What is the name of 2014'wheelsucker in yellow-black shirts?
The plan is to Stick Valverde, Mas and Soler in the break, and then have Rojas jump across to them on the next to last climb,, have all three of them work for him so Rojas can then finish the attack off on the descent so he can use his climbing legs to win the stage and further the Team Classification lead.After Mas' comment about strategy, Valverde was asked and his comment was basically there are several options and we'd decide later. He also made a comment about we've been aggressive and will continue to be. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't, but we'll be there. So take from that whatever you wish, other than it sounds like they don't have any idea what they are planning for these two stages.
I think he is aiming for a win the following day. Then again, if Froome can summon it...he is probably looking for a win the following day also. I think the GC riders are going to be calm on this one. And then fireworks to come the following day.If Roglic wins this only a major jacket fail can keep him from winning the whole race.
Pretty much what we'll get today imo. Carapaz will try and try and Roglic will sit on his wheel and jump him in the final kMandatory viewing

Contador needs to be hurt. His teammate and friend lost three minutes that day. If he had any confidence in him, he should have dropped back to help him. No wonder he had to take him with him to his next team and make him a DS for Kometa to make up for itHeal: Alberto Contador
Hurt: Christopher Froome
Yeah it’s a crime. People should be jailed for this. Just enjoy an amazing weekend instead of moaning.This coming directly before the Angliru stage is a crime. Still hoping for proper action though.
The problem is that just doing the exact same stages in the opposite order would increase the chances of an amazing weekend. Angliru will be raced the same whether it's a Saturday or a Sunday, whereas Farrapona will be less likely to see action when it takes place a day before Angliru than if it takes place before a rest day.Yeah it’s a crime.

Enjoy, don't moan! - Or do like me and moan about moaning.Yeah it’s a crime. People should be jailed for this. Just enjoy an amazing weekend instead of moaning.
They should just finish in Pola de Somiedo. ~10km of ~3% ascent after the San Lorenzo descent.The problem is that just doing the exact same stages in the opposite order would increase the chances of an amazing weekend.

Hopefully the high pace in the Suances stage plays a role, much as the Peyresourde stage in the Tour completely killed stage 6 into the worst Grand Tour mountain stage since Tarbes 2009, but the chaos of the maillot vert battle in the crosswinds on stage 7 made up for that.
They will manage to make the stage hard just to drop Valverde & Soler on the penultimate climb and assure heroic isolation of Mas at the last one.Movistar tactics are as drunk as always. The only difference is, now they're all friends, and are all drunk together!
