2014 La Vuelta Ciclista a España

[SwissVan]

My Predication for today:

Contador the poker player will continue to suprise the other GC favourites

[jcza]

Can't see anything other than a Tony Martin victory today. Froome probably second and Cancellara third.

Go FABIAN!!

Im hoping he wins, he has not had a tt win in a while.

“I don’t think we’ve come here with that same out-and-out winning mentality. We’ve come here with the plan of competing all the way through the race with a leader who is coming back. We’re going to give it everything we’ve got but the mentality is a little bit different because it doesn’t feel like there’s any pressure on us at all. It’s actually been fun.

Hey Guys...

 

Any idea who starts where during the TT? or if one can work it out?

[hboli4]

They start in reverse order of their current standings on GC.

Yeah, in the GC race for sure. 'Berto can more than hold his own in the ITT and with just 2 or 3 seconds between him and red......I recon he stands a pretty good chance of going out the race leader today.

Yeah, Yeah,...I'll bet Movistar and Saxo will be moved to complacency by that nugget.!

 

....but then again when your GC rider is struggling and your team is not able to control the peleton anymore like they used to......what else can you say.?

I share similar thoughts, GOG

Tony is almost a guaranteed bet but I dont think Froome is going that well, maybe the fall, maybe he just hasnt recovered, but he struggled on the slope yesterday and by all accounts its a mild one. I think 'Berto and Quintana will more than hold their own against Froome today, at this level 28 seconds is a long time to make up.

So apparently nobody noticed this.....any of you guys

One of the lower ranked climbers will more than likely take split 1 and blow up like Arredondo.

I think Uran will be leading at checkpoint 2.

Martin by 30 seconds on the line.
