Vuelta Stage 17: Villadiego - Los Machucos (180.5 km)

[portugal11]

Orica is working for nothing, I like it

 

[saganist]

Is some of the TOP 10 left behind? Why is orica pulling? for stage win?

 

[sir fly]

Even if the substantial gaps have had created, it's a long way to the line.
Especially with the tempo climb.

Thanks for the entertainment, anyway.

About 60 riders in the peloton.

Beautiful area and roads. Very few roadside spectators. I want to ride there!

 

[Red Rick]

Flecha please stahp

 

[Rollthedice]

Of course Sky are back in formation, no terrain for a meaningful attack/selection.

 

[Red Rick]

Flecha talking about riding with traction on the back wheel. Sagan would own this climb

Chaves I think. Maybe this steep climb suits him a lot..

 

[saganist]

I think Chavez should try in the Cat1, Sky would probably let him go

 

[Pharazon]

peloton back together

 

[SafeBet]

Maybe De La Cruz was caught behind? I spotted Trentin pulling a group behind the peloton at one point.
Back together anyway.

De La Cruz doesn't want to loose his 12th position to Meintjes

Orica chasing with Cort in the BoD?

 

[sir fly]

There's a birthday inside Orica today...

 

[portugal11]

Wth is bora doing?

 

[Lexman]

Majka still behind, after all the work the team has done in chasing the break..

 

[klintE]

Majka at the back, not a chance he will get to front

 

[glassmoon]

Fck you eurosport and your top 5 cross-country falls/dizzy goals/top-speed and Jamaican bobsleigh team!

 

[HelloDolly]

Not sure why Bora went back for Majka ...he is not wining on the last climb ...

 

[Singer01]

Sky must be loving this. Stroll in the park so far.

French Eurosport: chute for Maijka on the descent

 

[portugal11]

6 skyborgs, this is ridiculous

Re:

They want him to be ahead so he can help later on? Even if the break does somehow manage to stay in front, he's not gonna win...

Said he is still very careful on the descents after TdF crash. Probably don't see a reason to risk today since he is not in a breakaway
