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

he already has a contract, it ends next year.

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

Sastre passes Schleck!

 

[The Hitch]

So far all Liqui have been doing is ride own tempo and expect no one will get a big gap. Here Sastre has pushed the pace. Maybe they will be forced to respond. If they dont, i hope they lose lots of time.

 

[Parrulo]

sastre left behind

shleck is looking good

 

[thrawn]

if sastre & schleck can work well together they are capable of pulling out a fair amount of time. schleck now dropping sastre though??

 

[Highlander]

Sastre has blown again

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Come on Mosquera

The only certain thing to happen today, an attack my Ezequiel, hasn't happened!

 

[roundabout]

Well this stage is ****ing me off

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Schleck seems to be dropping Sastre now.

 

[Christomir]

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?

Why do you think Schleck is a much better climber than Kreuzinger?

 

[Ney the Viking]

Btw you guys are loads better than all the live tickers combined

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Velits struggling...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Velits goes out the back!
Schleck attacks, once again and Sastre yoyos

 

[Jamsque]

Tommy D getting some help from Tommy P now, but it looks like Kreuziger will bring him back.

The HTC rider (not sure if it was a Velits or TJVG) has been dropped.

 

[HL2037]

What is wrong with Kreuziger, does he have a built in nuclear reactor?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Velits dropping off the back?

 

[Zoncolan]

The best Kreuziger has looked on a big climb since... ever.

Quote of the month

 

[Bobby G]

What the cuff is Schleck doing? Attacking, proving he's got it, then obviously looking behind and waiting for Sastre/Danielson! Really annoying me!

 

[Fourier]

Nibali looks too cool, maybe that is why Eze won't attack

 

[Wergeland]

What is Fränk and Carlos doing? Looks like Fränk is waiting for Carlos, just to try to gap him again and again.

 

[Highlander]

Why do you think Schleck is a much better climber than Kreuzinger?

Past results, Schleck has done better in mountain stages when they've both been in them together. Look at the 2009 Tour for one example.

 

[roundabout]

Kreuziger is about to pop

 

[Ney the Viking]

any info on the times tween sanchez and nieve? Will he hold it for stage victory?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

The best Kreuziger has looked on a big climb since... ever.

I don't think the pace is anything mind blowing. They have only pegged a minute on the front man since the climb started.
Good tempo though.

Velits, Teejay got dropped a while back.
