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

[Hugo Koblet]

Off Schleck goes! That was early.

 

[Highlander]

At least this does confirm that Cancellera is really in the race. I've seen his name in the results, but this was the first time that I actually saw him.

Schleck is attacking with 42 k to go. That definitely is showing some moxie today.

frank wants to prove he got balls.nice attack

 

[The Hitch]

Schleck Goes!!!!!
Shchleck goes!!!!

 

[El Pistolero]

44km to go and Fränk Schleck is gone. I don't care if he fails, but this earns my respect!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oh dear, Frank Schleck intent on making Dekker Tifosi look daft!

 

[Kwibus]

I was under the impression that Spanish teams do actually care about the Vuelta team classification?

Yeh they do. And not just the Vuelta. Caisse and Radioshack had quite a nice fight for the TEAM gc in the TdF.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

On the face of it, this looks like a suicide attack for Frank. Good to see him give it a go though.

 

[HL2037]

Woohoo! Go Fränk! Go Fränk!

 

[The Hitch]

I dont see it working with the downhill and the flat but, heres hoping.

This.

I've never liked the Schlecks - they are just too soft - but finally Frank shows some balls

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Leaders group down to 20.

Job already done by Nibali yesterday

 

[TourOfSardinia]

hope Frank checked his chain-guard!

 

[Sophistic]

pooh, that wasnt well timed, just 2km to the top, he is gonna be on his own unless he is doing some Sanchez impression on the descend

 

[thrawn]

major props to frank for giving it a go. unlikely to succeed though.

 

[The Hitch]

This.

All right all right. He went a minute ago. He might just sit up in the next minute. If he keeps going for it and crosses the climb first, then he has shown real balls.

 

[Jamsque]

It looks like Liqui are keeping in touch with Frank without too much trouble.

Break at the front is down to just five now.

 

[Kwibus]

Damn still 25 minutes left at work and then 15 minutes riding home.

FFFfffuuuuuuu... Atleast I get to see the last climb..most of it.
Stream not working at work atm:/

 

[jens_attacks]

well it's time for the spaniards now to isolate nibali and colaborate with schleck.unfortunately schleck is coming back

Yes, Sastre would have been proud

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Schleck being pulled back. Kreuziger again! That won't have done Frank too many favours on the final climb, but fair play to the lad for going for it.

 

[theyoungest]

Oh dear, Frank Schleck intent on making Dekker Tifosi look daft!

Well, he's not exactly building up an impressive gap here.

 

[The Hitch]

Damn Kreuziger. Hes not even going to be at Liqui next year. I understand he should do a bit of domestique work but hes trying to imitate Szmyd for crying out loud.
