Re: Re:

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

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

That's the point. Peaking for the Worlds.

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

Peaking for the third week in this vuelta is pretty stupid. If they do it I don't think they will do it on purpose.

Today good day for Froome, hot weather and long climb. if he i not with the best today he has no chances in this Vuelta.
For Nairo, good as well, he is expected to be well in thi forst half of the Vuelta, but we fdont know at the end.
For Valverde, good day with hot and just one climb.
For Pozzo, with day with hot, but not very step.
Purito must be there, if noboby move from far we will win.
From Landa, not the best stage, but good, we will see really today how is him and Aru, a rider a ,little bit unconstant.
We will see if Chaves is a rider to be on the podium or if he was allowed.

is last week of vuelta that bad?

Re:

An ITT, a breakaway stage, a stage with an uphill ramp near the final, a mountainous stage but not that hard with a descent final and a Madrid sprint.

So yeah it's not that great to be honest.

 

[jsem94]

Not even sure anymore that the break will win.

Re:

I think its actually pretty good because there is no super difficult mtf at the end, but
1.) Its only 5 stages long
2.) There is an ITT at the beginning
3.) No mountain top finishes but two downhill finishes after 1st category mountains and one very easy uphill finish after a 2nd category climb

 

[vedrafjord]

Probably why Froome is doing the Vuelta. Doubtful he'd last a Giro style last week.

 

[Escarabajo]

Group is imploding!!!!!

Re:

Movistar putting in a monster ride early. Just like the first mountain stage in the Tour.

 

[rick james]

Aye movistar settinga good pace at the start of the climb

 

[yespatterns]

The break appears doomed, but hopefully the big guns put on a show

Re:

Not a single summit finish. All the hard mountain stages are in the first two weeks. It really is a perfect route for someone doing two consecutive GTs, especially if they're a good TTist

 

[AlexNYC]

The last week of this Vuelta is a disgrace. The last 4 stages will likely be inconsequential to the final GC.

 

[Rollthedice]

The break is doomed.

Furious pace by Movistar. Somebody will probably crack badly today.

[Red Rick]

Gap going down very quickly and Sky is near the front.I wonder how Froome is feeling
