Vuelta a España - Stage 21 San Sebastián de los Reyes - Madrid 85km

Well boys and girls. This is it for GTs 2010. A short final stage. A nibali proccesion through Madrid. 1 obvious favourite for the stage.

How much I like the Vuelta, this is a Vuelta stage pretending to be a Tour stage and Madrid pretending to be Paris.

Sorry, simply doesn't work.

About time you got it up, what took you so long ?

(Thanks for doing the stage intros and changing-the-stage-number-in-the-code duties over the last 3 weeks. And for all the fish.)

Anyone but Cav. Wishful thinking I know.

 

[icefire]

Easy: same finish as last year, same result as last year. The man in green. Different man this year.

I think Hitchy was hoping the profile would somehow become mountainous and save us all from the inevitable Cavclusion.

Hutarovich to reappear all of sudden.

May the best man win.

Madrid Circuit

I've been trying to view the finishing circuit in Madrid using Google Earth but there is not enough detail above for me to find it. Anyone have a more detailed map?

I really dont get he comment about the fish.

And yes all it needed was to change the number in the address. TBF icefire did half of them but he only did the boring stages

Ill confess, i put up with it in the hope that a big stage could come up and i could big it up in the intro. And i got my wish with Bola del Mundo

Mosquera slips into the breakaway which then stays away because of freak wind conditions. Wins Vuelta by 10~ seconds.

Haha

Here it is (in red colour). Stage finish is in Plaza de Cibeles.

 

[Zoncolan]

Benna ftw.

All I hope for is a true H2H sprint between Cav and Farrar. Somehow in every sprint they've met in this Vuelta someone of them messed up badly (mostly Farrar).

Blame Douglas Adams. I'm leaving you for the final procession day of the Vuelta, I've got equally boring things to get one with. But (also) thanks for the various bite-size nuggets you kept tossing into the forum pond over the past few weeks. Think you more than anyone kept exploring the various Vuelta conversations to be had, day by da. Thoughtful, informed, and without insulting others in the process. So, like the dolphins, I'm leaving you (albeit not as dramatic as those dolphins), and thanks for feeding me.

What a big one!

 

[insideout leadout]

What a big one!

The red dots looks very unpleasant though...any doc around?

Excellant, much thanks.

Hey guys, I missed yesterday's stage because I was at a family thing, so it's pretty fortunate that Dekker_Tifosu told us all what the outcome would be before the stage even started.

Let's hear it for Eze Mosquera winning the Vuelta, right guys?

 

[insideout leadout]

Eurosport to start the show soon?....man utd - pool is good though.

The Spanish feed is starting. Still doing the pre-race chat.

Thanks for this. Ive been looking for Spanish feeds the whole race. They got cut off in the first week so im glad it worked yesterday.

Not worth watching, i'll see the final km on youtube afterwards
