Vuelta a España Stage 15: Avilés - Anglirú 144km

[sultanofhyd]

Nibali territory????? Can he take a teammate or 2 with him???
IT IS GOING TO BE GREAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

He will lose a minute or two (a lot more than that, actually) on the Angliru if he goes rambo on the descent.

Delgado - The guy that stole the 1986 Vuelta from Robert Millar

According to this article, the main blaime lies with Millar's directeur sportif for having been stingy and/or incompetent in peloton politics and tactics.

Why is Sky working (according to CN live ticker) if Froome is not feeling good?

 

[sublimit]

carrots working.

For Snow or Anton? or both?

Cobo. Anybody but Wiggins probably but maybe Nieve I suppose

 

[55by11]

Cobo is using 36 x 32 today

 

[hrotha]

Because it's cycling history.

Yeah but people don't keep bringing it up in a "this happened" way but in a "curse those dirty cheating Spaniards!" kind of way.

carrots working.

Carrot = nose of the Snow-man!

 

[WillemS]

Saxo rider (who?) waving the camera away. And away the motor went. Well, that's a first this year.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Blame the mercenaries, not Delgado himself. Also it was 1985. Also for god's sake, it was 26 years ago and people keep bringing it up.

It's been said at least once already on here that "I hope Wiggins doesn't get robbed by a Spanish conspiracy like Millar", as if that's a) actually possible in the race radio era, and b) likely given how weak most of the Spanish contenders have been thus far.

Live ticker lies carrots and Katusha working.

There are dirty cheats in any nation and every nation, all of them have cheats, there is even the odd Aussie!!!

It's really down his alley...question is how strong he feels, who's with him and who is in trouble after El Cordal.

 

[Broth3r]

Is the ITV stream up? It's not working for me.

 

[Mellow Velo]

ITV feed is by far the best......the commentary, not so.
Very Wiggocentric.

Nope, not in these forums there aren't. The other day Nibali supposedly got a completely unfair 20" penalty because the Spaniards were out to ruin his chances because they're cheating *******s and hey they stole the Vuelta from Millar back then and also remember Trafalgar. Nevermind that it was later revealed to be a simple mistake and was corrected.

Two Vacansoleil escaping?

Not they are back, because the third Vacansoleil rider catched them. Nice

 

[WillemS]

Vacansoleil is giving it a go again. And again I'm puzzled. They could easily benefit from other teams. Maybe it will have something to do with it almost being 1600? Most live broadcasting are starting around now...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vacansoleil working...confidence in Poels

 

[Havetts]

What is wiggo doing in the back?

 

[WillemS]

Little gaps in the peleton, wiggins is in the back.

 

[maltiv]

What is wiggo doing in the back?

I guess there was a descent. His descending skills are so bad that if Nibali attacks on the descend today he could put 2 minutes into Wiggo before they even reach Angliru.

WOUT POELS say anything to you?

Have the feeling he's going to leapfrog 8 places or so today...
