The only question is, by how much time does Remco want to win?

I feel like if Remco goes early the others are going to sit and stare at each other and he’ll get like a minute or more. Unless Roglic can follow him but I don’t think he will for very longThe only question is, by how much time does Remco want to win?
Get ready for a VAM fest tomorrow. Considering its consistent steepness, low elevation and uni-puerto stage the final climb enables superb climbing speeds.
I think yesterday it became pretty clear that Roglič is following wheels because he's on the limit with Remco right now. Hanging on for dear life and then trying to win the sprint is not exactly a bad tactic when there are bonuses.Lets hope it wont be a nothing burger.
I doubt Roglic will attack, he loves wheelsucking to watch the butt of Remco.
Ciconne might attack if Remco is not showing anything and he thinks he can get away.
Remco might want to try sprinting again to make it 2-2, so the forum is happy.

Yes, so the same as the one i posted initially.Looks like the same route to me, and the same as 2017. What you're showing is the climb w/o the shallow run in. Same final kms it would appear. It's being referred to as "Lo Port" on every profile I'm seeing. Anyway, same climb.

I think that'd be awsome if that were actually his motivation.I doubt Roglic will attack, he loves wheelsucking to watch the butt of Remco.
Fans are in the trenches while Rog is basically full "don't worry be happy"
What are you talking about? He's already won the Giro after dropping Roglic for 2 seconds yesterday.Remco only 26th. Seems like he peaked too early and his form really fell of a cliff. Will stand no chance in the giro.
Logistics - narrow road and very little space at the summit. It isn't less workable than something like Gamoniteiro, but it would still be a pain to organise and the return for it would likely be turning the race into a 'win the main MTF, win the GC' affair whereas now, Vallter isn't much easier.Any reason they don't finish at the top?
Makes sense. Still a really good climb, I wish it was in this race more often, or even in La Vuelta.Logistics - narrow road and very little space at the summit.

That sprint wasn't good yesterday, so I called it a fake news bike.Interesting info. Roglič said, he used Cervélo S (sprint) version of the bike yesterday. Tommorow, he'll use the R version.
The great thing about today's stage was no big crash in the finale.
Imagine losing a two up sprint with a sprint bike against one of the worst sprinters in the peloton.Interesting info. Roglič said, he used Cervélo S (sprint) version of the bike yesterday. Tommorow, he'll use the R version.

Did he lose to Landa?Imagine losing a two up sprint with a sprint bike against one of the worst sprinters in the peloton.
Don't be so obssesed with Roglič that you need to stick your little thing everywhere.Imagine losing a two up sprint with a sprint bike against one of the worst sprinters in the peloton.
BTW, Castroviejo is Ineos‘ best placed man on GC, currently, in 21st spot. Thomas and Bernal way behind. That‘s surprising, probably Thomas and Bernal lack shape and Bernal might still feel aftermath of his latest injury. Get well soon!…
Wasn't Thomas planning to contend the Giro? So if this is due to form, he has a serious problem.
While I'd agree on Roglic sitting yesterday...the Remco-only fans seem to think it's all over. We'll see.I think yesterday it became pretty clear that Roglič is following wheels because he's on the limit with Remco right now.
