Woo Scarponi

 

[Greenflame]

Great ride by Wiggins, he might take the red tomorrow! Nibali great as well, the attack with Martin against the wind took a bit too much out of him.

Scarponi and JRod losing here..

 

[movingtarget]

I thought it was Cobo. Bad day for scarponi.

 

[icefire]

No, that can't be right

Rodriguez still leader I think

Counting bonus time they may have the same time, I guess. We'll know in a few hours then.

 

[sublimit]

Great ride by Froome!

Ride of the day, Paced Wiggins up and hung on.

TGBM NEW LEADER

 

[Moondance]

TGBM WTF!!!!

Epicnesss.....

 

[woodburn]

"Wigans was content to let them go." Clearly he didn't want the stage win.

 

[l.Harm]

TGMB leader

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

OMFG MOLLEMA LEADS yesssssssssssssssss

 

[zapata]

Nibali lost eleven seconds in the sprint. Would have been in the lead otherwise.

 

[canyonball]

Mollema in red by one second

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Mollema in red! Surely this was the last time anyone else held the leaders jersey in the Vuelta the next 10 years!?

 

[luckyboy]

Mollema in red by 1 second!

 

[jens_attacks]

Daniel Martin 23:46 , 2011

that was a hardcore climb with unexpected results-hats off to Martin, Wiggins & Nibali. Who said Wiggo was out of contention? exciting times ahead indeed
