Vuelta 2014, **el sp-olé-rs**

Aru looks bloody good doesn't he.

A certain wise monkey of this parish has been bigging him up as The Real Deal for a while now. You'd have to agree based on his performances this year.

 

[Crackle]

I wish he didn't ride for evil Astana though

Interestingly though.

This graphic is a break down of the fastest I'm that section of the tt. So fatty betancur went downhill fast....

Also supports froomes going out too fast theory.

I am pretty sure this was an estimation, which part would suit which rider best (I believe it was around before the actual TT)

Contador knows it'll take a massive effort to overhaul a 100% Froome in the tour next year which is the one they both want.

Just remember Contador might/is probably also not at his best currently

S'alright, give him a steak and he'll be fine....

I believe implicitly everything you say since you got that new job Smutch!
(Apart from Orval being that good, of course!)

Interestingly the taste of Orval depends on how long it has been bottled.
So maybe you like a 1 year old Orval better than a 3 month old (or visa versa)
Then again, you can also just try a "La Chouffe" or "Westvleteren"

Did I ever mention that I also once wrote a book about beer?

No, tell me more

 

[smutchin]

No, tell me more

Published 2005. Sold worldwide. Translated into loads of different languages. I gave Orval a very good write up.

Doesn't mean I know any more about beer than I know about cycling though. But I'm right about Orval.

Still in print?

Isn't that a small green duck

Yeah I realise that but I think both at 100% Froome probably just edges it with his time trialing but it's very close and the face off everyone wants to see. Nibalia and Quintana fully spice things up too.

sky rider on the deck looked in serious trouble

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Maybe Cataldo? Looked all wrong.

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Jeez, heli view shows him hitting a tree.

Hope he's okay.

 

[smutchin]

Yeah, was Cataldo according to the CN ticker.

 

[smutchin]

Nice one Adam Hansen. Clever move. Who needs Cancellara, eh?
