[jobiwan]

For goodness' sake, tracker guy. GOBERNACION is on the front, NOT PURE BLACK.
READ THE BIB NUMBERS. OR LOOK AT THE JERSEYS.

Pure Black:

Gobernacion:

how much km from the top of the climb to the finish line?

About 40k.

 

[Mellow Velo]

This last 1km is tough.

I was going to say the same.
Anybody know what the stats are for this climb?

Meanwhile, the men in black continue to inject pace into the peloton.

Rubens takes the gpm,

Rubens takes the gpm,

Averages 9.3%.

Last 1k is about 10-12%.

Field is splitting now.

The Live tracker guy is freaking confusing me. He said when they went on the descent, that 3 Gobernacion guys are still between the break and the bunch. And yet somehow a guy from the bunch got the 5th in the KOM?

what an awful job is doing the camera man with those close-ups of the asphalt

I think the GPS feedback is screwing with everything

That's not true, they never were on the attack. Just leading the peloton. But mr. tracker guy thought they were Pure Black riders, so he assumed the Gobernacion guys were somewhere up the road.

Danny Pate, finally a decent rider going (these break guys look awful on the climbs). Pate should catch up in notime.

 

[Mellow Velo]

While the tracker now looks sort of right, they appear to have covered the last 20 miles in 15 minutes.

Well, it is decent-ish, but still freaking messed up.

Pate and I´m not Ted King mixing it up

Danny Pate will be happy to read this. However, I'm afraid he's trying to get away because he knows that once they hit the climb for the final time, he'll be dropped like a stone by the Gobernacions.

According to the tracker the Gobernacions is probably 10 minutes ahead of everyone else by then.

 

[Mellow Velo]

They are taking the break back far too early.

 

[Michele]

Looks like they are trying to make the race harder than caring about the escape (althought with this kind of route it's not like you can do much).

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

They are taking the break back far too early.

Yep. Not sure why. I would think there may be some fireworks on the last pass up the climb.

agreed... I am expecting an attack on the climb.
