Inquitus said:Hard to see big gaps on this one, should favour Froome more than today, looks hard for Quintana to gain time tomorrow,
Red Rick said:This is what you get when try to rip off the Fuente De stage and fail horribly, terribly, and absimally. Besides that it is fine
hrotha said:Not sure what the point of this stage is. Surely it's too late for an early first week shuffle, Monte Sirino kind of showdown.

Not sure about that. Quintana was in the break all day, then rode on the front for the entire last 8km on a pretty flat climb - riding nearly everyone off his wheel without attacking. And Chaves still only gained about 10 seconds on him on the final climb.Arredondo said:Chaves as strong as Quintana today
Will be the best in the third week
