Alright, I'm using a new tactic... Matti to get in top-30!

Don't think he'll make it.

Anyway wind might play a role but yeah we all know tomorrow is going to be way more important.

Maybe one of the most interesting cycling days of the year or maybe i'm just overdoing it a bit :D

I expect more echelons on this stage.
 
Looks like we are in for a couple of "pretty" stages, before returning to the big climbs.
Can anybody in Spain confirm that RTVE have extra coverage over the weekend and of Cuita Negru on Monday?

Eurosport's schedules show them going live an hour earlier.:)
 
Head to head questionaire.
What would you be if you werent a cyclist

Contador :Vet

Froome: I studied economy at Uni (cue 2 minute speech to basically say:Economist)

Your idol?

Contador Lance

Froome :Jens Voigt (cue 2 minute speech about why he likes Voigt)

The others best quality?

Contador :Froomes Time trial
Froome: Contadors explosiveness (cue about 1 minute speech)

Finish the sentence "If nothing goes right...
Contador: Champion is revealed
Froome: well, i would say (2 minute speech culminating in - ) take it as an experience

Qualities youd take from other riders
Contador:
Indurains tt
Armstrongs determination

Froome:
Sprint like Cav (2 minute speech on Cav)
Voigts determination (2 minute repeat speech on Voigt )
Indurains tt (run out of breath by nbow)

Best moment of your career
Contaodr: when i won Chrono in Annency


Froome : Stage 17 of last years Vuelta to Pena Cabarga. That was special because....

Contador doesn't need Armstrong determination.

His will to win is also very high and he will do a lot for it, eg he did the TT 8 times. Ok not armstrong-level but other people need that way more (AS) :p

I like that Froome chose Pena Cabarga over Plance des belles filles.

But Contador was really stupid choosing Lance. Indurain is such a more obvious option.

I'm not holding that against him too much, he probably was just being truthful. The question was actually "idol from your youth" if I heard correctly, so Contador was just 8 when Indurain won his first Tour and 12 when he won his last. It's normal that Armstrong's victories made a bigger impression on him.

Some great crowds.



Eurosport did a Contador vs Froome head to head questionaire. I just copied what i heard. Contador should have had 1 other rider quality but i didnt hear it

It was climbing like Pantani:)
