'Dale Posted August 31, 2013 Share "I have never had a Grand Tour lead before and with just eight seconds i really wanted to try for it... I was so close in the Tour de France on the overall lead, just eight seconds back, and I had to give it everything here. I was a bit on the limit at one point when I accelerated, but I really wanted to try and get the lead."

kosmonooit Posted September 1, 2013 Share Yes gr8 to see the Roche in red, such a cool guy http://cdn.velonews.competitor.com/files/2013/08/roche1-659x440.jpg Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/128821-2013-vuelta-a-espa%C3%B1a/page/16/#findComment-2046954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 1, 2013 Share Have to agree GoG. Horner has shown guts and an awesome stage win but no chance when the mountains get really big.How was that ending today? Great ride by Basso! Yeah, Basso was great, maybe he just left his run a bit late, I thought he could have won if he got a gap. Nibali seemed to lag a little near the end there yesterday, hope its not signs of the future, but then he is still well placed overall, probably happy to get shot of the red jersey.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 1, 2013 Share Yes gr8 to see the Roche in red, such a cool guy Yeah, I think he has all three jerseys now, pretty good going indeed. Seems the TDF was too much for Kreuziger and Mollema, just not enough recovery time.

'Dale Posted September 1, 2013 Share Ivan the Terrible shows consistent from and moves to 11th Uran fades. Valverde looking tough tough. Nibs looking vulnerable or is he not going too deep. Hmmm...

Jaco-fiets Posted September 1, 2013 Share http://inrng.com/medias/img/toroosbornevuelta2013.jpg Is this in the area of Ribera del Duero? It is basically between Madrid and Rioja on your way to Catalunya. I recognize the Bull on the hill. It is the logo of one of the biggest wine producers in Spain. Travelled that road in May.
