Gaviria.. why? I'd probably prefer if he didn't do the race. Very strong rouleur squad, but would want another climber instead. All focus on Mas and let Lazkano pick a few days similar to today should be the strategy IMO.
You actually don't need that much of a pure climbing squad to get a good support. Versatile riders and roleurs could be more important then usual in the Vuelta. Oier and Verona re really top domestique on a lot of terrain.
The fact that Gaviria is supposedly in the Vuelta squad with a half-decent leadout combined with the fact that Mas is skipping Burgos tells us that Mas' recovery is going slower than planned and that Movistar therefore expect he will struggle to hit top form in the Vuelta.
Given how he rode yesterday, I can see Rogla letting himself get dropped near the finish and just do the minimum to win the race.Tomorrow's MTF
Roglic doesn't really do more than necessary anymore when it's not a GT, but if it's for the win, he usually still goes for it.
Take those extra few seconds to let the magnitude of winning Vuelta a Burgos really sink in.
Why not just stay on the wheel and win the sprint?
Nah that other side has an easier section between 4-2km that shuts down attacks in an unipuerto stage. This is pretty much the hardest side.
They tuned it down the year they introduced Picón Blanco.
Thanks
It's supposed to be wine red, but it seems they get a different hue every seasonThe Burgos jersey is just a shade between the Giro pink and the Vuelta red.
