Katusha at the front now.

Seems I'm not missing much action-wise...

At this pace we may have live images from the climb to Tenebredo

We might get to see the official start live yet.

I'd love a Schleck win here. Rolland will be tough to beat though.

I dont want no women to win stages in the Vuelta, hoping for my man Pierre!

Your nearly as bad as Tinkov!

 

[fauniera]

Dumoulin, the German. Bravo, cyclinggnews.

Rolland was awful the other day. Torres has looked better out of the break.

Meh, I just dislike Frank.

Gap going down. Someone must have told them they'll be late for dinner if they keep this pace.

I just love this GT. Purito or Majka. Something tells me that Aru and TD will lose they chance today.

 

[WheelofGear]

20 mins to the break? Where are the GC teams? Movistar, Katusha, Tinkoff and Astana need to work together in order to take some time on Dumoulin. It's now or never.

 

[WheelofGear]

How much time do they need to gain on Dumoulin in order to feel safe? 1.30-2 minutes at least?

If he is at the top, I'd say he can gain a minute for each 10k in the TT on Aru and Purito. A little less on Majka. And 1.30 on Chaves.

 

[WheelofGear]

If Tom limit his loses to 1 min today, I honestly think he will win. They need to take more time.

 

[70kmph]

Flecha is saying 30% gradient, wow

 

[Hugo Koblet]

How many km's to go?

 

[70kmph]

67KM remaining

 

[woodburn]

I am at work and this stage is putting me to sleep.

Re:

Opinions on this seem to differ greatly. Flecha just said they won't lose more than 1:30 in the ITT

 

[damian13ster]

So slow....
They better start charging up the mountains from 40km to go to tire Dumoulin out.

 

[Llirael Moroth]

61km for the break. Peleton just 19'15" behind. "Furious" chase!

 

[jsem94]

Well, if J-rod has an abysmal TT like in the 2011 Vuelta - he can def. lose more than three minutes.

Anybody ever heard of this Moser guy?
