Vuelta a Burgos 2016

[Taxus4a]

Today very hard finish in Lerma, with cobbles.

Before long straight and flat road maybe with wind.. although the stage is quite hilly.

 

[Taxus4a]

I think is quite hard for Barbero, but who knows... maybe better for Peio Bilbao, although the cobbles will take influence...

Maybe echelonns before the finish line, so it is a stage for complete riders, not just puncheurs,

The climb is very short anyway. 100 soft meters before to get the medieval arch and climb 400 m cobble about 6 % average and 10 max

Yes, he rides for Cannondale now.

For Mersman is good and maybe Simon Yates.

That image reminds me of a stage in Tirreno-Adriatico when Sagan was climbing like a mad man (while riding for Cannondale) versus the little climber dudes and actually won a rather steep uphill finish that created a bit of controversy because he was supposedly riding for Nibali at the time. Of course Nibali wasn't happy to have been upstaged by the young upstart in his native land at a major race. Sagan was humble and repentant and worked hard for Nibali the rest of the week. Roads were similarly narrow but I don't believe they were cobbled like this. It was preview of what was to come with Sagan. Awesome talent.

Pardon me for asking

the guy is speaking basque
the pixels are at a premium
and the forum is sarcastic.

I guess Alberto aint at the front then?

 

[Zaka_fan]

Contador 3rd wheel - ?

 

[GJB123]

I see at least 4 Tinkoff riders in the direct vicinity of the Cannonade rider you highlighted and one slightly further back. One of the 5 is probably AC, but impossible to tell from here. My guess, either the one directly right or left and lightly in front of the Cannondale rider.

Echelons!

[lemon cheese cake]

Re:

He was 4th, so very good...

He looked very strong in the echelons.
