For the record, the only steep sections are three very short stretches between 7.2 and 5.2 km to go

Still more than 10k to go...

 

[Rollthedice]

Sunday ride in beautiful scenery and weather.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nice tour ride on strava

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Are the commentators thinking that anyone called J Rodriguez must be a great climber?

 

[murali]

peloton is slowly catching up with chasers.

Unless an earthquake reshapes the rest of the climb in the next few minutes, the distance is irrelevant

 

[ILovecycling]

¨Chasing group is not riding at all

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Steep part coming up

 

[luckyboy]

They are being outdone by the best climbers in that group. What do you expect? Van den Sande and Berard climbing faster than Weening? Or what? Duque? lol

Aren't they coming up to a pretty steep part, over 10% for a couple of k? I think they are.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Will we see a Rafa attack?

They're on it, and it's three short steep parts in the middle of two flattish kms

 

[trevim]

Will we see a Rafa attack?

He has a tendency to attack in bad places so I'm definitely counting on it.

 

[Red Rick]

Will we see a Rafa attack?

In Rome maybe

 

[Afrank]

crash.
