3.8 km. Too short.

yeah. However last year I remember them hitting the climb and I personally gave the peleton no chance.. but the guys up front hit the wall. But yeah I expect either martinez, Tschopp or moncoutie to take this.

If they come in together I'd put my money on Assan Bazayev .

I don't think they'll come in together. Someone will drop the others and it won't be Martinez, nor Bazayev. But do you guys think Moncoutie will win it, as he should? Or is he too old now and Tschopp with his youth and energy will outclimb him? :)

Considering they were never strong enough to defend evans, they seem to be doing a pretty good job for Gilbert, Or are they just about to crack?
