This guy has been sayng this for days while organizers said there was no problem. Wind is "only" 30km/u or even less now so they should be fine unless some roads are really blocked, but no word about that yet.

I think they - Widar especially - will struggle with the wind, it's gonna be for some bigger boys today probably. Serious headwind on the climb doesn't help either, the last little kicker does have strong tailwind tho so possible for a late attack from for example Morgado.

Which wouldn't be relevant anyways, probably some roads that are flooded. As long as the final circuit is in tact (it's the most windy part of the course tho), it's fine.

If Enigmartinez has decided he's up for it for once, he is a threat here too.

 

[Netserk]

live images now, 51 km to go

they are on the penultimate lap, i think. peloton is in no hurry

...

break on the main climb for the second time

 

[Netserk]

red bull plays their first card

 

[Netserk]

now uae takes the front of the peloton. its between them, red bull and nsn at the front

he attacks now

 

[James M]

he attacks now

Flipping the script thats the way to go.

 

[Samamba]

I tune in and the first thing I see is McNulty getting motopaced. This sport man

 

[Samamba]

So McNulty, Martinez, Poole and Sheehan. Looking good already. Perfect group I would say

Peloton not chasing at all

 

[James M]

Absolutely stunning scenery along the coast.

 

[Squire]

Pretty much over for the peloton, isn't it?

 

[James M]

Think so I dont think whats left of the peloton have enough interested parties to close this now.

Saying that Cofidis and EF seem to be collaborating good but yeah still

 

[Samamba]

45 seconds. Too much probably, too big of a gap to make the jump and there won't be any domestiques left after the climb either probably

Yeah, Cofidis and EF vs. February McNulty. Good luck.

 

[James M]

They have closed 20sec kinda fast tho. Someone will jump on the next Rua very soon.

Yeah if someone is strong enough maybe it's possible, but then the question is is he was strong enough why isn't he already in that group

 

[Samamba]

Lotto joining the chase now with Slock, he's a powerhouse.

Widar started last climb in position 80

Thats always the question cause jumping will happen up front too undoubtably yes on Rua.

Also people jumping from behind will be marked and killing the interest in the chase if Morgada and tratnik lets say is good enough for that which I assume. Gonne happen very soon lets see.
