Stage 19 La Vuelta

So a shorter one today, after calling a truce yesterday, Cobo and Froome will be hard at it today again with another sprint just 20km in, Froome will be looking to get it if there is no break, To me, Sky have the power to keep a break from getting away, so why not use it to get a time bonus, either that or send one of the not so great sky riders into the back of Cobo's wheel, send him tumbling and then drill it so he's no chance to get back on :evil: http://skysports.html.infostradasports.com/asp/lib/event/tour/index.asp?Page=LIVE&TaalCode=2&SportID=102&CompetitionID=20695&SeasonID=480&GenderID=1&EventPhaseID=564833&PhaseID=651707&PersonID=0&StyleID=0&LayoutCode=1073741843&Cache=4&Framesize=2&HeaderFramesize=70 If Froome cant improve today, then with the two cat 1's tomorrow he's going to have to thump it up them and hope someone burst's Cobo's tyre So who's your main man today? I've got 2 in my team, but 1 most likely wont be allowed to get into a break, not that a break will hold onto the end :?

There is no way the pack are
There is no way the pack are going to close down for the sprint, no points for them at all today, break will sweep them all up apart from maybe the second time they climb the cat 2

57km and peloton closing to 4
57km and peloton closing to 4 mins 59 secs with the first of the 2nd cat climbs coming up. There’s a sprint point after the 2nd cat so the GC teams might be lining up their teams for bonus secs.

There’s only 14kms to the end
There’s only 14kms to the end after the 2nd cat, perhaps Froome might get Wiggins to try and blast it up the 2nd cat and time trial it home, dont think Cobo could live with that, but then again he has lived with everything else.

put in Verdugo as well.
put in Verdugo as well. Thought about Anton but wasn’t sure he’s be that many places above Wiggins even if he did win. Beginning to change my mind now, but we’ll see.

On another note anyone tried the game Zweelers. You pay for a team, €1 for this stage, get 15 riders from various groups and play for prizes, €50 for top of stage. Got Anton for that but took out Verdugo this morning for Montaguti and left in Txurruka instead. Damn!!

If Montaguti goes, Moncoutie will go with, so i think he’s knackered now, If Anton is on form, he’ll be away aswell

Mollema and Rabo wont be letting ANY breaks get away until after 20km cause thats where the first sprint is

That was lastnight, Got the Mollema and Rabo spot on and Anton in the break :&
