Why is Quintana not attacking. Or Valverde? Idiots again.

Dumoulin just needs 1.51, shouldn't be an issue unless he does something silly

(or gets hit by a moto)

a) No lie, I had a dream Frank Schleck was riding up the coast with my regular weeknd riding group last night. Imagine my surprise when I woke to see what was going on at the Vuelta

b) Can't wait until Dumoulin puts all these skinny punks to the sword at the ITT.

It has been a bit refreshing not to have them boring everyone to death while protecting their podium place.

Rodriguez had no time for fools in the post stage interview. Walked out after about 2 questions.

All the big boys are on the course now and Dumoulin is flying. He just passed Nieve like he was standing still.

Yeah he's going to wipe the floor with Purito at this rate. 1'11" down already

Hes got 45 seconds on Aru too I think? Maybe hes gone off far too quickly and will fade, but at this point hes going to put at least 2 minutes into Rodriguez.

It's been a good run for Dumoulin but with no team support I think he has zero chance of defending three seconds on the medium mountain stages in the last week.

You should try it, it's a real buzz.

Lotto-Jumbo pretty much said they're gonna support him.

(Riding combine, that's some old fashioned cycling)

Yeah, pretty much.

also, Giant-Alpecin started out as Skil-Shimano, the biggest upset in the vuelta was Eric Caritoux winning by six seconds in 1984.. who rode for: Skil. :)

They're obviously not the same team, but in the early years the skil-shimano kits were really similar to the old skil kit from the 80s.
