Re:

Wasn't it Catalunya last year that had a sprint finish with lamposts in the middle of the road (or something) and where the breakaway on stage 1 managed to get a huge lead because the organisers were too incompetent to communicate the size of the gap to the peloton?

Gap to Peloton was Catalunya

Lampposts was Pais Vasco, where Adam Yates abandoned

Movistar taking risks.

So can we trust Kirby's translation of Barguil's interview this time?

 

[TMP402]

If it rains all week, Froome won't take risks.

I said a few days ago that the local broadcaster would inevitably drop the ball.

Is the breakaway already caught? Or what is Vervaeke doing?

Louis Vervaeke (Lotto) attacking with 41 km to go.

Re:

Port Ainé is perfect for Alberto to create a big gap, if he is recovered from his cold he will win. Maybe Superman Lopez could follow him.

Yup, one thing is sure and that is Froome, Quintana and Aru - only his biggest rivals - won't be able to follow him. But maybe Lopez!

Aru has like zero interest to do so. He's in Catalunya purely to get racing miles. Astana ain't got a full team here even.

Wait for Basque Country when Aru flies away from everyone.

Yes, I didn't say otherwise; I said watch out for Superman Lopez not watch out for Aru.
