Pure Savage Posted August 20, 2017 Share Felt really bleak for these guys... shameShould give him the Darwin award. At least that makes it a little clearer that Louis is their rider for GC. Not that they notice there are other riders with the same kit on riding the race... Also Costa is there, and he is allergic to the front...

Warthog Posted August 20, 2017 Share What on earth happened? Did he touch the wheel in front and stop his own front wheel dead? Edit: either of those guys could have broken collar bones, :-( Also couldn't understand.... As commentator said, almost as if someone swapped his brakes around... 'cos there was nothing else there...

bertusras Posted August 20, 2017 Share Also couldn't understand.... As commentator said, almost as if someone swapped his brakes around... 'cos there was nothing else there... I noticed a broken chain as he got back on the bike. Doesn't quite explain how the front wheel locked up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted August 20, 2017 Share Note to team Sky and Katusha. .when QS aren't anticipating something in a stretch of road with wind..you know it's not worth trying to force echelons. .all you do is burn matches..last few km..perfect example of how to cause havoc..

shaper Posted August 20, 2017 Share Skittish day, lots of nervous energy, few crashes including motorbike into motorbike! Good read of the wind at the end of the race by QS and a deserved win! Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkWhat a final 10 kms Phew!Even though it didn't last, love the racing spirit of Zak' and F-Dawg's Skybots, trying to create something And Dennis (not sure if his an apprentice for GC, I suspect so) and Berto, for example, did lose time. Nibs is looking well organized.Aru bled time yesterday and will be keen to make back time. Action-packed Vuelta thus far ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems from some of the team race reports the stretches of road where there were cross winds were just not long enough..explains why QS and the other known chaos creators didn't try anything earlier... it's a fine art that.. very stressful day, pace was high all day. Nibs is very smart in these situations. Things don't seem great at trek..lack of organisation or something..surely the rider shouldn't have pull off to the side and leave a gap like he did at the end (not 100% sure who it was ..almost looked like Degenkolb) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 20, 2017 Share Surprising finish,....not many would have predicted that! Zakarin must be feeling confident, not his preferred terrain but he took the bull by the horns and set the race alight, he is due a big win, maybe its this Vuelta.?
