GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Movistar was a surprise winner (at least to me) in the TTT yesterday. Seems like Valverde and Cobo are in good shape and ready to defend the title. Sky went out like a train and were 13 sec's up at the first check, but faded badly near the end, Saxo Tinkoff (or who ever they are now) seemed to also fall into the same trap but to me 'Berto was doing looooooooooong pulls in the front, seems like the team may be "wanting" a little. Either way, nice to see old 'Berto back, I see he says he will just lay low and stay out of trouble in the first week, but has earmarked the two consecutive mountain top finishes in the second week as his point where the race will really start for the GC.

'Dale Posted August 19, 2012 Share Movistar, I laaik...Nice TTT 1st spot reward for them as one of the local teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted August 19, 2012 Share The sprint field is quite interesting. No clear favourites, anyone could win stages here. And which teams will feel confident enough in their sprinter to take the stage? Argos will likely do some work, considering they don't have much of a chance at winning anything else, but besides them, I can't see Liquigas chasing groups to lead out Viviani, Movistar wasting a lot of energy on Rojas, or Sky working for Swift.

'Dale Posted August 19, 2012 Share Nice in for Argos.Like it when a smaller team gets a win. Eish! Temp reached 40 in the north of Spain today. slabs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Quite an exciting finish I thought, anything but flat if I was seeing it correctly, but all that aside, what an incredibly beautiful town they finished in, I just love that old architectural feel about the buildings. Anyway, tomorrow should be interesting, they start climbing right from the "Get Go" and it doesn't let up all day. Thats also a bit of a wall at the finish which should suit someone like Rodriguez, maybe even 'Berto will give it a shot.?  http://www.lavuelta.com/12/imgrecorrido/3_perfil.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capcha Posted August 19, 2012 Share Nice in for Argos.Like it when a smaller team gets a win. Eish! Temp reached 40 in the north of Spain today.When I was there last month, there wasn't a day under 34 degrees. That area is HOT. Explains why I'm sick now in Cape Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 20, 2012 Share Very hot in Spain right now, the reflected heat off the road must be extreme. I remember last year was the same, I cant remember the water quantities they dished out but it was huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
