If Froome doesn't win the Vuelta, Sky will forever regret that they let Froome do all the work on the stage to Estación de Montaña Manzaneda.
It's always easy to say stuff like that afterwards, though. |

That must have been a major letdown. The finish was very exciting. |

The stage to Bilbao will be awesome now, with Froome so close to Cobo and Mollema so close to Wiggo.
Incidentally, that's the stage where I won the Vuelta in my PCM career, so I hope we see a similar showing irl.

Not just that. The 6 seconds Froome lost babysitting Wiggins in stage 6

Fantastic finish, Froome should've had this Vuelta in the bag. Not only did he lose time working for Wiggins, Sky also messed up the team time trial. |

Well, who on earth would have figured that Froome would be 2nd only 13' behind? 9 out of 10 had hardly heard of him and nr. 10 is a liar. |

Poels dissapointing, Mollema good! J-Rod bad.
Fugslang bad as expected. Monfort also a far lesser day |

Not just that. The 6 seconds Froome lost babysitting Wiggins in stage 6
And the TTT fiasco (although possibly a little less avoidable).

Sky now have to set up sprint trains to take bonus seconds on all stages even the last one to Madrid.
Gonna be an exciting finish to this Vuelta on the last stages. |

People who said Fuglsang would be a top-10 contender someday... You're wrong. (  )
Froome went too soon. Cobo did a big recovery in the last km, but I hope Sky will do something in these next stages. |

I really hope Wiggins cracks badly on Bilbao so Mollema takes the podium. He has been far more consistent than Wiggins who is only there thanks to Froome and the ITT |

As far as I can see, Skys only hope is to take the intermediate sprints. The only problem is that they need three of them...
Can you imagine if they get two and Froome ends up losing the Vuelta by 1 second... |

How's the ITT relevant? There has been very little TT kilometres so Mollema should count himself lucky.

So is gaining time on ITTs not allowed, or this just applies to riders beating Dutchies.
