Vuelta a Espana Stage 12: Ponteareas - Pontevedra 167,3 km

[kurtinsc]

So Mollema got almost as many seconds from sneaking an intermediate sprint as Rodriguez got in the finish yesterday?

For some reason, I find that very humorous.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

no way this break with Mardones is going to last

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

so they are saying Mardones was shortlisted by Spain for the World's. So hes probably making a statement here

I agree.

[LaFleur]

Ok, so I just got back home. Did Taaramae start or not? And what is this about Mollema getting the sprint? How far out was it? Did he get in the break in the start to get these seconds?

Who the hell is Mardones. It's Maté. Seriously people, Spanish names are not that complicated.

Really! Just drop in lots of Z's and X's.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I agree.

....

Smart. Again.
But I know Mollema can't save himself with smart riding on Angliru. It's every man for himself there and I think with the current GC situation and history in mind Nibali will strike there.

 

[Zoncolan]

Sagan FTW.

 

[virandociclista]

Mollema takes 6 seconds with that bonification sprint.

Wow other GC contenders must have been sleeping

Mollema is a very enjoyable rider!!

As AC is on vacation... I will join the "dutch mafia" in this vuelta: GO MOLLEMA!!!

Its ok, some people on here are still calling Wiggins, Wigans

 

[Nielsa]

The Wigans thing has to do with Wiggins comparing Garmin to Wigan Athletic (not a great football team) and Team Sky to Manchester United.

Haha,when did he say this?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Haha,when did he say this?

When he transferred to Sky

 

[MartinGT]

When he transferred to Sky

Oh dear, a bet he feels a bit daft now.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Could be worse I suupose, he could have suggested that Garmin were Accrington Stanley.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Thanks, I didn't know that was the origins of the Wigans thing

here's the article that reports the quote.

I'm rooting for Kessiakoff, but Mollema winning would be funny too since it would vindicate all the completely baseless (as far as I could see) TGBM stuff in this forum.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Me neither (the Wigans origin).

meanwhile - update on the break. They only have 4 minutes now after 92ks, being 9 minutes up at 50k. Still 75k left. They don't have to ride that hard in the bunch

Now that would be funny

You are confusing spanish with basque now.

edit: Very nice by Mollema taking those bonis!

 

[Jux1893]

It's also true for Galego and a little for Castillian.

Anyway, I was just trying to make a funny --> big fail

Or I don't have any sense of humor
I think the x is being used a lot in Catalunya as well. Not sure though. I remember being in Javea, which used the be called Xavia. That's between Valencia and Alicante though. Not really in Catalunya.

LOL, Rojas tipping Bennati for a top 3 on Spanish TV
