Unspectacular since the Tour? Did you watch San Sebastian? How often has the main group at Jaizkibel been trimmed down to less than 10 men?

So the world's best climber acting as a domestique 40km from the finish not being able to drop 10 riders is spectacular?

Howard, should win easy but he may not be in very good shape, one of the last finishers every day so far and average since his collarbone.

If Howard isn't fit I think Colli is the quickest in this field. It's his first sprint since a year ago though

Ratto has been DQ'd now. Harsh decision imo, that was a stupid place to put a finish.

Still, leaning into Roux with an unclipped pedal was pretty ****ing dangerous

Yeh but I don't know why he'd go to the front and "attack" at a random point of the race when he can just beat everyone easily on Sunday. Sure he's a chance, but he's been completely unspectacular since the Tour and this is a race in the trough of his form cycle. There's no reason to expect anything from him and if pulls it will be a pretty impressive feat.

what? he only did one race since the tour which was san sebastian where he was increidblys trong but you must've missed it :rolleyes: he rode one of the fastest ascents of jaizkibel ever

1 leg was enough for win this one. :D

On a seriour note, you can see his bike jumps a lot in the last 50/100 meters which cause him to lose control and end up both leaning toward Roux and unclipping the pedal, so yeah I think it was a bit harsh.

Glad to see Ponzi back, I thought he could be something of a Sagan type but he's been rather unspectacular since he joined Astana.

Nice, with such a small group the race will explode right from the bottom of the climb!!!
