Let that settle in for a minute.

5 Sky inside top 19.

Moscon will need to make a decision on what to specialise in - Cobbles, Ardennes or Grand Tours.

He's being paid to do exactly what he's doing.

Moscon 13th on the Angliru. LOL

Poels and Froome already were 2nd and 4rd in 2011.

For some reason this makes me think of when Devolder finished 11th at the Vuelta. Moscon likely could have done something similar if racing for himself.

Devolder won minutes in a break, though

Who thinks that Poels could have won the stage?

Superb racing by Contador. He will be missed.

Re: Re:

At least Nibali can take comfort in knowing that his team performed very well and will probably be even better next year.

Yes, his main helper on the climbs, Pellizotti, will be better next year...

By better I meant new signings like Pozzovivo

Are you sure they'll be so drastic as to sign a guy FIVE years younger?! :lol:

Next year three of the best climbing domestiques for Froome will probably be Thomas, Kwiat and Moscon. Two of them have already won a WT cobbles classic and the other one is 23 and finished 5th in paris roubaix this year.

Poels could've won, didn't look all that amused.

 

[Zoophonic]

Never seen so much raw emotion from Froomey. He really wanted the Vuelta. It means so much

Re:

TJ got top 10 according to Carlton, that's the real story

WOOOOW... that means his GC aspirations is ALIVE... :lol:

Re:

Well, now that my two favorite riders are declining/retiring I might jump on the hype train!
The new Merckx! :lol:

Re: Re:

He was coughing because he's tired

 

[b.broadhurst]

Did Aru climb off?

Not inside top 50!

 

[Red Rick]

Lastly, this is the Great One's last ascent. May he rise to the final occasion.

Alberto Contador to win this bike race.

Red Rick confirmed psychic. PM me for lottery numbers

5th up the Verbier in 2008 TdS

I didn't say he can't climb, I pointed out he won minutes in a break

Did Meintjes save his 14th place on GC ? I could not sleep this evening if I don't know the answer ;-)

Re: Re:

God I dislike Poels and Froome so much.

Why? Mixed emotions.
On the one side, they gifted the stage, but on the other side did they have to make it so evident in the last 2km? Couldnt they just keep following Pelizzoti and then later Zakarin?

The gift was evident earlier, before last 2km.

Up to 12th

Meintjes would actually be a very good mountain domestique though considering how consistent he is. But he probably doesn't want to considering he left UAE

oh no he didn't show anything at all and almost a top 10 :surprised:
