I'm listening to EuroSport. Sean Kelly and whatshisname stopped talking about it within a minute or so.
Sucked for Ryder, though.....he was working his assos off. |

The good thing is that this Vuelta hasn't so far been a crash fest like the Tour was. Yes, the rain and oil slick roads were a major part of the Tour crashes, but here we are seeing very hot oil slicked roads. A few have crashed, but it looks to me like everyone is riding more carefully.
A related aside: How is it that Froome crashes so infrequently given how little time he spends looking up? Is the computer on his stem giving him some info on what's ahead that we are not privy too?

The only possible explanation is it's not a computer, it's a Cerevellum Hindsight with the camera facing forward to give him a look upfield
They guys' got stem fixation, 'fer sure |

| Brambilla with a great top 10 finish today. Clawing his way back top the top of the GC. Nice job Brambi! |

“I am not a big fan of moves like that. We had just gone through a small village, with cobbles, and then a big descent, so the entire peloton is single-file, and then they drill it,” Hesjedal said. “Someone loses the wheel, and you’re caught out.
Yeah, that is called "bike racing", Ryder. You were poorly positioned and got caught out. Suck it up, buttercup. |

The hell? You mean they aren't using the 'no drop' format to this ride?
Man, that's pretty harsh. Nobody's gonna like that

| Quintana just went down HARD in the TT. Clipped the guardrail and tumbled head over heels. He is gonna lose a lot of time. |

Disappointing. Tough blow for Quintana. Good thing is that he is young. He will have many more chances and he is smart enough to learn from this. I really wanted to see a tight race between him, AC and Froome. Oh well. Good time trial by Valverde. I hope he keeps riding well.
My main man, AC? He lived up to his rest day talk today of riding this to win. Lets see how he does in the high stuff.
I just saw on the Velonews website that Quintana reached down to adjust his shoe shortly before entering a decreasing radius corner. I'll bet anyone a doughnut or three that he spends the rest of his career starting TTs with his shoes and clothes just perfect

| Quintana is really lucky he didn't tumble over that guard rail. Wouldn't want to have seen the results of that. |
