He's the best Grand Tour rider of the modern era. Case closed. He didn't win last year's Tour. But he won his 5 previous Grand Tour entries if you include the dope steak clouded win. Today had everything. Efficient use of his superior team support. A lesson for Movistar on the importance of having friends in the lead group rather than enemies. A tactically perfect race, capped with a terrific ride to seize the race lead. Great stuff. F |

Yeah whatever else you can say about Bjarne (and there is plenty) he's a great tactician. This year's Vuelta really is turning out to be a classic, could there be even more twists and turns to come? Two flat stages coming up but then the dreaded Bola del Mundo, it's not over till the fat lady gets off her bike at the top of that mofo. -- |

He'll be in a position to dictate how the final climb progresses. Rodriguez has done well sprinting at mountaintop finishes but he's probably targeting Valverde at this point. F |

Purito has been amazing, but in the end Saxobank Tinkoff have blown him away. I think it's a sad reflection of the state of the "sport", even though as a Brit (not normally nationalistic in any way) I loved Sky Procycling's dominance of the TdF... -- Chris 'Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.'

Yeah Valverde still looks super strong, if today's stage had been a couple of kliks longer he would probably have caught and passed Contador. It'll be interesting to see is whether Valverde and Movistar will 'wait' if Contador has a mechanical of some kind in the remaining stages. -- |

I think it's a sad reflection of the state of the "sport", even though as a Brit (not normally nationalistic in any way) I loved Sky Procycling's dominance of the TdF... Sky's dominance was impressive but I have to admit that the way they ground the peloton down didn't always make for interesting racing (from a non-Brit POV anyway ). The thing about Saxo is they have got the yellow maillot by a mixture of racing skill as well as strength and it's been absolutely riveting to watch. Contador's repeated attacks have been superb but Purito deserves the highest credit of all the riders I think as a lot of the time he's been on his own. -- |
