Vuelta a España - Stage 16: Gijón - Cotobello 181.4 km

[The Hitch]

Liquigas won a very good race - Giro where you had Evans, Scarponi, Sastre, Arroyo all on their own fighting eachother, with team tactics.

So we all welcome it and hope to see it in the TOur, which needed a bit of that.
They do nothing.

ANd now we are back to a good race - Vuelta with Mosquera, Schleck, Purito etc all on their own and Liquigas decide to use team tactics once again.

13 seconds.

F.Schleck/Danielson are gaining 2 seconds per KM. Not enough

Sastre goes

 

[Ney the Viking]

I'm a bit sad it wasn't a Txu-Txu day to day though

 

[Highlander]

Considering that Schleck is a much better climber than Kreuzinger and Kreuzinger is doing all the work for the Nibali group, why can't Schleck get more time?

 

[icefire]

There goes Carlos

 

[roundabout]

Wahay, Carlos!!

 

[thrawn]

here goes sastre!

 

[Fourier]

Carlitos goes

 

[The Hitch]

Come on Sastre.
Vamos. Thank you Carlos.

 

[Parrulo]

sastre goes

 

[Jamsque]

Nibali had better buy Kreuziger a great big bottle of Rioja once this is all over.

Sastre goes! He should be across to Frank and Tommy in no time at all.

 

[Lyds97]

Oh really? In that case, I eat my words.

Sastre goes.

Considering that Schleck is a much better climber than Kreuzinger and Kreuzinger is doing all the work for the Nibali group, why can't Schleck get more time?

Because F.Schleck clearly isn't that good as he hoped to be

go sastre go

 

[Ney the Viking]

is the ticker right that LL overtook Nieve?

edit: ah no the vuelta ticker still have Nieve in front

 

[rmacek]

Considering that Schleck is a much better climber than Kreuzinger and Kreuzinger is doing all the work for the Nibali group, why can't Schleck get more time?

1) Kreuziger, not Kreuzinger
2) How do you know he is better climber? I don't think so..

 

[Christomir]

Nieve has this one I think. He's Looking good.

I hope so, but AFAIK he has just a few seconds advantage. If Sanchez catches him and grabs the stage win, with all that work Txurruka did to help him, it would be a bit embarrassing for Nieve...

 

[Fourier]

Bye Bye Tommy

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sastre drops Danielson with a brute acceleration

 

[Parrulo]

Because F.Schleck clearly isn't that good as he hoped to be

dekker Tifosi the internet hate machine

sastre and shleck go

tommy d left behind

 

[The Hitch]

Wow. I havent seen Sastre shown that pace before. Hew usually times his effortrs rather than Contador accelerations.

 

[Jamsque]

Danielson cracks, Carlos dueling with Frank now!

 

[XlandaluzeX]

so whats Eze waiting for ?¿?

They didn't have a rider to win the tour irregardless.

Kreu. is better as a dometique as far as im concerned. Basso was gone from the giro. And the teams are much stronger on a whole at the tour, it isn't easy to control it. But yeah, no point of controlling a race you cannot win. And it is only natural for the leader's team to control, and liquigas obviously have the means to do so.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wrong guys attacking. Cmon Eze you are dissapointing me
