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

[roundabout]

Too bad that the others are content to ride in formation behind Kreutziger

 

[hfer07]

that was kind of dumb move by Frank- waste of energy having 40 km +- to go...
Riis is probably laughing at him

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.

Few things more annoying than a super-domestique with a work ethic!

is anyone (top 10 GC) missing from the Nibali group?

I am actually pleasantly surprised by the maturity shown by Kreuziger. I fully expected him to not being ready to work for Nibali once his own chances were gone. Kudos to him.

Liquigas offered to Kreuziger to ride Vuelta as leader with Nibali, but Kreuziger said he would rather help Nibali to win this. Despite the fact he is leaving Liquigas, he wants to help them win the Vuelta. Character.

There's 15 left in the leaders group, and I think that includes the whole top 10.

Before the start of Vuelta, he said he won't go for GC, he said he will rather help Nibali...

I like the way Euskaltel just won't quit.

 

[roundabout]

Well that was underwhelming

 

[jens_attacks]

well nothing will happen.probably rodriguez will take some bonus seconds and that's it.i miss floyd landis.

 

[max_powers]

LL Sanchez a favorite pro.
smooth standing bidon grab, eject 1 while holding another

I must have missed that then.

 

[XlandaluzeX]

The EuskaTrain was pretty fun to watch, but I think it was probably wasted effort. This break is gonna get brought back.

Txurruka doesnt ride for the ephemeral glory of a stage win, he rides for the Nobel prize

 

[Jamsque]

The gap is going back out, looks like the pace eased off in the favourites group after Frank got caught.

 

[rmacek]

I must have missed that then.

What's essential in these stages is that there isn't any flat between the last 2 climbs.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Biel Kadri, a young climber with Ag2r, pulling on the front.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

In a hurry to get to the shops?

 

[icefire]

Nieve may overtake Roche in GC

 

[hoolaparara]

Well I figured Denis Menchov was only still riding to do something today but apparently not. not with the red jersey group and not in the break?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nieve may overtake Roche in GC

Not unless he has rockets in his shoes. He's 5 mins 40 behind. LL Sanchez is closer to jumping into the top 10.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Looked like Allan Davis at the back of the GC group

 

[whittashau]

Roman has done a great job for Nibali the last few days. Liquigas really will need another strong mountain domestique if they are to continue this great GT success next year.

That Kreuziger is a nice guy giving a bottle to CVV
