[El Pistolero]

This Vuelta is eaaaaassyyy.

 

[hrotha]

I think it was Menchov

'Twas Brändle, according to the Spanish moto commentator.

 

[sublimit]

Kohler off for some bonus TV time?

Futile because he cant ITT with a position like that. Useless attempt by the guy.

 

[Ferminal]

Ok Anton... dropped on 3% by O'Grady.

 

[Fetisoff]

Anton again

 

[trevim]

Anton isn't loving this climb either. What the hell happened to him since the Giro?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boonen is dropped according to the Belgians

 

[Fetisoff]

He was OK at Burgos

 

[l.Harm]

Why's Leopard doing so much

 

[Fetisoff]

Why's Leopard doing so much

Bennati (10 char)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Why's Leopard doing so much

because Boonen is dropped. Good for Bennati

 

[insideout leadout]

Why's Leopard doing so much

It's for Benny.

 

[trevim]

He was OK at Burgos

Yes he was. Even with that form I thought he woul be doing well....

Alto del catorce por ciento??? Nice name

 

[canyonball]

Anton on the back. Hardly news.

 

[insideout leadout]

Alto del catorce por ciento??? Nice name

Yeah, we had Bola del Mundo last year.

 

[trevim]

Yeah, we had Bola del Mundo last year.

We were lucky it wasn't named alto del 20-something por cento

 

[Fetisoff]

Anton still holding on somewhat.... They haven't hit the steep part yet though

 

[insideout leadout]

This is too much pressure on Bennati, he will finish 4th at best.

Delgado has just commented what's going on with Antón. According to his DS he suffered gastroenteris with severe loss of weight one month ago. That seems to be what has spoiled his preparation.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ou est Chavanel?

Saw him 1 rider behind the Leopard train a few minutes ago.

 

[Ferminal]
