It's the Vuelta. No interest in a random top 10!skippo12 said:What is with the top 10 GC guys...only riders that can let Kruijswijk go are Froome and Nibali. Chavez? Aru? Lopez? Kelderman? Zakarin? Contador?
No interest in defending their position or are they convinced that Kruijswijk will blow himself up.

Maybe Astana were deliberately going slow? Clutching at straws here. Purche was always the better bet for a long ranger attack, but this ascent didn't hurt Sky one bit.Climbing said:Sky on the front, it's over.

The way it should be! Not like the clowns who helped Froome chase down Bardet during the TdF this year...
The final climb suits him, but alone it will be tough. He needs to hope his companions are strong.Dekker_Tifosi said:As if anybody worries about Kruijswijk. He'll blow back
