Vuelta a España - Stage 8 Villena - Xorret del Catí 190km

[icefire]

Teams trying to place their leaders at the front

 

[theyoungest]

3.8 km. Too short.

Unless the front group comes to a complete standstill, which is very well possible. But I'm sure at least one of them will survive.

 

[icefire]

More than 200m vertical descent in 2km. Do the numbers...

3.8 km. Too short.

yeah. However last year I remember them hitting the climb and I personally gave the peleton no chance.. but the guys up front hit the wall. But yeah I expect either martinez, Tschopp or moncoutie to take this.

If they come in together I'd put my money on Assan Bazayev .

Here we go..............

It' about time he we'd win something.

But i'm afraid someone would just fly away in the mountain long before that.

if it came to a sprint i agree, but i'm not sure it will. Being strong on this climb, can make a world of difference.

 

[Ferminal]

Up they go

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

gap is going down quickly. too late tho.

I don't think they'll come in together. Someone will drop the others and it won't be Martinez, nor Bazayev. But do you guys think Moncoutie will win it, as he should? Or is he too old now and Tschopp with his youth and energy will outclimb him?

 

[Zoncolan]

Leaky really putting the hammer down!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Look at the gap tumbling. Leaky gas it.

Considering they were never strong enough to defend evans, they seem to be doing a pretty good job for Gilbert, Or are they just about to crack?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Liquigas have done some serious damage

 

[The Hitch]

Gap halved in last 5 mins.
Who is the liqui guy.

Schlecklet still in the group.

[icefire]

[Jamsque]

They need to get after Uran quickly.

 

[The Hitch]

My man rigoberto goes.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Arrieta going backwards, I expected as much.

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]
