I didn't think he was going to start for that fact, try to recover for a shot at winning the Vuelta. Contador seems adamant to racing despite the potential lengthy recovery. It could end up being a mini TDF France battle among all these guys, between their personal drive and need to put on a show for sponsors it could be a good watch.
I don't think I have ever seen the Vuelta televised here. Maybe with all those riders possibly doing it, that will change.I didn't think he was going to start for that fact, try to recover for a shot at winning the Vuelta.

They have covered Vuelta in the past on TV, but it's always been sporadic by Universal or streaming only. They are supposed to cover it and Tour of Britian. http://universalsports.com/2014/02/04/2014-cycling-schedule/ Not sure if they are owned by NBCsports group or not because they list covering the race as well.I don't think I have ever seen the Vuelta televised here.

After watching last night's stage, Its Nibali's tour to lose. I was hoping to see him and Richie Porte battle in the mountains. Tejay is still hanging in there and moving on up. Hopefully he won't crack on the big climbs today, and can maybe move into the top 3. Valverde looks strong on the climb yesterday.
Good memory, I'm sure Phil will mention it if so. I'm looking forward to this as well, the weekend had some good racing. Disappointed to see Bauer play around so much in final K's on Sunday after working so hard all day just to lose in the last few meters.Thanks for that link to the coverage.
If I remember correctly I think the HC climb towards the end of the stage today is the one where Andy Schleck lost his chain and Contador attacked and the amount of time he gained was the amount he "won" the tour by. I'm looking forward to watching it tonight.
Yea I think if Bauer wouldn't have looked over his should too many times and started playing games then he would have made it.Good memory, I'm sure Phil will mention it if so.

No I missed that, I'll have to see if I can catch it somewhere, I remember watching that coverage on Wide World of Sport on ABC.Yea I think if Bauer wouldn't have looked over his should too many times and started playing games then he would have made it.
I guess the hopes of an American on the podium this year, are getting pretty slim. I didn't expect Tejay to crack like he did.
Did you happen to watch the ESPN 30 for 30 - Slaying the Badger? It was about LeMond and Hinault at the 86 Tour. It was pretty good. I watched it last night then flipped over and saw the last hour or so of the stage.
Maybe Tejay will be feeling better today and can attack on the last climb or maybe before since I think there are 4 climbs today. It should be a good stage.
