Well, Tinkov seems to have heard the same "neutralise"
Guess he's watching on TV as we do.
LOL well he is also in the team car, so he heard it from both sides.
And infact, probably the only 'team manager' to have ridden the climbs today!

Nobody knew what was going on, in this weather up the Stelvio it was real confusion. So, Quintana and Rolland slipped away, Uran may not have seen it or underestimated their move - and off they were.
That would have explained 30 secs, but 2 minutes???
Something MUST have happened!
Why must something have happened?
It was a mess on the Stelvio summit and once they went down maybe Rolland (who has been attacking alot) and Quintana just decided to take the risks that the other main contenders didn't have the bottle to do. It is pretty straight forward
Why?
2 minutes is soooo much time on a descent and Uran was basically rolling down that descent. Plus it was only 5 other guys than Quintana, who got there with him. I am pretty sure that the other GC contenders would have noticed it.
It wouldn't be the 1st time that GC contenders have attacked on a descent and gained good time, it would have been koas at the top and also bloody cold which also would have played a factor. To me it looks like the took the risks others didn't

For anybody wondering about Stelvio: On 30th August, it's the car-free day.

Gap is going down fast, but maybe Quintana is saving himself with setting moderate tempo?

Apparently there was a message that the descent of the Stelvio would be neutralised. So everybody, besides Quintana, Rolland and Hesjedal, took it easy on the descent. Then it turned out the race isn't neutralised and now Quintana has gained roughly 2 minutes on Uran.
Thanks.
I guess Quintana is going to win now.
Yep, unless something happens from official side , which has to happen if its true that a message got out to some but not all team cars. |

But you really like Evans, so there is no different option for you atm considering Quintana, although he is for sure not to blame. |

What do you suggest? No gaps at the end of the day? Should Nairo be "punished" for something that is not his fault? He risked himself, so he shouldn't pay for the organisers mistake :S |
