Nope. Phil Gil's day.
 
Ineos again with no one in the breakaway. What a pointless Vuelta...
It would be a hame if they waste the last climb but even if there are attacks I don't think anyone will be able to distance Roglic
Could almost see it when they announced their team, picking Elissonde over Cruz, then picking Cruz again along with 4 rouleurs who can't do anything else than help captains. Everything about the team this Vuelta has been completely clueless.
But Movistar, winning 2 stages and being 2nd and 4th, are the clueless ones, apparently.

looks like their objective is to stay invisible for some reason... perhaps some there is Zubeldia team competition too

I still can't understand Thomas not riding the Vuelta. Hart has (to my disappointment) not been as good as I thought he would, and Poels has not been at his usual level, either. But neither of those guys have ever shown they could be legitimate GT GC threats.

Think großschartner probably went too early. He might have had a shot on the final climb had he stayed in the group.
Still I'm at least pleased to see the austrian bora boys are riding more aggressively recently. Now only konrad is ninjaing his way through stage races
