It's at least Roglic related

I understand that with Erviti being in the break Movistar may have a plan that somehow will be screvved

I think Erviti is only in the break to get over the Fito to pull toward the bottom of the final climb. I think Movistar does want a piece of this

There's this between Fito and the flat that takes them to the bottom of Covadonga

Re: Re:

Bennet is the main "threat" and he is 10 minutes so this one should go to the break. Also impressed with Van Poppel. Especially when sprinters were dropped.

Guessing Van Poppel will empty himself for Bennet

I know but I am still impressed he actually made it to that group.

I wonder if the sprinters in that group make it over Mirador del Fito the first time

Astana upping the pace in the peloton. Superman has a plan.

Praise be to Vino

The great climber Van Poppel leading the break upwards.....

I like what Astana is doing, but I don't think that Lopez can beat Quintana today.

It would be disgusiting if MAL would be the third with the double podium at GT in 2018.

Why? In what way would he not have earned it?

Some people forget he’s still a young rider I guess. What do they expect? Beating Quintana, Froome, Dumoulin already... etc? Lol. Let him play and learn.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Is Bennett there for himself or Kruiswijk?

 

[Red Rick]

Only a light training for Nibali today

The peloton sighs in relief

And Gorka gone. Does not look too promising for Ion's ambitions to stay within stricking distance to podium before TT.

OMG, yesterday he could win! Just work with Quintana and finally attack him! From ca. 1.5-2km which not suits too much to Yates.
And please remember his games with Carapaz last Giro. Disguisting.

I don't know what exactly Astana is doing but considering they still have their whole team in front I don't think they are really trying to make the race hard. I'd say this could even be an indication for Lopez not feeling very well
