just the time gaps will be more compressed.

Comprenda?

ACF vs Dutch mafia joke

Talansky (GRM), Champion (ALM), Geschke (SKS) have 1.20.

so, no sprint for the intermediate bonus

 

[The Hitch]

Wiggo will stay in red because no GC hopeful will attack.

The thing about climbs like Angliru Kronplatz Mortirolo, Crostis, Zoncolan, is that you dont need to attack to break someone. The climb can do that for you.

Talansky can climb, a winning chance? or will they make sure that he has no chance?

He can climb, but I'd say no chance. There's only three of them, so they probably won't be able to build up enough of a lead without burning themselves out before the climb.

Will Froome situp and wait for Wiggins on the Angliru?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Will Froome situp and wait for Wiggins on the Angliru?

He probably will although it would be absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Climbing]

Any streaming up guys?

 

[Ferminal]

The same on Belgian tv, where Michel Wuyts always says that ultra-steep mountains never create big gaps

Since when was bavarianrider on TV?

I Thought Wiggo Dropped Froome on a Finish Climb a Few Stages Back..

 

[Anonymous]

I was gonna say the same thing but if he placed the bet on a standard betting site there's nothing he can do now but pray Cobo holds on and wins... on Betfair a trade now would be mandatory and, mind you, an absolutely brilliant business operation.

I laid £220 on Cobo last night to finish in the Top 6 market on Betfair at 1.31

After Froome had done 10 km on the front into a headwind.

Very well.. but if Wiggo cracks, and Froome has the legs, I'll puke if they make him sit up
