Well, speaking with friends and family about cycling, I hear the names Landa and Contador thrown out as super likeable as well. Super cool persons, both of them, as well as Quintana

I never speak with friends and family about cycling because everyone else in Germany hates the sport...
Landa rose too quickly + Astana.
As a former Schleck fan all the way since I started following cycling, Contador was always the rider I least want to do well. Plus the Clentie stuff.
And I always said that I could see Dumoulin as a Wiggo-type rider, perhaps winning a ITT-heavy Tour and many week long races. I know, its super early, but still, you dont just do what he did today...
Interesting prospects already, Astana falling somewhat apart and some other names showing up

Hard work following that on twitter but I got the flavour on what seemed a very dramatic final climb.
It is refreshing to get a climb not 'Sky-borged' or 'Astana/Movistar clusterF***'. No big gun really on form.
Quintana boom is a bit of a shock. To be honest Valv, Froome, Purito, Quintana all in same ball park. Roche being in decent nick will be a boost to Sky hopes. Pretty bad day for Astana though - the three pronged attack down to one and Aru did not look that great considering he supposed to be in top shape.

it is way to early decide who is great/bad shape on this vuelta
Hahahahahaahahah
There was not a gap between Froome and Valverde
Also
31.NIBALI Vincenzo + 01' 28''
Terrble
Aru also not that good
Landa not too bad though
EDIT:And Valverde's bonus seconds are not counting too

Didn't get to watch until the last 2km, but that lift from Nibali is just hilarious. It kinda resembles those stories in the first years of the Tour, when riders would take trains to get to the finish.
