tombeej Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Fatboy-with-a-chip-on-his-shoulder is sitting on the back of the peloton at the moment, a regular sight during the Vuelta. He lost 20 minutes yesterday. There's been a picture doing the rounds today of Betancur hiding in the draught of the team car, but it didn't help him back.
'Dale Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 "I love the Vuelta a España and also the country. I love being in Spain. Yesterday was quite disappointing not holding on, it was too hard and too explosive. Today was better. I needed one or two days to adapt to the heat. My teammates were there to help me and motivate me, and it’s great to win another stage of the Vuelta.” Degenkolb
Pure Savage Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Had a laugh at all the chirps about Bentacur. Best two were, looks like Ulrich diet. Maybe ag2r are punishing him..
Gen Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 With all the running around yesterday, all I saw was the last 5 km. Still have to get used to Sagan not competing for the wins.. very weird seeing him work for others.

SwissVan Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 After snow at the Giro d'Italia and more rain than you could ever want at the Tour de France, this year's Vuelta couldn't be any more different. Reports coming through that the thermometer has hit 40 degrees at the finish. There'll be a few riders wishing they could take the ice bucket challenge right about now. Saw Chancellera tweeting this...4.5 kg's even for FC size thats a lot

ScottCM Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Tony MArtin in a breakaway with Pim Ligthart and they are only given a lead of 1.50 by the pelaton after 67km
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Tomorrow's stage Hmm, another day for John Degenkolb? Hill is too small and most of the sprinters here are climbing fairly well so I cant see them getting shelled, Sky tried to reduce the pack yesterday but of all the real sprinters they only got rid of Bouhanni, which was a bit of a surprise as he generally does climb well, but again the heat may be an issue.

I think you're spot on....some of the riders are battling in the heat
tombeej Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Saw Chancellera tweeting this...4.5 kg's even for FC size thats a lot I was reading reports from teams that they were using between 200 and 250 bidons per team during a stage. That's 22 to 28 bidons per rider during a stage . A lot of them would obviously be water poured over the head.
