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

[Arredondo]

That is exactly what Miburo was talking about, no evidence of Contador or Valverde losing watts in bad weather.

No, but that's what i'm talking about.

But Purito and Quintana can lose relatively less power in this kind of weather, so be closer to the other three guys, then they lose if it's + 30 degrees.

Again, no proof of that.

I've seen Contador struggle in bad weather before. 2013 T-A, 2013 Lombardia, 2014 TDF. And some moments earlier in his career which I can't remember exactly anymore. He loses watts when the weather gets more extreme.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Again, no proof of that.

This no proof thing reminds me of the Clinic for some odd reason.

Yeah, let's wait for Contador's confession then

Looking good for the break. 65% chance for a winner from the break.

Movistar needs some help if they want to catch them.

 

[ILovecycling]

still about 7 minutes,dont think they are going to make it.

 

[Arredondo]

You're kidding right?

It's quite clear i think that someone from the break will win.

 

[Fzotrlool]

There is no way they are going to catch them, unless all the teams in the peloton take a pull, but they don't.

 

[JRTK73]

the question is who gets yellow rather than will the break survive?

 

[Roude Leiw]

Tommeke attacking?

EDIT brought back

 

[Roude Leiw]

the question is who gets yellow rather than will the break survive?

I would think Winner will honor his first name and take red

 

[cineteq]

Nobody will get yellow , the question is who going to excel from the GC favorites?

 

[Fzotrlool]

Right now? Anacona by 5 minutes.

I meant they are not going make it- that their chase wont be successful
(peloton)
Its very likely if they would have only 1 minute on the bottom of valdinares,the likes of arredondo and anacona will be so fresh that they would still make it to the top.

I don't get why Sky aren't helping. They could have an interest in taking a couple of seconds from the rest of the rivals. Also, Tinkov should help.

Sky helping now (must have heard you )

 

[Fzotrlool]

Finally, Sky in front.

 

[Arredondo]

Anacona is too nervous.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Yeah maybe. They have a great chance today.
