2015 Vuelta stage 10: Valencia > Castellón 146.6km

[Orbit501]

We could have another nice little stage on our hands here, like Friday. Groups all over the road with lots of attacks near the end.

At the moment all attempts are to form a more viable breakaway from the original 40 strong group which has broken up.

Henao already back in the peloton.

Edit: 14 leaders. I saw Trek and Giant chasing.

Uff , i am off to date.. I see now things have change a lot...It what happends with so big break...

Re:

All other 24 are, no? Only the 6 counter attackers from the break are left.

at the moment

(no need for Sky to chase then)

Good break, we will see a good figth in Desierto de las Palmas. Too very good people. I d love too see Verona wining, but very difficul, stiill my favourite is Luis León.

LLS has already been dropped from the break. Verona and Zoidl were reeled in too by the break and Zoidl went out the back.

So they start a stage in Valencia but don't finish one there?

 

[Flamin]

Everyone caught!

 

[TommyGun]

no breakaway with 55 km to go... interesting!

 

[BigMac]

14 riders countering.

Doesn't make any sense at all. They should've finished in Valencia today so they could do the transfer by plane. Now it will 400 kms by car/bus.

What race are you watching?

Yep, a repeat of Friday looks likely

Nothing against him, but ideally Degenkolb is dropped before the finale as otherwise there's only likely to be one winner.

 

[Flamin]

Roche crashes. 2nd day in a row.

Stupid ticker.

Man, I really jinxed it the other day by saying the Irish guys were going well.

Unless Unipublic ponies up to charter fly the whole Vuelta caravan to La Seu d'Urgell, they'll be having to fly to Barcelona, Girona or Toulouse (no commercial flights to La Seu d'Urgell at time of writing), then drive the rest of the way, so that could be why.

You must be joking. Castellon is 65 kms from Valencia. Andorra's closest airport is around 200 kms away.

Terpstra going solo from nearly 50 km out. I know he was a contender for this stage, but good luck with that one!

 

[Flamin]

Terpstra solo group of 5 chasing him.

Okay, thought Girona was much closer to Andorra

Movistar is driving now. Rojas has good memories of Castellón so..

Was it his best 4th place?

 

[Sasquatch]

Have a feeling that Impey will take this. OGE are riding.

 

[Orbit501]

Anyone know what's going on with Danny van Poppel?

Yet to contest a sprint but went in the break yesterday. All a bit odd.

Assume he's no chance of making it over and into any select bunch sprint today?

Real shame there's so little competition left for Degenkolb in this race now.
