Vuelta a España Stage 15: Avilés - Anglirú 144km

Vacansoleil working...confidence in Poels

How well do you reckon this climb suits Poels, current form aside? He's quite punchy and lightly built, but he's relatively tall and not really a pure climber.

WOUT POELS say anything to you?

Yeah, but they don't have to work for him right now. Other teams will do the work. On the other hand, it is TV air time now.

 

[spalco]

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.

It's a good storyline - the lonely foreign underdog against the mighty army of Spanish cyclists conspiring against him with the help of the commisars, don't take it personally.

On the plus side for Poels, because of how steep it is, if you look at the 2008 edition, hilly Classics men like Rebellin and Bettini are up in the top 20 of the stage.

Enough of ****ing Barcelona, show cycling again already, please.

No ad breaks with ITV 5?s net coverage, which is good.
More talk from the commentary duo about Wiggins than the 2 Pees could ever manage about Armstrong, which is incredibly bad.

 

[rzombie1988]

My guess is that the Eurosport International english feeds should be on in about 25 minutes.

They switched from Teledeporte to TVE1. If the stream doesn't switch, you'll have to find another one.

 

[wirral]

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.

There was conspiracy involving the chalkboard to allow the gap to build out. It was deliberately not updated for a very long time, in fact, until it was too late.

[ParfaitAmour]

I think it adds to the atmosphere too.

So used to watching football on overseas streams that it doesn't bother me !

Watching the ITV stream now, not so good if you're Wiggophobic

 

[Benotti69]

No Eurosport Live video in English for Stage 15 on British Eurosport. International starts at 16:30 CET

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kessiakoff down with stomach problems, these past 2 stages.........allegedly.

Mercifully, Matt Keenan arrives to tone down the anglo talk.

I really don't know. He has suprised me yesterday. He could have a chance with the same form

Ah, right, thanks. I thought it was just a long commercial or something.

that's annyoing. Stupid cycling central are showing the downhill mtb live instead of la vuelta on their online stream so I'll have to use team sky fans today as I want to be on the forum today while the action is happening.
