Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2019 stage 10: Jurançon-Pau > 36.2km ITT

My dark horses for today are De Gendt (3rd in the TT at le tour, on a similarly spiky course), and Martinez (EF have to have some good luck at some point, right?!)

Hard to see anyone other than Roglic taking the win though...
 
UAE plan (notice that they misspelled Pogacar) :)

According to a cyclingnews article, the first 2/3 of the course is very classics-inspired. Rolling narrow roads around the Spanish vineyards. There is a lot of sharp corner where the steady rhythm can be interrupted.

It's only the last 10k which is pretty straight-forward.

It's not a ITT for the pure specialists.
