Bye bye Contador.
Froome has gone into full auto and will win this vuelta.
Calm down, he only gained 5 secs back.
Yep, but the key here is that Contador couldn't take the tempo and we have a lot of mountain finishes left like this. |

Really hope Froome doesn't win in the end. Anybody but him

Am I the only one who has seen that Hesjedal had problems controlling the torque of his 150W engine while crossing the line?  |

With a best of the rest ride rather, lol
Froome is such a freak, wtf is that. Contador using too much energy on attacking and following Valverde, seems like Froome's tactic is the way to go. |

What a freaking climb, my poor nerves.

Froome trusts his stem, rides smart and doesn't waste energy on useless attacks.

Thing is Froome looked comfortable at finish while Purito and Contador were grimacing. Looks like Froome will only get better, he only had hand fracture and Contador had tibia fracture. This is what we expected coming in Vuelta. |

No he didn't. There was a reason we never got a camera shot of him. Those cameras were right behind Zaugg. He made up the gap himself. I do admit though the motorbikes might have given him slipstream in the last straight when he caught Zaugg.

As if there was ever a slipstream effect at such slow speed |

I don't expect any more. I know he can't touch those 5 guys. But having him finish 2-0 seconds ahead of even Uran is satisfying for me.

Nah, but that doesn't make it fantastic. This was clearly what I was expecting of Martin, especially at a steep gradient which seems to suit him better |

Why does everyone talk shit about Froome? Contador's form was wayyyy more unlikely thus far and froome gradually got better. |
