Interesting to see a Trek cyclist there, talking about Contador.
Theuns has a good chance to win the stage IMO!
You think? I think normally the climbs should be too hard for him.
I think they'll go easy on the first climb. 2nd climb, I think he could hang on. Trentin managed it... ;) at least, I don't think he is in the break in case Contador attacks, he's riding for himself

you were right for the first climb, now we'll see for the second

I hope he wins the stage - I really like him as a cyclist.
But I fear the profile is just too hard for him.
My head says Morkov will win his second Vuelta stage or perhaps Polanc will win.

If you say the profile is too hard for Theuns, then why do you think Morkov will win?

The main reason was because as I was writing my post Morkov attacked and had gained 20 seconds. A bit of cheating perhaps ( :eek: ), but that was why I thought he may win. It does also show he has good legs today, so I guess we will see.

Morkov and Theuns distanced already...
