Vuelta a Espana, Stage 8: Talavera de la Reina - San Lorenzo de El Escorial, 183km

[Kopuliak]

Is eurosport still showing athletics? Did anyone bother to check recently?

no, Vuelta is live now ... but they missed ~ 25 mins.

 

[Fetisoff]

No they are on!

Ok, thanks. Now i just gotta find the stream, cause all the ones on cyclingfans that say eurosport actually go to TDP stream now


NVM found one.. in time for commercials

Does anyone know Palomares' palmares?

Apologies to anyone who's done that one already. And to everybody else too.

Looks to me like QST are doing a much better job of positioning Chavanel than Saxo Bank did positioning Contador. Yeah I know Contador didn't have the yellow jersey but still, keep the guy out of crashes.

Woo the Hitch on ITV

Ok, they are talking about who's gonna get third, as if Purito-Browne 1-2 is a done deal... Ok boys, we're racing for third here

Dim says there's an issue with bugs and malware with this site but I've never had a problem. Clear picture but lags when its busy.

Sorry if this has cropped up elsewhere but Nibali has said this:

Vincenzo Nibali was ok to keep racing. “I have bruises on my thigh and my back but I slept well”, he said. “I’d love if the rules of racing allowed us to lose time within three kilometres to go. If so, we could let the sprinters fight for the stage win and we could reach the finish line safely without the worry of avoiding a split and time losses.”

Seems a bit contradictory & flawed to me - although that's not an endorsement to keep the ruling.

I remember Cav at this year's Tour complaining about having a load of GC guys in the way, as if there'd never been that problem before. Can't think why that would be, if the rules have always been the same. Anyone?

 

[Kwibus]

I wouldn't mind if they made that rule.

Set the finish line for the GC 3km before the line. Only pancake flat stages ofcourse.

No Keenan, Montaguti only has 15 points, even if he wins this climb Moreno will be ahead on countback.

Colombian TV just interviewed Soler's wife: she said he's still recovering, he still has a hard time speaking due to pain in his ribs, he also must continue to do physiotherapy, but she states he mental state is close to perfect.

Barredo unleashes his trademark pointless attack.

Wow, this is amazing news.

Haussler dropped. Montaguti v Palomares.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Does Fouchard ever stay in the peloton? Love his style!

What's the story with Haussler's bike? The green stripes and the ugly white hoods. It's that Thor's old TDF green jersey Cervelo?

lol. ITV has won me over for now.

I haven't seen it close. But it's probably a cervelo R5. One of the stock paint schemes has the green stripes you're talking about.

Txurruka goes.

Edit: Nop...looking more closely it looks like an S5.

 

[boomcie]

Glad to hear about Soler.

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, BMC igniting a stage... That's enough for Amets

 

[Havetts]

Woo Amets! Im sure Libertine is happy!

 

[cineteq]

Hope ACF is sleeping by now..
