Quintana +3min
His wife and baby waiting at the finish
That was the one I was waiting for. Seeing him with his family brought tears to this old lady's eyes
Lol, of course Quintana will attack. Movistar has BY FAR been the most attacking team this year in GTs. And Lopez being 2 minutes behind is more or less the optimal situation for the race if he has the legs of Javalambre and Andorra.Terrible result for the rest of the Vuelta I think
Valverde is the least likely to attack, and with Quintana being so far back, i doubt he gets leeway to attack and endanger Valverde's 2nd place.
Its the same statement he made in the Giro that he lost after leading by a similar margin. I think this sets up nicely for the attacks and tactics from Movistar and Astana. The rest are already out of it.2 minutes seems a lot for Bala, not too much for MAL, 3 minutes is a huge difference for NQ, the big question mark is Poga, it's not over yet... But Rogla has made a huge statement today!!
Solid drafting effort there from Lopez. Great TT by his standards though, and probably shows that Roglic wasn't out of this world. Not that he needed to be.
Did you enjoy watching Wiggo and Froome annihilate everyone in 2012? I didn't.
I would agree and it is the only change Valverde has to compromise Roglic. Not sure if he can be but the proximity of Lopez and two more weeks of racing means it's far from over.Lol, of course Quintana will attack.

Agreed. Lopez was stronger on the time-trial today than I was expecting, considering how good Roglic was. And Lopez has looked like the strongest climber so far (though not crazily stronger, like Froome in his TDF-winning efforts). That effect could be amplified in the next week and a half.I would agree and it is the only change Valverde has to compromise Roglic.
