Bud the Baker Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 See Quintana took the lead yesterday before the first rest day. Dumoulin will be looking to take the lead in the ITT tomorrow, the rest of Week 2 is relatively easy with the bulk of the climbing saved for the third week.

saintnextlifetime Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 It would be good to see Yates or Thomas make a bit of an impact too , particularly in the big mountains. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing performance considering he also dislocated a shoulder or clavicle. Hard as nails, must be the cakes from Herbie's cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thomas struggling today after yesterdays exertion. Prob also starting to hurt a bit more esp the ligaments around the dislocated area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Evergreen Adam Hansen is currently 89th in the GC and over halfway to finishing his 17th Grand Tour in a row! I will shed a tear when he finally hangs up the Lycra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Dumoulin wins Stage 14 on a climb - finished 14 secs ahead of Quintana (4th) which with the time bonus added up to 24 secs. Quintana the only rider within 3 mins of Dumoulin. The last week looks very difficult but Dumoulin looks better equipped to survive in the mountains than the 2015 Vuelta.

Lord Pityme Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 How do these professional cyclists manage to go so fast? If i was hauling that amount of drugs i'd never be able to keep up with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 In the circumstances it was a great ride by Dumoulin yesterday I guess the question is how much he's taken out of himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Indeed, hopefully Dumoulin can retain his lead to the finish , that would now be a victory on more than one count. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
