What climb will they finish on tomorrow? PCS has them finishing on a long and and almost flat climb (looks like 2%-3% average on the profile) while Movistar claims that they will finish on a 3,7 km long climb with 7% in average. I am more inclined to believe in the latter. Whats true?

Movistar has this right.

Actually he wasn't :D

He was wearing the Russian champion kit. In the Tour of Flanders 2014. So i mean of 2013 :)
 
This climb has almost one Km at about 10 % at the begining, I have never climb it before with my bike, tomorrow will me my first time, But I did it walking and by car several times. There is a shorter way to climb, really really hard, but I think that is better this way, although with the other route, today forgiben to cars, evertbody would be talking about a climb that average 12 with more than 20 %,...and maybe people has more respect for that kind of climbs.

Respect today, that is Burgos, windy and hard for cycling, the tailwind allowed breakaway to win.
Tomorrow will be a hard stage, not just the final climb, but the rest is not too much for pure climbers, is more for people as Luis León.

It is a good stage for Dani Moreno, but a good climber should beat him, becouse the final climb is not Neila, but is quite hard.

There are 2 days, but Luis León is a rider that won Paris Nice to Contador, Taaramae is a man who won Queen stage in Vuelta a España (Farrapona), Scarponi was second (officially won) in the Giro and Super Lopez is a big climber.

Difficult to see Dani Moreno or Anacona even in the top 4 of the GC, but everything is possible.

Today, beautifull landscapes.
 
I hope LLS will hold on to the jersey.Anyway Taaramae/Scarponi/Lopez are ready to step up if he won't be good enough today.I don't see Astana not winning the overall GC,the only question is who will get it.

Lopez is going to win this race. It's impossible for LL to survive today and Neila.

Moreno to get 2nd, Belda 3rd.

Lopez bosses Moreno on a finish like this, and he's even 6th man in line at La Vuelta for Astana :eek:

Unfortunately, he won't be riding La Vuelta.

No? I thought he was already quite certain of his place.

On the other hand it's perhaps good for him, no GT in his first year in Europe.

I was certain as well, waited all year to see him compete on the highest level, but I think Nibali's participation cost him his place. In this interview with Bici, he says he'll be riding some races in Italy after Burgos.
