Vuelta 2014, **el sp-olé-rs**

[cd365]

Why are there so many w@nkers watching cycling. In the riders face, the police trying to push them back, some of their behaviour is out of order.

Great ride by Froome but he was never going to drop Contador.

Best GT of the three this season I would say, pity about Quintana

Hopefully next TDF we'll have Quintana, Froome, Nibbles and Contador all fit and in form.

Nervy TT tomorrow for Bertie

Bertie is a great TT-er. And doesn't look like he burnt all his matches today.

 

[jarlrmai]

Oh he'll win barring a bad crash of course.

Bertie has the advantage of actually looking where he's going.

Sky need to get Chris a computer with a little TV screen in it linked to a camera on his bars.

 

[jarlrmai]

It can show pictures of Wiggins' knighthood ceremony if he needs extra "inspiration"

 

[edindave]

An image of Froome's sensor display has been leaked by Murdoch.

 

[NorvernRob]

Has bertie looked in trouble in any of these climbs?

Not really, but I don't think Froome is quite 100% still. There isn't going to be much in it in a GT if they're both fully fit.

Possibly agree Froome not at the top of his game-this based upon his demolition of Contador in last year's TDF. Then again, relatively speaking Contador was way below his best last year. So, yes not much between them.

Hopefully we have a good few years racing to watch at the top end. Contador, Froome, Nibali and Quintana. 4 fighting for 3 GT's.

My guess is that Nibali will go for the Giro and Vuelta next year and not defend the TDF. He will know Contador and Froome will want the TDF and possibly add Quintana to that too.

The Froome stick:

Glad you circled it there @Fnaar I'd have never spotted it otherwise

It's someone else's screenshot off some other forum (I saw it on itv4 and googled for 'froome stick': got loads of 'froome looks like a stick insect' results, plus this image

That is the way to win a GT though... and Froome takes even more off Valverde, which is always good.
