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.
If Roglic wins this only a major jacket fail can keep him from winning the whole race.

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.

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!
Enjoy, don't moan! - Or do like me and moan about moaning.
