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
yeaah it is different thing..watching he's ass or wheel sucker.
Why the fuck should have Quintana attacked today (he actually did it once) ?
To beat Froome with bigger margin?
Or you meaning was tour where Quinatana did struggle with allergies and was close to quit tour.
Damn I am not like either of them.. |

Talansky really came into his own here. Finally he established himself as a guy who can climb throughout a GT. I'm not saying he's a future GT winner or anything. After all he's 27 and it's taken him a while to get here but he's become a contender at least. Top 5 in a GT is nothing to slack on.

Talansky after Mirador de Ézaro (Stage 2): 18th place.
Talansky after Lagos de Covadonga (Stage 11): 12th place.
Talansky after Col D'Aubisque (Stage 14): 8th place.
Talansky after Penyagolosa (Stage 17): 6th place.
Talansky after ITT and Aitana (Stages 19 & 20): 5th place.
Surely he has gone through a very steady progression, enduring a very tough last week. He may not win a GT as baseballlover said, but I can completely see him in a GT podium some day. |

I don't think Talansky will ever contend for a GT-podium, at least not get on one. As impressive and consistent as he was, we need to put it into context and remember that: Lopez crashed out, so did Krujswijk, so did Sanchez, Valverde was on his 3rd GT, Konig fell asleep and lost 50 minutes, lots of GC-riders missing... he effectively beat every single rider he should be able to beat apart from Yates. Rest of the top-10: De la Cruz, Moreno, Formolo, Bennett.
It was a good performance, no doubt. But the competition was VERY poor taking top-4 out of the picture. |

Felline is such a beast to come back like this after that horrible crash back then

And of course Chaves woooooooo team did great, he did great, another podium!

If BMC had not placed atapuma in the break, they would have lost the team classification today. Went from 14.45 min to 4.43 min after today.
Great final stage btw. You could really see the riders give their last, both in the breakaway and in the peloton. People were just done for and was just riding with their hearts. Overall a great Vuelta |

BMC was lucky to have a guy(s) in that odd 30 min stage, only reason they won

Elissonde must feel trolled by Fraile, losing the polka dot jersey with one point must feel bad.

It's not a fight with Rodriguez, it's a fight with a rider who should finish "easily" in top10 in Madrid |

It was a tactical mistake by Kenny. He should sticked to Fraile's wheel, whichever group they were |

No, no deal. Felline deserves the points jersey the most and what's another one of those for Valv anyway?

When making deals you are actually supposed to also offer a counter part, not just demand a benefit

Obviously he was super empty that day and victory today is all the more impressive after coming back from TVG heights of bonking. lol

I re-watched the last two kilometers and I have no idea how he came back to Atapuma after doing major tactical mistakes. He just grinded it out and came back and came back again. The guy knows how to go over his limit and knows how to suffer. Beast!

Knowing Valv, he will most likely sprint tomorrow. He stole the jersey from Purito in 2014 as well in Madrid. |
