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

[The Couch]

At least your pre-race favourite is in the top 100.

So you had Betancur as top-favourite?
Well... at least he's improving: he's already 129... I'm pretty sure he was somewhere in the 180s at one point or another

Valverde dropped

Horner pulling away

Horner takes 25 secs from Nibali!
with the 6 sec 2nd place bonus, is that a 3 sec lead on Nibali now ?
Edit - ah he was 6'th not 2nd, so I think he is 3 secs down on Nibali !

This going to be come down to the Angliru, or should I say up to the Angliru

 

[musa]

ahhh fantastic stage
kiriyenka strong or what

 

[raindog]

Killer stage - Nibs blows up big time.
Fantastic ride from Kyrienka.

 

[VamP]

Horner rides away yet again

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

? I saw the whole thing on Eurosport

Hmmm, i think it is a recording thing. The program may run over time but the recording finishes when the original program is meant to.

Soooo.... tell us... who won in your mind?

In my mind EBH would have won but i have since learned that Mollema took it. Chapeau!

Because i watch it in the evening i tend to be a bit behind with this thread, hence i don't look at what is being said currently - only day old posts.

Think Kiriyenka was a bit disappointing in the tdf they had to switch him to less onerous duties, but been getting stronger at this end of the season

 

[Noodley]

Horner can get to f-ck

 

[rich p]

Am I right in thinking that Horner was reckoned to be one of the redacted riders in the USADA reasoned decision?

I think he would have been a bit disappointed to miss the time cut on stage 9 in the TdF...

...and the lazy fecker was nowhere to be seen after that.
