Why am I seeing so many climbs that will not be featured tomorrow? why don't we stick with what we have tomorrow.
Thanks.

Does anybody have the profile for the full Haza Llana (including the part they aren't riding tomorrow)? I couldn't find it anywhere.
Whoops...didn't click the link!Descender said:

That's what I get for attempting to think while bedridden with a chest infection...

Get well soon, fam, looking forward to the next Consolidated Team Depth Rankings update.
Hoping Basso can continue his renaissance tomorrow. Think Henao will do something.
interesting stage, nibali will need show what hes got no sitting about. Might well see Moreno found out on a day like this too unless hes now lost his bad day nerves.
This stage looks like the best one for Movistar so far.
A stage ending with two hard climbs is great opportunity for them to do some damage.
Anyway, this stage will definitely tell who can win the overall and who can't.

Descender said:Alright so if they felt in the mood, they could prepare this nice little stage for the riders to enjoy. Of course, they can always finish downhill in Granada after the second-to-last climb.

Zomegnan just called, he approves if you make the first 100km harder
Great design obviously.
Note, i saw a sign with alguacil (or whatever the name is) on the profile of the penultimate climb, is that false flat part on both climbs the exact same thing?

Bad day nerves? Are u sure he wasnt just following domestique orders in the past?
Basso takes this by 25 seconds. A little warm up before he drops the hammer on angrilu and eats everyones lunch
Descender said:El Purche and Monachil are two names for the same climb.
The older posters will remember it for this stage, where Vino stole the Vuelta 06 from Valverde (mainly on the descent).
Profile is stupid. There were only 20km from the top until the finish line.
Glorious day

The first half of the descent goes through the main road from Granada to Sierra Nevada. That's a 3-lines' road about 12m wide with no difficulties. The second half goes through a secondary road. It's never narrower than 6m by the look of it on Google Street View but there are quite a few technical curves with little or no visibility.

You'll still get an eastern team destroying valverde tomorrow. Just instead of vino kash it will be m and m.

Valverde rode too much time at the front during the climb that day and was spent before getting to the summit. Tomorrow he'll be in wheelsvcking mode just to realise that the 2m wide road of the final climb won't allow him overtake anyone in front of him.
Anyone but Valverde tomorrow. AV is my least favorite cyclist.
I'd love to see a Roche victory tomorrow, but unlikely. A Spaniard takes it, I think. Hopefully not one from Katusha or Valverde.

De Clercq hasn't been getting a lot of attention, but he seems in his best shape ever. I think he'll be close.
i am going to go with Anton/Konig/Basso/2 ivans. i mean any one fighting to enter top-6 final GC. I was surprised at gilbert's performance yest.
Movistar and Radioshack will do the expected tactical mistake of riding too hard in the beginning, and being left with too little resources at the end.
Henao to break top-20 gc after this stage
