Today's stage will get what it deserves. Has there ever been a stage that included four major climbs designed so badly ?

I believe that Fuglsang is the reason for Sky chasing so hard.They like to payback everything.

If Astana have another shocker today, I think Vino himself may put an Astana kit on in the final week and compete

hadn't seen this profile yet, but that makes a mockery of the super short alpine stages in this TdF. 138 km and 6 climbs!

Yes, together with the Vuelta organization. They wanted a hard mountain stage in Andorra and they asked Purito, who lives there for many years now, which climbs and route they could use.
This stage has exactly the same route as a 'La Purito', a one-day tour for bikeriders (children, adults) which Purito will organize at the end of this year.

The Yates could be waiting for somewhere like Mende or Gap, the punchier finishes.
Three riders down as being off the back today (Dowsett, Dempster, van Bilsen). The flat ground in between the climbs makes things extra tough if you are behind the autobus as you don't have the benefit of a large chaingang or the sprinters teams trying to limit their losses. The stage to PdB in 2011 was the one where Cav got dropped very early and barely made the time cut. I think a few guys at the back that day must have been happy that they could ride with him and have his team-mates driving on the front.

Big respect to him as he designed a beautiful stage that actually ain't no favor to his own characteristics.Arredondo said:Sasquatch said:Arredondo said:Sasquatch said:If only the stage was like this.

The guy is a true cycling lover. I bet he would like to be Contador or Quintana in terms of being a rider
