Vuelta a España - Stage 20 San Martín de Valdeiglesias - Bola del Mundo 172.1km

[Mellow Velo]

Moncoutie goes up the road and Liquigas...........take over on the front.

@Mellow Velo: Strange, I didn't know Liquigas had 1 rider in a Saxo Bank jersey leading the peloton. Is that some kind of special champions jersey?
They're just behind the front...

Nieve looks a strong rider, Another one of my fantasy minions.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Peloton only 15 seconds behind the group Moncoutie/Nieve. That aint going to cut it.

 

[cyclingfanatik]

I don't think it will be that easy for Nieve/Txurruka this time. Saxo keeps making tempo

Yeah, probably true... Wishful thinking for a guy who wants to see Nibbles win probably his only chance at a GT. Do you recall Nieve's starting gap on the climb at St 16?

2:16

But that was a 10km climb, not a 21km one with a hellish last 3km

Nibalis only chance at his gt???? dude Mosquera is 35 in 2 months. for him this is the last dance. But Nibali
Nibali is 25. This is his first go at a gt win and hes 1 day away from winning it.

The Moncoutie group doesn't seem to be picking up any time on the peloton. I'm a bit surprised that they don't just sit up and save their energy for the next climb.

Does anyone have a live streaming link for me??? It would be very appreciated!!!

I'm currently trying cyclingfans.com, but I think they have the stages mixed up, it's not really working for me

OMG look at the crowds where the are now. Ive never seen such crowds 50km from the finish. What will we see on the Bolla

 

[cyclingfanatik]

Unless Mollema, Schleck and Contador all die in a plane crash Nibbles wont get it done in a future GT.

They're actually 3kms from the finish

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Peloton at 1:46.

They'll gain time in the downhill again in the peloton I think.

edit now an add break.

So much for a "first category" climb.

At this rate most of the Liquigas will be there at the bottom of the next climb

 

[The Hitch]

They're actually 3kms from the finish

So will they be passing this road again? Will the crowd have time to go to another location to see them again in half an hour?

Sorry to post it again ... anyone?

lol TGBM!

But with Nibali's luck just about every possible GT contender who's better than him might have terrible fall or injury the coming years
edit: Liquigas on the front now
