T-Bob Posted May 28, 2014 Share Was a term coined by the early Colombian / Cafe De Colombia pioneers in the european tours. Means 'beetle' and was used by Parra, Herrera, etc. TALUS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Share Teams are looking for time to be removed from NQHow to is not clear Oi! (If there is enough agreement within the peloton, then this is possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Share After battling through the snow and freezing conditions yesterday, the peloton have got clear skies and sunshine for today's stage. Perhaps the good weather will go some way to abating the ill-feeling from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 28, 2014 Share !!! There were a few DNFs after yesterday's stage, although it's a surprise that there weren't more considering the conditions. The riders who failed to finish yesterday are Daniele Colli & Mauro Finetto (both Neri Sottoli), Arnaud Courteille (FDJ), Thomas Dekker (Garmin-Sharp), Alessandro Petacchi (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) and Michele Scarponi (Astana) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted May 28, 2014 Share If they do take time off NQ the most they can take is 1:36 - his gap at the bottom of the descent - which still keeps his in pink. Fair enough I reckon given the "hold position and no attacks on descent" communication. So RH almost beat NQ - impressive! What's more impressive is that he outclimbed Evans, UranUran, Pozzi, Kelderman, Majka and all the other GCers. Well impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me bad. What's fair is fair I dunno how they are going to combat Quintana - he is superiorA bad day might. But he's had them already TALUS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
