Vuelta a Espana Stage 4: Baza - Sierra Nevada 170.2 km

[just some guy]

Anton not looking good

 

[Jamsque]

Anton way at the back looking uncomfortable.

Wiggo in the middle of the pack with Froome alongside.

 

[auscyclefan94]

No they didn't, they split the race.

JVDB sending his men up fromt with Katusha.

Anton's in big trouble imo.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Hmm, this climb isn't that hard. If Sagan is feeling good he could win this stage.

Isn't he already gone?
And there are still 16k left of this climb. The pure length will make it hard enough to get rid of Sagan I suppose.

 

[luckyboy]

Hah, Anton and Menchov my two picks for the overall

 

[Jamsque]

Wiggo to the front!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LL Sanchez still in the group as well. Just saw him fly by

 

[Cobblestoned]

Man, you can feel the heat just by watching.

Haussler's blog is a cruel read. 20 bottles - 1 nature break
It's all about bottles.

 

[spalco]

Matthew Bush-ay not Bush?

I guess he doesn't want to be mistaken for a member of a certain formerly powerful family.

 

[jobiwan]

Go Dan Martin!!

 

[Mellow Velo]

We all agree, Anton looks bad.
Duarte looks quite perky, though, for someone no match fit.

 

[Tuarts]

Who are these ITV hacks? The host has no clue and the other guy only seems to be able to get pronunciations right. Just cut to commentary please.

 

[Fetisoff]

Menchov near the back as well

 

[Moondance]

Anton practically last man.

Somewhere, Libertine is crying softly into a pillow.

 

[jobiwan]

2:02 the gap right now.

 

[Fetisoff]

Anton practically last man.

Somewhere, Libertine is crying softly into a pillow.

And they are actually going slower than the break now too

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Menchov near the back as well

But Menchov always does that. Being at Rabo for years and the fixation of the Dutch commentators with Rabobank, you get used to that

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

The gap is not coming down at the moment. Strong riding by the break.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Menchov near the back as well

Actually they showed him on his way to the front of the group.
Anton does look strange though.

 

[Jamsque]

Who are these ITV hacks? The host has no clue and the other guy only seems to be able to get pronunciations right. Just cut to commentary please.

Ned Boulting, who is a general sports pundit, and Matt Rendell who knows more about cycling than you ever will.

 

[luckyboy]

Wait is Menchov not even in this group?! Or have they joined back together..

 

[insideout leadout]

To be honest Anton's positioning is often towards the back even when he's feeling well. But you are right he doesn't look good.

 

[Fetisoff]

Wait is Menchov not even in this group?! Or have they joined back together..

He is. That was De La Fuente dropping off earlier, i believe

 

[auscyclefan94]

Ned Boulting, who is a general sports pundit, and Matt Rendell who knows more about cycling than you ever will.

That's very questionable. They are both very biased.

 

[sublimit]

Anybody seen Duarte?
