Re:

Ain't Aru always in pain anyway? If he's right now already, he should snarl his teeth and bite like a mad dog.

We just know those riders were afected, but not if any of the got pain...

Re: Re:

Katusha chasing.

They'll need help sooner or later though.

It reminds me of Mirador de Ezaro stage. They didn't need any help back then

Help me out here [/quote]

Movistar and Tinkoff didn't want to help Katusha that day, because Purito was the big favorite to win there. So Katusha chased alone the whole day, and eventually Purito managed to overtake Astarloza/Meyer for the stage win.

But they will get help. Movistar feel they have a chance with the current Purito, and the gap is only 3.30.

Monster climb

 

[Inquitus]

Aye its a brute and the 2nd time it hangs a left and adds 500m of super steep to whats already a monster.

 

[Rollthedice]

This climb looks proper for Froome to revisit his zigzagging days.

Nice to see fans at the Vuelta for a change, and it's not even Basque Country.

 

[Arredondo]

That last km looks Purito style too me also.

They hang a left the final time and do an extra 500m super steep.

Any news on Pozzo - I see his odds increase from 41 to 250?

 

[durtyfat]

I don't see Landa in the peloton. Did something happen to him?

Ok thx! Forgot about the fact they didn't climb to the top the first time.

I think the right profile for the last kms is this:

Haven't seen the man once, he must be in Zubeldia's shadow!

 

[Hedebooo]

Has anyone besides Sagan abandoned today?

Pozzovivo is always there, but the camera can never quite see his face because it wants to focus on other riders, and Pozzovivo ends underneath the camerashot. He is pretty small
