It's here: http://www.eitb.com/es/deportes/deporte-en-directo/

However, I think that it's restricted for people outside of Spain

Thx. Yes it is. Too bad, because till 2012 it wasn't.

Txurruka leading with 2:50 over the bunch led by Movistar with 77kms to go. Just approaching the first climb to Arkale.

I'm not sure why people were expecting Sagan to win here anyway. Old route, fine, but with this wall so close to the finish on the new route, just no. Not enough time to get back to the specialist climbers.

I have thought it would be cool to have Monte Igueldo in the race for some time, but I thought just as a finish, climbing the easier side. It'd be a puncheur finish but not so hard that it would make attacking elsewhere stupid.

I still think Erlaitz instead of Arkale on one of the circuits would have been the way to go though.

RTVE has started now. Still geo-restricted.

Did the British Eurosport guy just say Arkale has been moved way closer to the finish

 

[Netserk]

Live on Eurosport as well.

Not as bad as the Dutch ES, where the commentator said Tim Wellens is the big favorite for this race

That group is huge.

Another brilliant route change.

Haha. Not even in Belgium is he the biggest favourite.

Update:

Gilbert and Sagan both DNF already.

Txurruka was the lone breakaway, now reeled in, Movistar drilling it at the front with just under 60km to go.

If Movistar don't deliver in this race then they'll have failed badly. Here's hoping Stybar upsets the apple cart.

Not very classic alright.

Betfair:

Valverde 4.4, Gerrans 10, Rodriguez 11.5, Van Avermaet (huh?) 16.5, Martin 18, Albasini 21

 

[Fzotrlool]

Gerrans struggling..

Gerrans struggling.

 

[trevim]

Hopefully, both Andre Cardoso and Frank Schleck manage to do a good race!

 

[icefire]

Visconti, De Marchi, Montagutti and Lopez at the front

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Gerrans struggling..

Apparently Cav messed up his chances of reaching form at San Sebastian. Gotta love Cav for that

 

[SafeBet]

De Marchi must be gaining some fans around the world.
