2016 Vuelta a España

[HappyMartin]

The moment they hit the slopes the Froome group starts to close. Come on Cntador.

Where's the Peloton?

[Gen]

Wendy wants to by LM's European mom I'm sure!

He he he

[HappyMartin]

Where's the Peloton?

No idea. Not getting a mention at this point. Froome group we know is 2:14 back

['Dale]

 

21km remaining from 118.5km

 

Andrey Zeits takes it up in the second group for Astana. The gap currently stands at 2:15 with just over 20km remaining

['Dale]

Rovny and Trofimov are doing the bulk of the work now as Fernandez falls away, leaving Quintana with just the one teammate up there.

['Dale]

Froome sits in second wheel, head buried in his stem, allowing himself momentary glances up at the road.

I have no idea what Astana are doing...it's only Bert and Nairo up the road.. no one that is challenging Scarponi position..all I can think of is that they hate Bert THAT much. Or that Froome wrote a few cheques [emoji6]

 

 

Maybe next time LLS is in the break Sky won't chase [emoji53]

In the lead group...

 

Davide Formolo started the day 11th at 6:41 and is keen to push on to maximise his gains.

At this rate the leaders will finish before the peloton pass us

[Gen]

At this rate the leaders will find before the peloton pass us

Still nothing

..shees

[Bonus]

David Lopez just passed. Broken I think.

['Dale]

17km remaining from 118.5km

 

So, we're coming up to the all-important final climb. Here it is:

 

Alto de Formigal (Cat 1): 14.5km at 4.6%

With you on that. Maybe just testing / showing off latest non detectable drug coming out of Kazachstan?

The leaders mustn't go mess this up now
