Stage 9, Sunday August 31 | Carboneras de Guadazaón - Aramón Valdelinares, 185km

[Arredondo]

I havent seen yesterday stage,is it possible that quintana will be somewhat tired after yesterdays pulling in echelons?

I expected your 5000th post something more positive

 

[cineteq]

1st hour, 47 km/h average speed.

 

[TommyPlus]

Vorganov from the break if it sticks

 

[trevim]

Cataldo, Bilbao, Coppel, Bouet, Jungels, Nerz, Hesjedal, Javier Moreno, Berhane, Vorganov, Nocentini, Hansen.

What do you think?

It's hard to gauge form at this point of the season but Hesjedal, Berhane, Cataldo are good climbers but I can also see one of the others taking it.

He was tired yesterday, he was the one that snapped the elastic and caused the split.

Rain on the horizon

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Pelotón a 6'22"... y sigue subiendo

They're giving the break some space

I see Bouet also as a really dangerous guy for the win. He is climbing well this Vuelta.

He was 10th in Lombardia last year.

He's not that good in rain, but it's in the final. Not the whole stage.

It's not just rain, the wind will be blowing and temperature will be way cooler. I like Purito and Quintana's chances.

It seems inevitable. Can we scratch out Froome too?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Are we going to get another stage like:
Giro 2010 — Lucera to L'Aquila
?

 

[Flamin]

Meh, boring breakaway win.

 

[jens_attacks]

If hesjedal has the magic bike again, he might
win the overall today eeeekk

 

[LaFlorecita]

Meh, boring breakaway win.

A bit disappointing

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ofcourse not. Winner Anacona will be the winner here

It's definitely a gift from heaven for Purito. I'm looking forward to see if he attacks.

 

[Rollthedice]

7:35 to peloton. Heavy rain at the arrival.

 

[Miburo]

A bit disappointing
