Vuelta stage 14 **spoiler**
Cumulonimbus
Posts: 1,730
After the sprinters have had their time in the last two stages, today sees the return of the climbs with a particularly nasty climb to the finish
http://www.lavuelta.com/10/es/recorrido/index.html?e=14
There were a lot of attacks early on which ended up with Terpstra out front by himself. As the peloton quietened down, Millar and Zabriskie (both Garmin) leapt off the front and chased him down. After going over the 3rd cat climb, the trio have over 11 minutes advantage. Could Millar make it three in a row for the UK (or UK plus the isle of man)?
EDIT: Over 12 minutes now...

Looks like the peleton is going to let these 3 guys battle it out as none of them is a threat for the GC.
Would be good to see Millar get this one.0 -
Yeah, looks like Anton isnt that keen on the time bonuses being available for the main contenders.0
-
+1 for a Millar win 12:12 is a healthy gap, but only 3 in the group will be tough to make it stick0
-
Apparently Cavendish got a warning from the commissaires for the bunnyhop across the line yesterday. Dangerous riding.0

Break has dropped to 8 minutes with 54 KM to go.0
-
Zabriskie's last stage win in the Vuelta is still one of the most impressive things I've seen in pro cycling. 2004 I think it was. He was better back then.0

Big grupettos forming already. CdE putting the hurt on.0
-
Time gap dropping FAST.
Arroyo goes off the front0 -

Guessing Millar or Zabriskie will need what, 2 minutes at the foot of the climb? Only 6km long, but steep.0
-
Dave Z goes pop, big style. Just Millar and Terpstra now.0
-
Gap down to 3:28 with 14 km to go. Big climb coming shortly.0
-
Terpstra is suffering. Millar looks alright, but he needs more of a gap. Ain't gonna happen.0
-
Millar will do his usual trick of getting caught in the final KM....0
-
Anton in a massive crash!!!0
-
Huge crash. Bleeding carrots everywhere. Anton FFS. Boy's got no luck.0
-
That his Vuelta over then.0
-
Not getting back on his bike at the moment0
-
Anton still not on a bike. Possibly out of the race?0
-
and another on the deck still - looks in a bad way - 5 o6 still wobbling on the grass verge0
-
Getting into team car. Looks over for Anton0
-
Bloody hell. That's so unlucky.0
-
Completely gutted for him.0
