Vuelta Stage 15: Alcalá la Real - Sierra Nevada (129.4 km)

[markene2]

Timer is wrong, peleton is 1.54 behind

 

[dgodave]

Yates. Looong way to go.

Plus this whole 19k climb doesnt suit a solo guy.

 

[klintE]

De Gendt is crazy

 

[deValtos]

I had 1:08 to Contador/Lopez and 1:54 to the Sky group at the top of the climb for those that want accurate gaps

Re: Re:

Domestiques should be banned from cycling. Boooooring.

Were you saying that last year when Quintana and Contador pulled a coup by working with teammates?

Yes, because Contador can pull that off even easier without domestiques, unlike Froome, who's the most boring, unlikable and uncharismatic athlete the sport has ever seen. Can't even win British Sports personality of the year, because he lacks a personality.

 

[bob.a.feet]

At least this is better than the Tour. I miss the cycling of 2006 - 2011

Re:

Contador, Lopez & Bardet have 30 seconds. That's not much with 20 km of climbing left.

Closer to a minute now. Interesting

That's tell 'em

Zakarin is doing his best Meintjes impression imitation. Haven`t seen him in the lead or even the TV the whole Vuelta but somehow he is 4th in the GC.

Nibali being smart here...

That sort of hate/bile isn't normal.

 

[benzwire]

I hold Nibali has an attack in him later on. I would like to see him get some time on Froome.

Anyone have an English stream that would work in South Africa?

Possibly, or no legs, we'll see.

But he wins bike races.

Re:

I have the feeling that contador attacked because he wasn't feeling great

I think i am right

 

[oronet commander]

Sky doesn't seem too worried... it looks like there will be a final acceleration and they'll swallow Conti and evryone else :-(

 

[Merckx index]

FWIW at this point, I believe Berto is on the virtual podium.

That's probably the plan, but I think it's a bit of a dangerous game to play at high altitude. You never know who might blow up unexpectedly.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kruijswijk still in between

 

[classicomano]

Yates not normal.

 

[benzwire]

Now we have a good quartet. Work and get some time guys!

 

[skippo12]

Kelderman and Zakarin will be the losers of today if Lopez and Contador can gain a minute on them.
