Rodriguez for the win.

Rodriguez for the win.

Honrer for a Big Mac. Judging by the sub-frezing temps, it is a wise move.
Somthing like "I think have some knee pain." or more like "are you guys out of your mind?"

A younger man's game today. Agree Rodriguez likely. I pray a safe race for all.

A good sign if you ask me. With age, the body fails, and you gain the wisdom to know it. Hopefully it will be bright and sunny at the Vasco.

Snickers all around.

You're the one comparing him to Schleck

On the bad luck tally, Schleck has a long way to go before coming anywhere near Gesink.

Gesink has 'no way' though to come near to what Schleck already has achieved

Is there any discussion about that?

Anyway, on topic: Rodriguez will want this. I'm curious if the Sky train won't drop him again, like last week. Sub zero temperatures will also do their bit.

Roads are clear and dry at summit, so hopefully no problems

Kohler (BMC), Haedo (CAN), Domagalski (CJR) i Edet (COF) in escape 7:30 after 20k

Yesterday when I was watching dutch eurosport they said the summit was covered with snow and expected the summit finish to be cancelled.

I hope they were wrong!

We need Ryo here with his snow forecast. After all, he predicted it absolutely right last year...

Two words too many - that guy is always right. And such a charmer!

[Descender]

Surprise surprise!

Due to technical problems the coverage will not start until 16:00 CET.

The finish is scheduled at 16:47.

And I'm not even positive we'll get any decent pictures at all...

Katusha and Sky leading the chase, gap down to 5 minutes.

 

[masking_agent]

[MatParker117]

For those in the UK coverage starts in 15 on British Eurosport.

 

[happytramp]

From what I can see on TV it looks like it's going to come down to a group sprint.

 

[jens_attacks]

[Moose McKnuckles]

Anybody else feel as though they've seen this stage before?

 

[HiCadence]

I'm calling it now Meersman to win yet again.

 

[WinterRider]

Anybody else feel as though they've seen this stage before?

Should be good though, I heard in the feed they'll do 5 laps of the finishing circuit. Given its a massive snow covered mountain this should be a killer of a finish!

It'll be less repetitive in what we'll see in 30 min
