I wonder when Sanchez will try to attack, now already or wait for the top

Anton doing decent work. It can't be too long now

Any of the Dutchies reading Hoogerland's column on pzc.nl?

That guy is hilarious.

Gesink at 30secs now, not losing extra time so far.

yes, i mentioned it a couple of days ago. It is hilarious, he is a funny man. =)

I bet Sanchez will go at the 10% section, close to the top, 2km... if he has the legs

Sanchez looks shaky!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Gesink almost a minute behind now. might lose 5. might do enough to keep 6th place, probably not

Yup, Vuelta decided.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So Euskaltel has ridden themselves to dead for a bad Sanchez.

Gesink at 1:20

 

[Bala Verde]

Well their first goal was probably to drop Gesink... So he takes second...

Now, let's hope basso has some juice in his legs

Spain. Rain. Gesink in pain.

Other favorites together up front.

And now Sanchez tries the most pathetic attack of all time. Valverde wins the Vuelta.
I'm off to the worlds topic

Hopefully not actually. He's just came back from a suspension for that

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

that was weak sammy

 

[Bala Verde]

not a lot of gunpowder in Sanchez legs, what a feeble attempt to accelerate...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Valverde wins the vuelta

edit: btw basso's tactics aren't to win a GT but to maintain his place, mehhh

 

[ak-zaaf]

Didn't Valvere lose the Vuelta to Vino in a descent?

 

[Bala Verde]

so he wants to do it in the descent, 10k, and then go at it alone in wind and rain for another 8k of flat?

not going to happen sammy...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink at 2:45, he still has a few minutes on Rodriguez and co from place 7 and up.

Then he would do better then last year

considering he has 8 stictches in his leg, quite the feat.

Apparently he just 1.20 down?

Basso intended to attack and was preparing for it, but he didn't actually do it.

/edit: LOL, look at Basso. Scared as hell.

 

[Bala Verde]

Basso descends like a brown bag...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

the fact he is getting back on, ss aint going hard, he knows he can't lose valv.

valverde to win the stage

 

[Bala Verde]

Valv.piti asking about the details of the finish of the stage...

he wants those seconds to seal the deal

 

[franciep10]

Wow moreno is pulling back everything.

 

[Bala Verde]

Sanchez even lost 12s because valv took 2nd and evans 3rd

Gesink at 4:30....?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Nice win for cobo

valv will be pretty satisifed with that

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cobo it is.
