It makes quintana look worried. Claiming it's taken the spectical out of racing, oh please.

Indeed, they all ride to it nowadays.mthimk today's finish will also take a big chunk out of the happiness he had on Monday evening. For a short climb where froome generally isn't at his strongest and easily had enough to overpower Quintana.
 
Agreed, he wouldn't say it if he weren't scared of being beaten by Froome. I don't think you can put the genie back in the bottle. I've got a power meter, for goodness' sake, they're hardly rare things. Quintana can have one if he wants... He may as well ask for a ban on clipless pedals.

Be funny if froome took his Garminoff his stem on a climb near the end and chucked it in his back pocket to prove s point. And yes the pros are mental. G riding with broken pelvis for 3 weeks. Froome with his broken foot last year finishing a minute down.lopez this vuelta with an exposed nerve. Loons the lot of them,
 
Great finish today. Gutted for Chaves - what a move to come to nothing! Good work by Froome to hold off Quintana, even if it only ends up being worth the time bonus. Contador still up in the mix, he's hard as nails as well.

Heh, Froome in his post race interview saying they should go back to single speed bikes as well :D

I wonder what Movistar's power meter supplier make of all Quintana's whinging...

A long time ago, on a parcours far away...

Merckx: Use the feel, Chris. Let go, Chris.
Quintana: The feel is strong with this one!
Merckx: Chris, trust me.
Brailsford: His meter's off. Chris, you switched off your power meter. What's wrong?
Froome: Nothing, I'm alright.
 
Shut down day! Tomorrow will hopefully be a belter! Live coverage starts on Eurosport from 11 so they're obviously expecting a lot to show the whole stage!

This needs quoting for awesomeness :)
 
Incredible stage that One. What a rise by Yates and to some extent chaves and konig sneaking off the front. Contador just doesn't look like he has it this year. But suspect he'll try something today.

Quintana probably quite disheartened after sky worked so hard yesterday and froome managed contain him with relative ease. Suspect sky will of got a rollicking for missing that break yesterday, and won't be making the same,we mistake again. Short one today,if the spice things up.
