Eurosport moderators start to talk about the race and that the riders are already on the Agnello, so they will immediately switch to live pics, right? No they will talk ten more minutes about useless facts about the stage and show us a few interviews because obviously nobody wants to see the race.

to be fair they weren't actually on the agnello. only on the false flat leading to it.
they will be starting it any second now

When was the last time a rider was dominant throughout a gt and then got put under any sort of danger on the final mountain stages?

Froome in the 2015 TdF, Contador in the 2015 Giro

Froome was at no point in any danger. Contador was at no point dominant

If Contador wasn't dominant, neither has been Kruijswijk.

Contador was as dominant as Kruijswijk has been so far.

Or do you think he would've been within 40'' of Chaves if he had started Giau 50'' behind?

OMG nothing will happen! (reverse psychology, worth a try!)

Frank Schleck tour de france 2008. Contador 2015 and froome 2015 were never really in danger

Days like these I remember why I hate the Ronde van Belgie.

Gigs is here so it'll just be a procession.

 

[Arredondo]

Evans Giro 2002. Landis 2006. Cunego 2004. Savoldelli 2005.

Multiple examples.

The harder part of Agnello is starting.

Moser already gone in front

The longer Valverde waits on the Agnello, the lower his chances. He's never been too good at high altitudes.

Thanks!

Who do people fancy for the win if the break stays clear? Are the Astana and Movistar guys in the break to help out later on, or for themselves?

Ulissi & Silin attack in the front group
