From the ticker.

Paolini: "I think Cobo is the hot favorite today. He and his team have prepared this race very well."

Adam Yates. Simon just crashed out of the race.
Hopefully other youngsters will shine: Kudus, Parra, Manfredi. And Rebellin of course

Broken collarbone. Too bad.

Just starting up with live coverage, here:

Unfortunately, I do not know how to bring up Ant McCrossnan's English commentary,
which I have on tv.


Slogging up the first climb with 93kms to go.
Break at 6 and a half.

TUR ‏@tourofturkey 3m

The chase at the front of the peloton is led by @TeamTorkuSeker riders. Juan Jose Cobo has obviously strong ambitions.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

MTN - Qhubeka has taken over. Go Kudus.

 

[jsem94]

Lol. Cobo better win this, anything else would be embarrasing.

Would be embarrasing to see Torku winner once again.

 

[jsem94]

That is also true. Unfortunately. Had they not been the flagship Turkish team, they wouldn't have gotten reinvited to the race.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Peloton depleted, but it will swell before the last climb.

Still we will not have many left in the group half way up the last climb methinks.

 

[jens_attacks]

vamos juanjoooooooooooo!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Greipel getting some training miles, still in peloton.

[greenedge]

What type of rider is Breen?

 

[manafana]

right simon yates is out with a crash, collerbone as always with those really slight lads, was it him that felt he had best chance or adam always confuse them

 

[Arredondo]

Everyone is talking about Kudus, but i'm counting on Parra. Caja-Rural is already protecting him well at the front.

Wasn't he taking a turn at the front ? I wish him all the best but i dobut they will ride for him.

 

[vladimir]

What type of rider is Breen?

He is decent on short hills, but he has never been or will never be a climber.

 

[the sceptic]

Lulu should be able to do something here

No, he was in 5th position of the Caja train.

From what i saw during the broadcast.

Simon was the big favorite for this stage indeed. He was already really strong in Pais Vasco.

 

[Arredondo]

So Parra and Rebellin among the victims

 

[the sceptic]

If Torku doesnt go full gas, its hard to see who is going to win this

 

[Hugo87]

Adam Yates to top-5 today, with this kind of field, if he's near top form could it be.

Taaramäe is almost invisible this season, he has a chance here to show something.

 

[Wallenquist]

Watch out for Durasek
