Fully deserved win for Chavez :) Big fail for Valverde and J.Rod,didn't expected such a poor showing :(

Valverde couldn't really attack with Quintana up the road. So it's not much indication of his form. The other favourites all look very vulnerable though.

That was a great stage. However I think that Froome is now the favorite for the vuelta, because we know that he actually recovered well.
And now I am getting bold: Dumoulin to win the Vuelta :D

Poor? Purito was the strongest today. Drops Bala by 5 seconds.

They just looked at each other way too long.

He's getting dropped by Purito by 5 seconds. Shows to me he wasn't that good (although Purito remains the best in the world on these kind of finish).

Bala couldn't attack with Quintana up the road.

Yet Purito still finished ahead of him, which means Purito was stronger.

Top notch ride by Dumoulin.
