yea but Belgium will send Thomas de Gendt and France will send Sylvain Chavanel to mark it. Amets Txurruka will bridge across when they're at the peak of their escape, because he is the king of the chasse-patate, and then when they're back within touching distance Linus Gerdemann and Vino will jump the gap.

Yeh this is the reason I don't understand why Rabobank didn't bring Mollema to Burgos and Weening to Poland. Suits both riders much better and it would be nice to see Mollema compete with some good names at Burgos.

What? The Great Mollema doesn't has to show that he is the Chosen ONE, the Ultimate cyclist, The Greatest of ALL Times!!! Merckx? Who is that old fart? Step Aside for the Great Mollema! For Mollema, Burgos is tooo easy, Nibali, Scarponi, Samu, Anton? pffff Rookies... That's why he went to Poland cuz is a sprinter race and is a new challenge... but don't worry is not that hard, He can beat Greipel - Benatti - Bozic - Davis while he is preparing a fondue... :rolleyes::D

It may not be a mountain stage, but the parcour has certainly fractured the peloton.
Quality group away on the final 3rd cat.

Yes.
9km to go.
Meanwhile in Portugal, after 2 hours, they continue to talk about the Volta.
Some things never change!

Well tomorrow we will have some fireworks and a lot of ppl trying to get in the breakaway... Indeed seems to be a Samu's finish but I think that he can do better in steeper sections like Las Lagunas de Neila... This finish is for a power climber... what about Sicard or Arroyo FTW tomorrow?

What's so typically Sanchez about it?
It's uphill but not so steep that a potentially stronger climber could drop him (if there were indeed one present), and Samu is fast. Granted, Samu now climbs so well any mountain top finish suits him, but I still tend to think of him as a hilly classics rider.

EE will keep them on a short leash on the flat.
It isn't rocket science to see that it will all kick off on the 3rd cat finish.
