VUELTA - Love, love, love him!!

Agreed. Valverde did great on that last TT and even so conceded a few seconds to Vino. Tomorrow will be the decisive day. Vino has also been known to lose time in the mtns., so it's pretty up in the air.

I think Vino is incredibly cute, myself. I belatedly read Lance Armstrong's War during my August hospital days with my mother--I know, about a year later than the rest of you read it, I'm sure. Found it to be an incredibly interesting, pretty well-written, smart book. And he talks a lot about Vino in the book. He's a really impressive rider.

I love the holy batman quote!

Salsa, I've read Lance Armstrong's War three times. I love that book.

Oh my Vino!

He's done it, what a victory~

Instead of playing cat & mouse or poker or merely watching his rivals, he went right at Valverde, Sastre, etc and beat them all handily. Classy gesture to letting Kash get the stage win after helping him.

Wow

YAY YAY! I was "watching", too. Amazing. What an exciting racer to watch. He just doesn't leave anything out there - he uses everything he's got every time.

He just blasted them all down the classement!
Nice the way he "gave " Kasshechkin the "win" over the line. He (K) rode well too.
Had hopes for a few moments that Iban Mayo might "do something", but it came to nothing.
What a climb! What scenery! Total moonscape and that section above the clouds and then descending back down into and through them was just brilliant to watch!
