GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 10, 2013 Share Agree with you grumpy re Barguil. Was very impressed with the way he took on Uran. My money was on Uran. Shows you what I know Yeah, the safe money would have been on Uran for sure, frankly, like you I thought Uran would outfox him or get away on the climb, but I was hoping Barguil could hold on, it was very close but I think he deserved it.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 11, 2013 Share Exactly... I think the ITT is the one reason Quintana may never win a grand tour. As for Horner, I hate to say it, but is something not perhaps a little fishy with his brilliant performances? - I dont know,....... but as Lance was fond of saying "Its not normal."

Imploder Posted September 11, 2013 Share He is coming off a good season though and he hasn't raced as much as the other guys so he is rested.He might be the proof that the peloton is clean, because he was kicking ass in the states for ages.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 12, 2013 Share I new Mollema had good form although I expected the win earlier. Yesterday was a good stage, probably the best one so far, for me anyway. As Mathew Keenan said the heart rate monitors and power meters were ditched for this one, real seat of the pants bike racing. Mollema was another surprise for me on a sprinters stage, but, as EzRider said, "Pick a rider, ........it will be wrong."
