Contador announcing he'll ride the Vuelta! Amazing recovery, what a beast!

Insane crash, look at Stybar on the right:

Hopefully can ride into some form for the last week or so.

720, pike position. Messed up the landing.

Do we normally do a thread for the vuelta?

 

[monty1104]

Yep. That starts this week right? I've lost track

 

[Skippos]

like 4 days i think?

 

[monty1104]

Sounds right. Happy for someone to do a thread, or I'll do one with a preview by later tonight. Won't be doing stage previews though as I won't be watching every night, I'll likely just be watching the highlights on sbs

Interesting to see that Gerrans and Valverde are the only multiple WT race winners this season (not including national titles). Love how this sport is so unpredictable.

 

[alfy!]

Great win by Gerrans overnight:

 

[flamethrower]

Absolutely. Simon has had a great season, and tops off a big day for the Aussies with Adam Hansen winning a stage in the Vuelta too.

 

[alfy!]

Gerrans with the Canadian double, in an absolutely flawless leadout train from OGE. You won't see one better than this:

 

[chargers 09]

Gerrans has been magnificent this season, has won a lot of races in his career now. Definite chance for the WC.

I know it is not cycling but world champs in canada for itu tri and IM 70.3 were great
Sunny coast on weekend produced a great finish and tragic death
Kona is coming

 

[alfy!]

Did anyone watch the Jens Voight 1 hour record attempt? Pretty entertaining and will hopefully kick start the modern era of attempts at this record.

 

[alfy!]

World Champs starts tonight too, with the TTT. This is for trade teams, not countries.

Orica claim silver.

 

[alfy!]

Orica claim silver.

A solid ride from a solid outfit. BMC were the shock, didn't expect them to win it easily.

 

[ben_1301]

Mens TT tonight, You'd think Martin is a firm fav, hopefully Wiggins can push him and Dennis have a good ride!
The RR should be a cracker! Honestly so open this race, Aus have some great options!

How about what was written in his bike
I am jens mother ?$&@ing Voight

 

[alfy!]

Caleb Ewan second in the U23 road race last night. A good future for Australia.

 

[ben_1301]

Arghhhh, so close!

 

[Oaktree]

Great ride by Kwiatkowski!

 

[grouse mate]

Deserving winner. Backed himself and made the winning move.

 

[chargers 09]

Well done by Gerrans... Dennis any chance of beating Tony Martin?

 

[ben_1301]

Good aggressive racing by Kwiatowski, the moment no one would roll through to help Gilbert you knew he was home! I guess the wheel suckers got what they deserved!!
