Albasini's good as well on hills like that.

isnt there a few danger mans for peloton`? Malacarne only 2.24 down on GC?

doesn't matter, he's a QST man, they won't have to work

oh ok Cool thought he was a big engine type rider - where is he off to next year anyone know.

I don't think the big guns are worried about guys like Malacarne taking the leaders jersey

Yeah he is, but he gets really well over hills Not as explosive as Sagan though...

No idea, but he shouldn't have to much trouble finding a team, he's a really solid rider

Greenedge, if the rumours are true. Albasini is indeed a good rider for steep hills, he's usually pretty good on the Mur de Huy.

[Hugo Koblet]

Nice, my Madrazo prediction might turn out right

 

[dlwssonic]

Any chance of the break making it, if it does this is really a BMC fail

 

[PedalCastro]

Will they be allowed to stay away to the end or will the GC contenders want to contest the stage? JROD could use all the bonus seconds he can get..

1.35 is the advantage

after 82 km with 105 km to go, If they break doesn´t get more than 4-5 min soon say next 20 km it will be brought back.

 

[hatcher]

Got to imagine Quickstep will chase. Chavanel should hang on to the lead if he has any kind of form.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

I'd love Albasini to win this. A GT stage win would be a nice addition to his CV. Always quite good on Mur de Huy - this should suite him well.

Mr Bad meat is the best placed in the break.

 

[Talented]

peloton not slowing down a bit? gap is not growing at any if i see right!

Weird day!


Jose Vincente Garcia Acosta (Movistar) crashed and left vuelta after that!

Good point.
