Norway:

Kristof and 3 other chaps have got a decent gap. No Arvesen, no Hushovd

Norway:

Hushovd is leading the chase but they are 3.49 after.

I honestly don't think the win is necessary at this point (for AC). I think the fact that he is competitive is the more important sign.

I don't know when was the last time that Contador did a proper sprint on the flat but I wouldn't be very surprised if he beat Rojas.

 

[Ferminal]

Another 4 join the chase.

In Norway a group of 4 is in the front. Alexander Kristoff, Filip Eidsheim, Vegard Stake Laengen and Øystein Stake Laengen. One more riders is 38 seconds behind and then a group around 1 minute behind. What remains of the main group with Hushovd is around 4 minutes down. There are 2 laps left (32 km).

What's the gap in Spain between 1st and 2nd group?

 

[Tuarts]

Look at the face of Tankink. Priceless

 

[Publicus]

actually this would be incredibly quick to be back in top form.
Maybe he hasn't lost his giro legs. Or maybe he is using means which you no doubt support. Or maybe he did recover and is just having a good rider today.

I dunno

Safe to say if Rojas was holding his wheel on a 7km 6% climb he's not back in top form.

 

[Ferminal]

Now a group of 15 or so chasing... anyone know how long to go and what the gap is?

I know, I more or less wanted to mention his love for dopers

No, watching on TV2 (Norge), but as I'm not very familiar with norwegian riders I don't know who the others are.
The Hushovd group consists of 7-8 riders, but it looks like noone wants to give him a hand.

 

[roundabout]

Hushovd is leading the chase but they are 3.49 after.

Either Kristoff got lucky, or he has as much sense of tactics as all of the remaining BMC team

 

[icefire]

What's the gap in Spain between 1st and 2nd group?

No idea, but the Movistar car is with Rojas, so it must be 1 minute or more

 

[AlejandroValverde]

But now Rojas works together with AC and he'll win the sprint deservedly

 

[Descender]

Rojas 2012 LBL winner?

 

[The Sheep]

Contador making friends again?

 

[dlwssonic]

Safe to say if Rojas was holding his wheel on a 7km 6% climb he's not back in top form.

yup and the competition isnt that strong either.
