Gen Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Almal van hulle.. haven't seen if anyone is badly injured... but can't be a good thing hey.
tombeej Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 My little punt for today: OPQ wins the TTT with Tony Martin having taken some huge turns on the front, putting Uran in to the red jersey. Gen 1
tombeej Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 My team pick: besides the obvious one being Movistar, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion we'll be seeing quite a bit of Garmin-Sharp this Vuelta. My pick for young rider: again, besides the obvious one being Quintana, I'm picking young Ozzie Rohan Dennis for a breakout performance. My sprinter pick: Bouhanni. My GC pick: Dunno. Pretty wide open, which is awesome. Please god let everyone stay on their bikes and stay healthy so that we can have a proper contest between the best in week 3 for a change.
Gen Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Lol.. froome has already taken a tumble and they haven't even started yet.. sigh. Bonus 1
tombeej Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 MTN off first. Great send-off there. Goosebumps! It's now live on channel 207. pe3nguin 1
Bonus Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 I hear Froome fell again..what the hell guy stop looking at your freaking stem. I know what you mean! What's the point of having some flippin' "special" riding style which gives you a breathing advantage, if you fall off and break hands and wrists in the first 5 days of a race and have to go home?? Gen 1
pe3nguin Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 MTN off first. Great send-off there. Goosebumps! It's now live on channel 207. Watching the Eurosport feed and MTN dont have a camera following them. Sucks man
pe3nguin Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) MTN finish the 12.6km route in 14:42 [2] Cofidis 15:04Europcar 15:16Giant Shimano 14:29AG2R 14:46Caja Rural 15:01IAM 14:53 [On a side note - Eurosport has to be worse than ESPN when it comes to the number of adverts] Edited August 23, 2014 by pe3nguin
tombeej Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 All those MTN boys can now quite rightly claim to their future grandchildren that they crossed the finish line first in a grand tour stage pe3nguin and Gen 2
pe3nguin Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 All those MTN boys can now quite rightly claim to their future grandchildren that they crossed the finish line first in a grand tour stage ****. They get to say they started a Grand Tour. More than the rest of us could ever dream to achieve. Feeling pretty chuffed for them. tombeej 1
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 1. Giant-Shimano 14:292. MTN Qhubeka +133. AG2R-La Mondiale +174. Cofidis +355. Europcar +47
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 AG2R-La Mondiale has Carlos Betancur as their team leader. The Colombian doesn't look totally race ready with pictures showing him with a few extra pounds around the middle. Jakkals. 1
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Movistar will be the last team to leave the start this evening. The Spanish team comes with Giro d'Italia champion Nairo Quintana and 2009 Vuelta champion Alejandro Valverde. Quintana is the big favourite for victory, but he says the pressure is on his rivals and not him.
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 !!! Cannondale begin their final grand tour, with the team set to disbandon at the end of the season. Peter Sagan is back at the Vuelta and looking for stage victories.
Jakkals. Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Pity Horner is out, another GC rider would've been great for the race.
