If you are visiting, and want to fit in, it is Bunna Vista, not Bwana Vista.

thanks.no pedraza after all?

In an absolute shock, another Columbian is attacking. Alzate from Exergy trying to bridge.

 

[jobiwan]

Evidentely break has 4:20 over Alzate, 4:50 over peloton.

 

[Mellow Velo]

This is going to be one, long stage, if the weather keeps this up.
It's making me feel quite at home. (which, of course, I am.)

 

[*G*K*S*]

thanks.no pedraza after all?

No, he's there, I just missed him on the list.

 

[just some guy]

Rain .............

 

[benpounder]

To rain on some's parade, this break will not succeed. The drag from Buena Vista to the foot of Independence Pass is merciless.

 

[just some guy]

ITT

LL
TJVG
CVV
TD

and a couple of other Americans there the guys they picked.

Evans maybe ???

Edit now they mention Andy and Fränk

and Evans might go well.

i expected santi botero to send three guys at the front but two is good too.i'm sure henao will hit hard

 

[jobiwan]

Alzate 3:00 behind. Peloton 4:10 behind. Essentially at halfway point of the stage.
Probably 3 hours left in the saddle.

 

[krebs303]

This is exactly what I want right now. A hard workout this morning, and then nothing but eating, sitting, and tele-spectating for a few hours (at least until run #2 later).

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

People don't forget the ITT is uphill, and only 16km.

It's a semi-mountain ITT almost, at altitude.

 

[roundabout]

TT will be 36-37 km/h average. Will suit the strong guys.

 

[jobiwan]

The breakaway has arrived back in TV land.

 

[Havetts]

Live images again!

 

[Mellow Velo]

We are live again.
Nasty looking clouds. Wind wind and more wind talk.

 

[cineteq]

Live images again!

You mean frozen live streaming?

 

[jobiwan]

Alzate looks to be giving up on his chase, he'll be back in the bunch shortly.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Gotta admit, the Shack Tour tracker is da bomb!

 

[jobiwan]

Alzate back in the back now. This could be a hard chase to the bottom of Independence.

 

[jobiwan]

Lightning in the back of the picture. Good thing they're not going THAT way!
