Re: Re:

Should today's finish be called Petit Finhaut-Emosson?

To me, it looks like Movi has taken a leaf or two from Sky's book, so should be interesting to see who'll have the stronger train.
Normally, no one should be able to match Sky, but as I've mentioned, Movi's starting to resemble Sky, and Quintana's diesel could find the strong train useful.

Movistar always had train-like strength mountain domestique's, independently on Sky. Astana too.

Yes, but they haven't been able to line it up properly, yet. Sky's had the upper hand most of the time, so far.
With their latest tt improvements I see they've learned how to sort out the power output data, so the methodology is what I'm talking about, not the train(s) by itself.
Katusha's leaders should have a say, but the team as a whole - I doubt.

Should be interesting. The slope is fairly shallow, Sky might be able to line up the train despite being weakened.

I was not able to watch most of the 2015 tour, but if I recall correctly in 2013 Movistar had a much stronger and stable train than Sky in Le Tour.

Only on a couple of occasions (2013). And it wasn't exactly the train. More like a guerilla trying to isolate the target.
