Bonus Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 He has his left foot hooked over the saddle, doing a quad stretch. I tried that once and cramped. Thought I was going to dieIf I got into that position, and it's a big IF, I'd never get out again without help!
Patchelicious Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Either that or he's got a very special relationship with his stem.Must be a Ritchey
tombeej Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Must be a RitcheyIf he's bent that way, maybe his stem is a 'Ritchey'. I was thinking more along the lines of a Candy or a Brandy....
Long Wheel Base Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 When Terpstra was in that solo break yesterday I noticed how massive the drop from his seat to bars is. I ride with a 12cm drop but his looked closer to like 15cm. Would love to see a copy of his setup. His back was pretty much flat when he was on the hoods. Super aero.
HappyMartin Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Tomorrows stage looks inhuman. If I was racing it I would seriously consider some very strong drugs. Like a double hit of vintage LSD perhaps.
'Dale Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Sometimes I take my energy savings to the next level. When you race 21 days straight, the little efforts add up. That is why I rarely stop to pee, instead opting for “rolling relief.” I decided that if I pee while rolling instead of stopping every time, over the course of the Vuelta, the amount of chasing I save will make a difference. Many riders laugh when they see me rolling while everyone else is stopped, but it doesn’t bother me much. I had a small error the other day, however. The wind picked up, and the entire peloton shifted in my direction, lining up single file. … And some of the guys who slotted in behind me got a bit of a surprise. One of the riders who happened to be in my accidental line of fire was none other than Peter Sagan, and I can tell you he was less than pleased! A few words were shared, but I think it was quite obvious that I had no intention of peeing on the peloton.

'Dale Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 What is impressive about this tough stage is that it starts at about 1000 metres above sea level.Then heads up and up, gradually. GO QUINTANA
'Dale Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Definitely worthy of a repost http://www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/VUE/2015/1100/PROFIL.png
