Vuelta Outright Market

climbs to come wont suit purito as much but yes i agree think purito should be evens or shorter at this point. he can stay on the wheel and nick victories. contador doesnt look like having the strength for a big epo acceleration like the old days.

You guys are watching a different race from the one I'm watching. And you are ignoring all the evidence in front of your very eyes. I've tried to advise you. Throw your money away

yr totally nuts clay. the evidence in front of our eyes is that purito has been the best climber so far and has never looked in the slightest difficulty at any stage. what race have u been watching??!

Contador is getting better and better as the race unfolds and the rest of the Tour will suit him down to the ground. Rodriguez always likely to throw in a shocker somewhere along the line - Contador won't.
Contador doesn't even seem concerned about Rodriguez. He is only worried about Froome

'not concerned' - dont be ridiculous

Evidence Denis, Evidence. The other day when Contador attacked and Rodriguez went with him he kept looking round all the time. Not interested in winning the stage or trying to shake Rodriguez. But seeing if he was putting time into Froome. In his interviews with Spanish media he bangs on about Froome all the time. He rides close to Froome.
That may change but he doesn't seem concerned by Rodriguez

I've no money in the GC market, but if AC is still concerned of Froome it seems to be wrong judgement, he hasn't been able to save his form of the TdF. Agree that value looks to be in Purito, would suggest that chances are rather equal for both to win.

clay u are hilarious. u really think contador could've gone with rodriguez??!!

Just watched the highlights from yesterday... Rodriguez again showed he is the stronger climber..

Price has gone from 2/1 to a shade under evens... Although I'm a cycling novice having been watching the grand tours for about 3 years now, I can only see one winner here..

only the blind and Claydavis cant see that Purito is streets ahead of the rest and will win this Vuelta barring disaster

Contodor wins this. End of thread

Rodriguez marking him out of the VUelta.
That said brilliant to watch Contador .
HTFook he does it I dont know.
Looks like a training session of  max hill sprint  fartlek intervals

Contador just getting better and better

still confident LayDavis? sell your car and get on the 9/4. (im sure you drive and dont ride yourself)

if they awarded prizes for self-delusion claydavis would have a mantlepiece full.

4-6 is still some price on purito, he will not crack in the mountains, crash is the only risk (that and a failed dope test )

yeah should be 1.1 really

tripe

go to bed

Wow, what a stage, incredible stuff. Rodriguez looks home and hosed now.

Even ClayDavis would have to agree?

no

Rodriguez playing with him for fun.

Can't believe i was starting to doubt the great man.

CONTADOR THE WARRIOR  WILL STILL WIN THE VULETA

No where in that article does he state he WILL win, to be fair. He is backing himself to be sure, but in top-class athletes this is the kind of talk you would expect, and on paper he still has at least one good opportunity to attack Purito. He has been a real fighter in this race and his fights with Purito have made what is a truly enjoyable stage race. Having layed him from the outset, I'm not entirely confident I won't need any insurance because he will do as he states, I would think.

Cheers,
SP

Stage 20 and it's lights out for Purito

wearing shades makes u look even more of a d1ck

Cheer up Denis, your man will be second. Not bad for you

Look on the bright side dennis second to Contador is nothing to be ashamed of.

Purito even expects to lose himself   the great contador will never be defeated

only Clay could be smug about tipping an 'unbeatable' 1/2 shot who's now trading at 5/1+

well well well

LIGHTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE BYE PURITO

well done clay hope you are counting your cash already like i am, and i hope you sir denis are crying into your Rodriguez quilt

ALL HAIL THE KING CONTADOR

Calling Sir Denis

he's not only managed to get Purito beat but he's also lost him 2nd place also

MUG of epic proportions

just got home and checked
the market. what happened?

There was a large break with a few Saxo riders. Contador attacked on a Cat 2 climb, dropped everyone and got across to the break. His team and then Tiralongo drove the break on while Rodriguez was isolated behind, soon 2 mins down and not on his best day. Only Valverde of the other GC riders was with Rodriguez (and not helping) - everyone else was even further back. Valverde eventually attacked Rodriguez and with the help of his own teammates almost caught Contador who was on his own for most of the final climb
