Re:

I'll do an avatar bet that someone from this break of 5 is going to win the stage. Yes.

You were talking about 3 minutes, how about over/under 3 minutes advantage he'll save on the climb?

Okay, but make it 3 months.

3 months avatar bet, you're saying 3 minutes is enough for him, that is - he won't go 3 minutes slower than the men from the group behind (for example, if he hits the bottom with 10 minutes advantage, he won't finish with less than 7 minutes in hand)?

 

[PremierAndrew]

Who wins the stage? Txurruka or Quintero. Hopefully Quintero.

They need 3 minutes at the base of the climb to survive. They will get that.

lol what kind of drugs are you on?

3 minutes will be enough for a climber like Txurruka. The climb isn't that hard.

no the fact that they will never be able to take back 9 minutes before the climb and 3 minutes also isn't enough if they go full speed from the bottom.

Who is going to go full speed to chase a meaningless break? Katusha so they can gift another stage to someone and have Rodriguez miss out on bonus seconds again? Nope. He can make time if he wants with the other favourites. Movistar? Maybe. Garmin? Nope not strong enough. Sky? No, they are conserving their energy for the harder stages and Froome doesn't have the legs at the moment. Astana? Same reason as Sky. They are depleted and want to be stronger later in the race. OGE? No, providing Chaves doesn't lose the jersey they don't care. They would be happy to have him have an easy day. Saxo? No. They have a stage win already and would prefer to rest up so Sagan can chase more success.

Astana contributing a bit now

Does anyone have a stream in the US? None of the Euro ones on steephill work for me.

Gap already under 10 mins. I'm don't even think that the breakaway will survive

 

[cineteq]

Remember the goal for Astana and Movistar is to put 2 riders in the podium. They don't care about winning La Vuelta

Unfortunately, at least one of them will fail

Weird. I couldn't get the sportingvideo ones to work in either Chrome or IE, but I got the Spanish language stream. Thanks for the help to both of you.

I expect Landa and Aru to peak for the 3rd week. They're gonna go crazy there.

I don't believe in quintana and froome, if froome wouldn't have look cooked in the last week of the tour then maybe. And yea ryo quintana never fades in a GT thus it'll be the same when he does 2 in a row LMAO

always when i see these pro cyclist cycling in hot weather like today, i always say to myself that i would hate it, i struggle when it get close to 20 degrees celsius in central Scotland..i'd fry in the sunshine of Spain.

Re:

If they want to win, they better peak well before the third week. Or are they planning to destroy everyone in the ITT?

You'd need to ride fast to get some cooling...

Movi takes over after the short stint by Sky.

Re:

I expect Quintana to peak for the 3rd week, and Aru, Landa and Valverde peaking for the 4th.
