I dunno, Lopez' Ruta del Sol victory wasn't convincing at all, considering the poor start list quality.This is a Lopez victory if I have ever seen one.

I remembering seeing one uphill but not very steep finish where Lopez ended up basically riding everyone right off his wheel (true, it was only the Ineo$$ C or D team)I dunno, Lopez' Ruta del Sol victory wasn't convincing at all, considering the poor start list quality.
And apparently he has crashed now.
versus the amazing Tolhoek you meanI remembering seeing one uphill but not very steep finish where Lopez ended up basically riding everyone right off his wheel (true, it was only the Ineo$$ C or D team)
The peloton (or at least Astana) will have to work for it now. Bahrain might help them, cause you'd expect Colbrelli to survive the last hill with his current form.
Agree. Also the possible gap that somene could make on that climb (even though it's very steep) isn't going to be very huge. So if Colbrelli drops, there's still 12,5 km to catch up and with some decent cooperation that should be enough.If I was Bahrain I'd keep men until that last hill. Cos if someone strong attacks there, Colbrelli won't survive imo and he'll need the help to get back up to the attackers after the hill
Take your bike, ride 2,1k, 5,2% uphill, and after that go for 1,3k, 12% one. Then tell me which one was harder for you.The climb categorisation on this stage is so ASO. 2.1k at 5.2%= cat 4 but 2.1k at 6.2%= cat 3. 1.3k at 12%- cat 2!
Come on, you have to admit it's hilarious to try to call 1.3k at 12% a cat 2 climb.Take your bike, ride 2,1k, 5,2% uphill, and after that go for 1,3k, 12% one. Then tell me which one was harder for you.![]()

It is in general. But aren't those categories given more like in refernece to this particular stage. It makes more sense thenCome on, you have to admit it's hilarious to try to call 1.3k at 12% a cat 2 climb.
2.1 * 5.2^2 = ~57Come on, you have to admit it's hilarious to try to call 1.3k at 12% a cat 2 climb.
