Profile and weather forecast:

Official prediction : Cav

This thread will probably be used more to discuss the Nibali vs Mosquera main event on Saturday.

 

[roundabout]

Ooh, windy and rainy.

If not, boring stage

 

[Descender]

Whatever.

Cav.

Cav Cav Cavendish

So an interesting rider for a change? Unlike those boring climbers and especially that boring Mosquera, right?

Why? Judging by his incredible ITT, he'll be very good at it.

I hope he has some rest and prepare for Saturday. Dont like everyone working for Cav.

Just a wish. HTC will make me disappointed for sure

oooh, catty. I like it.

 

[icefire]

Heavy rain and wind tomorrow halfway to the finish. Half the peloton will go to their cars for windstoppers, the other half will go on a breakaway

 

[Bumeington]

Official prediction: HTC to try to split it up in the wind. Cav to win.

 

[taiwan]

Yaawn...


...Yaaawn zzzzzzz.

No, just one that can actually win.

Igor Anton was the only exciting climber in this Vuelta. I don't call two failed attacks from 5km from the finish and for the rest nothing exciting...

Why do you hate Mosquera so badly?

 

[cyclingfanatik]

Nibbles to win just to take a **** out of resident cycling genius dekker t.

 

[Ferminal]

Today I think Cav will go for the win to secure the points classification.

Tomorrow is less certain to be a bunch sprint, but they might give Goss a chance to take a win as Cav will probably be keen to win in Madrid.

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Cavtastic........

 

[Moncoutie]

Breakaway FTW!

 

[Zoncolan]

Terpstra from a breakaway

 

[Climbing]

Maybe if it's windy and rainy something different than Cavendish could happen.

 

[Jamsque]

Certainly has the look of a Cav/Farrar showdown.

 

[Kwibus]

Terpstra from a breakaway

He deserves it though!

I put my money of Cav.

 

[bicing]

If Velits can beat Cancellara in a TT then he can beat Cavendish in a sprint.

Velits FTW.

I wish. HTC dont do "let someone else win". Its all Cav.
Did anyone get a chance when Cav had 6 wins 09 or 5 wins 10 ? Nope Cav (though he was going for green tbf).
ANy minor races, someone else gets a go? nope Cav.
Who gets to go ahead and take the leaders jersey everytime his team wins a ttt? Cav.
When Cav had no chance at MSR? Greipel . Nope, just kidding

Cav
