Way to go Bauke.
Btw, it's not that far that Richeze'd could become an expression. |

If you think that's bad, you should listen to the Dutch Eurosport commentators. They REALLY freaked out!
That's why you should watch the NOS Livestream in the weekdays, then they have great commentators.
wait, they do that?
why didn't I knew that
still: WHAT THE HELL!

Where is jesleyh?????? It can't be, that he missed this one???
Still, great attack by Mollema and a deserved victory. The Vuelta sprints remain completely unpredictable.

Well, the WC is a big goal for him, the Vuelta is basically preparing for the WC for him. But he could be an outsider yeah, not any more than that though.

Nice win there for Mollema!
Valverde should have sprinted there. Could have taken bonusses.

Mollema FTW!
I don't expect anything in the WC from him though, he wanted to ride a good Vuelta with a good overall, when you want something like that you won't be in perfect shape for the WC.
He isn't in great shape right now and he won't be in the WC, season is too long for him. |

Sorry, but I totally disagree.
He didn't want to ride a good GC. He wanted to look how it goes, and if he loses (a decent amount of) time just once, he would drop it instantly. He did not peak for the Vuelta.
And he isn't in an amazing shape.

Tanel Kangart was on attack today. Why would Astana manager waste energy of their important domestique? Do they think Nibali is going to lose Vuelta and would rather salvage a win? Because, power numbers shows that Nibali has weakened since Giro and Astana might have changed plan, as ultimately strongest will win Vuelta due to types of stages remaining and no tactics and no team can save race if leader is weak. |

It was to sneak away possible time bonus that Valverde could've sprinted for. |
