[Vino attacks everyone]

Lutsenko to do a top 5 if he goes all in

 

[Netserk]

Quintana to lose 1'00'' - 2'00'' to Contador.

 

[icefire]

Betancur to do fastest split time from summit to finish

Betancur to do fastest split time from summit to finish

Interesting profile for this one. It should be well nigh impossible to beat Martin on a course like this.

 

[Coat-O]

First 20k. The false flat before climb has some hard sections.

 

[Arredondo]

Something like this

Contador
Froome + 15 sec
Valverde + 50 sec
Quintana + 1.30 m
Purito + 1.45 m

 

[Afrank]

Betancur to do fastest split time from summit to finish

Faster then Tony? No way, he would have to weigh at least...hold on a sec...*goes and checks current picture of Betancur*...Never mind.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Something like this

Contador
Froome + 15 sec
Valverde + 50 sec
Quintana + 1.30 m
Purito + 1.45 m

Where do I sign?

 

[BigMac]

After this stage, GC will look similar to this:

1. Alberto Contador
2. Alejandro Valverde
3. Christopher Froome
4. Nairo Quintana
5. Rigoberto Urán
6. Robert Gesink
7. Purito Rodriguéz
8. Winner Anacona
9. Fabio Aru
10. Warren Barguil

No way Gesink is passing Purito in GC. The TT is quite hard, and Gesink will lose quite a lot of time in the first part (based on his climbing abilities during a TT).

Do you fancy an avatar bet?

The climb is nothing extraordinary, really. The majority of the climb has gradients under 5%, and only ramps up significantly for two or so kilometers. Purito will be ahead there, but don't you think that Gesink has an advantage over Purito in the remaining 25,5km's?

I bet i will

Purito will also distance Gesink on the (technical part of the) descent.

 

[cineteq]

Froome
Uran +27
Quintana +39
Contador +45
Gesink +47
Valverde +1.14
Rodriguez +1.45

Based on the previous post of Coat-O, the first 20 km are uphill and downhill. Giving the descender qualities of Purito, i doubt he will lose time there on Gesink (rather winning).

So then there are 18 km left for Gesink to make up 49 seconds. Rather difficult to make up for Gesink imo.

 

[Rollthedice]

Something like this

Contador
Froome + 15 sec
Valverde + 50 sec
Quintana + 1.30 m
Purito + 1.45 m

Seems about the right order plus Uran between Froome and Valverde. As for the time gaps I'd say 40 sec Valverde, 1 min Nairito. Obviously Tony wins.

 

[cineteq]

I bet i will

Ok done. I will give you a Froome avatar for the rest of the race. Deal?

 

[pablohidalgo7]

Tony martin take the stage, contador the red jersey, wilco kelderman top 10 in the stage and in the general, uran also to have a top 5 spot in the general after the the stage.

 

[Arredondo]

No problem.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Froome will take this and gets Red.
Movistar and Tinkoff will eventually be happy somebody else will spend resources controlling the race for a few days afterwards.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Martin ftw

Froome @ 30"
Alberto @ 45"
Valverde @ 1'
Quintana @ 1'10"
Rodriguez @ 2'10"
