Spectacular blow by Wiggins.
Duarte does well.

 

[superconfex]

Anyone seen Nibs?

 

[maltiv]

Froome would have won the vuelta if he hadn't helped Wiggins all the race.

 

[Moondance]

Not one but two Dutchies crush VDB2. #OranjeBoven!

 

[Ramira]

So now we know it should've been Wiggins working for Froome

Yiap, and if you take into account the horrible TTT by Sky I reckon if Froome had been on just about any other team he would've been in the red by a nice margin right now.

 

[Moondance]

Froome would have won the vuelta if he hadn't helped Wiggins all the race.

This.

I hope Froome leaves for a team that will respect him.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

don't know about everyone else, but I really appreciated absolutely no stutters, pauses, or bad video in the last 9 kms or so. That's a first for me.

 

[Havetts]

Cobos face... Doesnt even look broken...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Anyone seen Nibs?

he popped big time.

 

[Descender]

Chapeau Cobo.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Did anyone time Cobo's time up the climb?

 

[Maxiton]

that's what you get for wearing black socks....

Lol! Quote of the day.

 

[Scirea]

JUANJO! Great job, Menchov also did fantastic work. Wheel-sucking on the Sky duo then outsprinting Froome. Now hang on to that thing until the end!

 

[sublimit]

Cobo riding 20% inclines quicker than i ride to work. Seriously that was laughable.

 

[fourmi]

Brilliant by Cobo, chapeau. Not sure how Wiggins beating Mollema, Rodriguez, Nibali etc is a "spectacular blow"...

 

[Publicus]

I think it was lost in all of the racing. But very good point.

 

[Thomsena]

legendary stage.

 

[metaCYCLE]

Cobotron!!!

Geox did a worse TTT than Sky.

 

[goggalor]

Froome can still win, but it will be hard. Sky definitely ****ed him over a bit.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

fuk yeh !! cobo, wowoooooo

mollema not good enough. But a good experience. Top 5 still on the cards. Likely 4th.

And poels, freakin awesome. been talking this guy up all season.
very glad for him.

 

[spalco]

Oh well, great stage, had everything you could ask for except the rider winning I wanted to.

 

[auscyclefan94]

This.

I hope Froome leaves for a team that will respect him.

i don't thin it would of made much difference. slipstream benefits are null on this climb and I don't see him being that much closer to Cobo today tbh.
