Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco 2015 (6-11 april)

[luckyboy]

Pretty easy win for Rodriguez

 

[thequestionmark]

Purito!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Obvious winner once they regrouped, great effort from Henao and superb Simon Yates!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Purito winning again because of experience and terrain knowledge and a strong sprint

 

[TheQuick]

This is a boring race, nobody can make a difference and then the wheelsucker Rodriguez wins.

 

[Rollthedice]

This was the queen stage?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Katusha showed great collective strength. Diappointing performance from the 2 Poles. JRod taking the jersey?

 

[LosBrolin]

 

[DBotero]

J.Rod again as expected.Nice try from Henao,amazing Zakarin.

Re:

Tomorrow, I guess, would be the queen stage in terms of difficult terrain

 

[SafeBet]

Kwiatek 22 seconds down.

Re:

No, Aia is the queen stage. There Purito will win with a time gap.

Henao keeps.

What do you mean by that? Obvious how? He was not the fastest guy in that group

Today the only thing Purito had to do was weelsucking. Zakarin was in front, so he could have won if he and Henao weren't caught.

Katusha really couldn't lose today, because Purito knows this finish perfect.

Re:

Zakarin reminds me somehow of that Sky rider who won TdF 2013.

True,Froome found his lost brother

 

[AlexNYC]

I don't think Quintana is in top shape yet. If he was, he would've taken advantage of the mayhem caused by Henao to break to put some of the main rivals away. I'm thinking of Kwiatkowski, TVG, and even Purito, who is still vulnerable IMO.

 

[phanatic]

Disappointed that J-Rod doesn't get the jersey on the count back. Perhaps the lower positions (e.g., outside top ten or twenty) should be accounted equal for the same reason there is a 3k rule.

 

[DBotero]

Re:

Who is Zakarin?

He won Tour d'Azerbaidjan last year.

 

[jens_attacks]

disappointing ascent. i hope zakarin can win the overall, he showed some ballz today

 

[Bushman]

Zakarin surprised me, strong effort to stay in Henao's wheel. Henao also really good, it's nice to see him again.

Quintana disappointing though, he should've taken som time today I think.

I think Henao is deserving of being first. Purito has won these stages by out foxing the others, but Henao is the one who has put in the real fight from the beginning. I'm actually disappointed he hasn't distanced Quintana and Purito, and he doesn't even have a stage win...

 

[TomekA]

Henao is the strongest, he attacked too early.

 

[Futuroscope]

Purito wasn't the strongest but he was the smartest and they had the team advantage at the end.

Henao should be able to gain some time on Purito if he can time his attack better.

 

[Arredondo]

Arrate just isn't a tough climb. Just look at results in the last 3 years. Always sprinting with a group of around 10 guys.

Big gaps are only possible when someone like Quintana has a super day. But clearly he didn't had one today.
