I'd love to see a MSR-like stage in a grand tour, wont happen at all thoughLibertine Seguros said:Poggio after 160km is nothing, and we have a bunch sprint 10 times out of 10.
Poggio after 290km is an obstacle which can cause the race to break apart. Sometimes it doesn't, but it is a challenge.
Óscar Freire after 150km doesn't have the speed and hasn't for years. Óscar Freire after 250km is a threat, even today.
does it mean Contador , valverde and froome will battle for the seconds available in the intermediate sprint?DJ Sprtsch said:Today's action has started. Only one rider wants to race, Chacon from Andalucia, he has 1:37 advantage after 4km.
I hope soDedelou said:does it mean Contador , valverde and froome will battle for the seconds available in the intermediate sprint?
As you say, that would be a challenge of course. I mean 240km stages that may have some 4th or 3rd category climbs far from the finish and are usually taken either by sprinters or by some random break.Libertine Seguros said:Poggio after 160km is nothing, and we have a bunch sprint 10 times out of 10.

Froome could try something, he's only 1" back. It is too flat for Alberto, Purito + Mollema could go for it as well.Dedelou said:does it mean Contador , valverde and froome will battle for the seconds available in the intermediate sprint?
I doubt he can finish the rest of the course alonewirral said:Or like in the Worlds, all lapped riders are immediately kicked out of the race.
Andalucia take it to Madrid in a one-man show. Now that would be good.
