Didn't like Quintana's sprint. He should not have done that. If he wanted to finish ahead of Froome, he should have attacked like with 500 metres, like Contador did in 2014 (they were also fighting for stage win)
Quintana is not much fair play guy. Has proven that before
How? I do not want to admit that contador is probably done with GRand tour wins especially in Tour de France 
The way he won Il Giro and holding on to a motorbike this year at the Tour
Ahh do you think that descent which was neutralized? Well that's questionable since he was certainly the strongest anyway...but yeah got your point |

Congratulations to Movistar, they were by far the best team.
Froome was the best rider, a fault and miserable teammate, did he not win.
Fantastic year of Froome, he can win Tour - Vuelta double next year.
Contacrash never win a GT where Froome and Quintana are with.

Pathetic by Conta? What? 
He did all he could today but Chaves and Orica was simply a step ahead of him and Tinkoff.

Anyway, why do people like Quintana here? Aside the '' I love all Colombian guys randomly, because I'm a hipster'' guys
The guy has absolutely zero charisma, compared to him Froome looks a fun guy. His racing style, while definitely beautiful in style is nothing to shout about. Most of the races he stares at Froome's ass all day long anyway. His interviews are bland as shit. I totally respect the guy, but I see nothing why you'd grow to like him.

He dropped early in the Aitana ascension. He did a good Vuelta nevertheless. He's gonna be 11th finally. |

Ashamed to be a Contador fan today
Chavez is becoming one of my favourite riders.
Congrats Quintana!
Why would you be ashamed of the fact that someone was stronger than him?
I was expecting an all-out attack like Formigal or Alpe 2011.
Or going with Chavez and risking everything and doing an alliance with him with also having his teammates at the front and trying to gain time on Froome and Quintana.
At least I didn't expect him to ride like this. |

I hate to bring it up again (not really), but I guess today proved my point: Contador is also human, he actually cares about a podium as well!
What a ride by Chaves. Second time Orica has done it, I like their GT-potential. Chaves two podiums in 2016, reminds me a bit of Aru and I honestly think he has a better level than Aru. Maybe thats heat of the moment tho.
Quintana wasn't pressured at any point today as expected despite Froome's monster ITT. Thats 2 GT's now, only needs the Tour, will be a tough one. |

Perhaps a bit too harsh there?
It's the end of the season and a lot of tired legs. On the other hand a bunch of 'lesser' riders seeking an opportunity, that's all. Striving for the image cult of godlike iconic athletes is just wrong imo.
I just loved this Vuelta. The amount of "nobodies" who encountered their moment of success is astounding! Cycling wins if you ask me.

People be crazy.
But that is exactly the only real reason I see, you hated Contador so you like Schleck. You dislike Froome so that means you must like Nairo ( I don't mean you, just people in general)

I also think that Contador is done mentally as well. |

Why should it not be possible? While he's no star he is a solid climber who been improving each season he's been racing at the top level, he was here to ride support but when his team leader crashed out he stepped up and quietly went about his business working hard and getting into the top 10 which is a great effort, tired legs as per usual in this race but Bennet did race the Tour and still had it to finish 10th. Great effort from him

Yay push each other!
Wanna see some of the internert board evquivalent of blood!!
I think a lot of the folks root for Quintana cuz he's the lesser evil than Froome.
Or for Contador and he's pretty evil too but at least races in an entertaining manner.

Where did I say that? Unless ''most of the race'' qualifies that, which would make you look stupid for denying a simple fact. Because Quintana is definitely not attacking more than he stares at his ass 
I really don't see how you got from that statement that Quintana is a wheelsucker really, he's obviously not lol
