Uran will fly like an angel on the last two kilometres and distance Contador by a minute.

There's only one angel in this field and that's Aru. And he'd never do that to Contador even if he could :)

Everyone may well joke, but I have this nagging feeling that Uran is indeed going to do something special today. This nagging feeling tells me he's going to win the stage and take up to 30 seconds in time back.

I've tried endless research to see where this nagging feeling might have come from, and can't find anything much in the way of solid evidence to base it on. Hasn't stopped the nagging feeling going away though. We'll see if I've been deluded or not.

If Valverde felt strong today, Movistar would have closed the gap. Contador should attack today

I don't think Valverde will be a contender in the third week. With Quintana out, Froome is really the only guy who can upset Contador. Contador will likely just play cops & robbers on this stage, keeping the others locked up.

...Unless he has good legs, then he'll do what he always does whenever he feels like he can attack. :cool:
