Frrooomy didn't and will destroy the opposition!
I doubt it. Perhaps he'll be the best time of all GC riders, but he's running out of gas.

I've mixed feelings about Contador's shape but we'll see in the ITT what he's worth.

If he's not within 30 seconds with Froome I'll be a bit worried.

And purito can lose 1.30 min but he can also lose 3 minutes. Hard to say with him.

AC's thoughts on today:

Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Banks Alberto Contador finished 22nd on today's stage after having launched an early attack on the climb:

“The attack wasn't really planned. The plan was to get through the stage without losing time. Actually, I was uncertain when the steep slope was coming but I have moved a bit to find a good position and then I saw that the second climb was the harder one. It was a pity to attack on the first climb and maybe I should have waited. However, this was a transition stage and now we have to enjoy the day off. We'll be back the day after tomorrow.

Alberto believes bonus seconds may play an important role in the race:

“Anything to add seconds is very important. Joaquin can lose time on the time trial to other specialists and bonuses could compensate for that. But it's a very tough and demanding race and the Vuelta is yet to begin,” says Alberto Contador.
