[airstream]

yep i think froomy will storm andorra in a manner a la ullrich '97.
time for showdown.

Yep. With the same speed despite on average gradient on last 4k is 2-3% steeper than on Arcalis

 

[Moviefan1203]

because the gap is coming down fast



froomy wants the stage win,froomy wants some carnage.
froomy wants you

Froomy is the new Vino!

 

[Dr.Sahl]

Yeah cause he's gonna crash or something like that

If he is not crashing "I still think he will be unlucky" then Froome will still win just wait and see.

Just promise me that you wont faint when he crashes.

Very fast pace. Under 40kms to go, already.

Much thanks!

You're welcome, the quality is pretty good.

Coverage has started on Eurosport!

 

[Mellow Velo]

This is how the Vuelta can truly suck.
Eurosport having to wait for TVE to begin their broadcast.
Nothing live and less than 25 kms to show.
Grand as in Grand Tour, it ain't.

Just have to wait for the ASO to take over from TVE.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Sky have everyone on the front, rather than the Roleurs + Froome approach of previous stages.

 

[ILovecycling]
