Status quo. Fourth, fifth or sixth, thats the question now. Fingers crossed.

Valverde has nearly won the Vuelta....Won't crack open the champagne until we pass the finishing line on the final stage. I'm praying the race doesn't have one final cruel twist of fate. |

So, Rujano could end up anywhere between 3rd and 6th after the TT. Not bad, not bad at all, specially after that awful Giro.

Almost there from Valverde. Things have worked out almost too perfect for him. |

if you take away 2 minutes 50 seconds from tenorio's time he slots in at the top 5. Personally, I think this would be the appropriate action, no one deserves to lose nearly 3 minutes on the second stage

Take away 5 minutes (or whatever it was) from Intxausti's time ....
So yes, I agree with this appropriate action motion

Stage 4 he lost 1 minute. Unless Freire, Haussler, Roelandts, and Guerao are your rivals. I dont think they are

Yeh, Valverde got rather lucky here. Intxausti and Contador crash out of the way, and Schleck never really turned up.

Well , gianni was the leader i think in the game's perception being in top 5 early and i think andy protected him...and thats why he was weaker then expected just a thought , but untill the last stage were he attacked nice he was just a shadow

And the minute Abal lost to Valverde on stage 4 would have put him second, of course, Schleck and Plaza also lost time there but we can ignore that  anyway last stage being uploaded now

16th and 17th. A horrible Vuelta that costed me my most secure goal of the season. My season can go from wonderful to horrible in just that one race, if I also drop out of the top 5 PT, which I'm likely to do seeing that Domina, Auber, Pearl and Lipton all outperformed me...

Oh well, have to settle with 6th, still a great result. A decent amount of points.

Great Vuelta for us Plaza 4th and 2 stage wins.
Too bad he was just 7 seconds away from the podium but at least we were on the podium in Madrid thanks to the teams classification.

Was very entertaining to read, great reports.
Rly bad luck for some managers, but i think several other managers can be happy though (Santander, Cafe, Jack Wolfskin).

Yeah, my Pro Tour Season has been a massive success 7 stage wins between Cali and here, a top 5 in the Vuelta. and with madrazo, Tenorio and Guerao maxxing next year it's looking good.
Now to get promoted.
