La Vuelta 2013 (24 Aug - 15 Sept) **SPOILERS**

[smutchin]

I've lost count of the number of next big French prospects to get everyone's hopes up before revealing pieds d'argile.

 

[smutchin]

Just to compound the embarrassment of these supposed bright young prospects, it strikes me that Horner is literally old enough to be Pinot's dad.

 

[Hont]

Horner is literally old enough to be Pinot's dad.

His blood is probably not quite as old, though.

 

[smutchin]

Wow. Cracking finish to today's stage.

 

[raindog]

Barguil - a new Badger is born!

 

[Stonechat]

Yes and no disrespect to Nibali , I am glad that there is still life in the race and it is not settled yet

 

[VamP]

Hey, there is a Sky team in this year's Vuelta! I thought they hadn't turned up.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Did anyone understand a word of what Barguil just said?

They have indeed turned up, it's just that they prefer to collect 2nd place finishes
(I think it's to keep the suspicions away)


Well... Barguil just Barged into Uran's party...3 days after doing the same to Nocentini, Mollema and Scarponi, that's strong!

 

[The Couch]

Nice to see both Valverde and Rodriguez gave it a good go... both of them still have their eyes on a better prize than they have now
(This to keep the competition between more than just Nibali and Horner)

Something about his DS telling him to save himself for next week, but he was told that the same day he won his first stage so he went for it anyway, and he felt confident for the sprint or summat. He's certainly not intimidated by bigger names - love his attacking attitude.

Thanks. If he'd said it in French I would have understood.

 

[smutchin]

I was disappointed for Uran, but I would have been even more disappointed for Barguil if he'd lost, so good result.

Enjoyed seeing Purito going on the offensive too.

 

[raindog]

yes
it was a dodgy accent all right - worra rider, though!
