I see at least 2 as the bunch crosses the summit

It's the first of three big climbs! There won't be 45 at the top of the Alto de Cobertoria.

Only Kreuziger and Zaugg? It will be weak, especially when someone attacks on the next climb who is not so far in GC.

Willems is still up the road

There's Willems ahead an another Liquigas rider near the back of the peloton

Gruppa Perseguidora (spelling certainly all wrong) and Peloton

That san Lorenzo is one nasty climb. Still hope that Caisse, Katusha and Sastre will put the pressure on early.

That kind of profile has the capacity to inspired prudence for the cautious and daring deeds by the bold ones. Let's see if Mosquera and his backer can put a little flame early on or if he will settle for a few seconds and an honor place near the podium

 

[vcampbell]

Willems is still up the road

Yeah, I know, but what can he help? He isn't the strong men.

 

[Frosty]

Of the riders in various groups off the front Moncoutie is best placed at 6.21 down. Then LL Sanchez at 7.01. The Basuqe Nieve is at 8.20

 

[Frosty]

No, i dont think he will be much help for more than a minute or so if they are going full-pelt uphill. However, if Willems is still near the front at the top then he could be helpful in chasing down any attacks in between the second and third climbs.

Moncoutie is in there to grabs some mountain points probably and will be satisfied to survive as long as he can. The gap is going to thumble hard by the last climb

Cancellara is still there after riding last night

Now they're 70!

That's right, on the flat stage he can be a great help.

Euskaltel train is comming *TOOT TOOT*

There is a train in Donostia with "Txu Txu" written on it (from the pronunciation).

I think this is apt, with everyone's favourite Txu-txu doing his usual chasse-patate.

Probably got extra motivation after Hoogerland "signed" him to Vacansoleil

Lol, Kelly just talked about Caisse looking at the Teams Classification. I love the scenery in Asturias.

Yes, the gap will come down by the foot of the last climb. If they dont go mad on the next climb then someone will put the hammer down leading up to the last climb as one of the top 3 will want to keep the time bonuses active. Dont fancy a breakaway win myself, just giving some info on where the guys out front lie on GC

 

[roundabout]

Nice TTT from Euskaltel

I was under the impression that Spanish teams do actually care about the Vuelta team classification?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

The EUS choo choo crossed the bridge!

Benatti enters the main group. They're now more than 80 and soft pedalling
