Jungels finished 18th '3.18 back. Thats a pretty decent result. Does anyone have a profile of the final climb? :)

That really would be brilliant. Not sure how Porte copes with short sharp climbs though?

From what I can see from CQ, a mixed bag. There are some good showings (10th San Sebastián 2010, 8th to Vejle in the Danmark Rundt, the win on Malhão last year) but there are also some days where he's clearly not in the mix at all. The only time he entered País Vasco was 2011, which isn't really indicative of where he's at at the moment. This isn't going to be an easy race to control, for sure, so even if his greater strength lies in the TT, he's going to need to work hard to be able to ride the TT for the GC win.

Froomey's style is just awful. But his physical ability is astonishing if he can accelerate whenever he wants just out of spite... Like he did today after the discussion with Peraud. He's shown a new quality, as well. Today's attack differs from those we've seen so far this season.
Days of intimidation on the Mediterranean are continuing.

He did a great ride, but considering the level of his opponents and Porte marking all other attacks it wasn't a surprise he had such a gap in the end.

i wonder what did he say to peraud?

and i think we got an answer today if he could catch valverde last year on peyragudes. oh boy he really can sustain an attack

Ask Peraud to work with him, Peraud said NO. Froom said " f..k you, I am gone. I don't need you any way, just want to use you as a disguise in the first place":D
