Roche and Costa are the big losers on the stage. They weren't even in the final group of 14.
Looks like a battle between Lopéz and Nibali. But puncheurs can sometimes surprise on Green Mountain. Haas, Devenyns, Felline, even GVA could all do surprisingly well there.

Conci only 5 seconds behind, probably a small gap, not bad for a neopro riding his first stage race as a pro.
Re:
Haas is going for the win and I actually think he can pull off "a Hermans".
"I think I was seventh [it was ninth –ed] on Green Mountain last year and I think that I'm climbing a bit better than I was last year. I'm a little bit lighter, my bike's awesome. I'm going to fight to the end and whether or not I can hold it until the end and maybe even get onto the podium, who knows, it's cycling. You can do pretty special things when you're in front and, hopefully, I can channel something into going fast."

Another win tomorrow (or at least 2nd/3rd for bonus secs) and he has a good chunk of time on Nibali/Lopéz.

Re: Re:
Crashed 15 Ks into the stage. Made it back to the peloton. Crashed with 20 Ks to do. Didn't make it back. Might have decided to just take it easy the rest of the stage. GC - if he was ever going for it - obviously out.

I would be surprised if Lopez doesn't win this race, just saw a picture and he looks very much in-shape.
Go Greg. He usually isn't this good, this early, but I take that as a good sign. He really has evolved in the last 2-3 years, such an amazing rider. Can't wait for him to toy with Sagan.
