Why not go hard on the hill aswell to make the race harder? Now the guys who went hard on the flat will have to do it again and i doubt they'll have much energy left.

Meanwhile they gained 2 minutes.

Movistar looks worse than US Postal Service! At least US Postal was consequent with either chasing down attacks or giving away stage wins as a gift!
At least they delivered the mail on time!

I think Movistar doesn't want to spend climbers on flat before last climb. I think they can catch breakaway without any problems.

I don't see the breakaway surviving at all
but is this climb so hard? niemec lost only 1 minute in the last 5 km in 2014. for me 3-4 minutes is enough

3:30 - this one is on the ropes - depends on whether we see GC action in the bottom of the climb

Break has pretty much no chance at this point. Thank f*ck

Also I wonder what the odds are on one of the favourites dropping their chain today
