Soler going really well today and will likely climb a few places today.
I wonder why Sosa has been so bad in this Vuelta. He starts to give me an impression of eternal promise.
Agreed, he's also much better at pokerface than Marc.Gaudu looks the strongest to me. He bridged over to Soler quite quickly

Anglirú tomorrow. That's the problem really. The exact same stage could produce vastly more aggressive racing from them if Anglirú was yesterday and there was a rest day tomorrow, but as it is it's secondary and tertiary contenders who are most active, and I'm sure if they fight out the stage here, Soler and Gaudu will lose any gains they make - and more - tomorrow, which is why the main contenders are content to have a 3km shootout and preserve their strength for tomorrow.
Anglirú stages will be raced the same whatever day they're held on because the MTF is so tough, whereas this stage will be raced very differently depending on where it falls in the race, which is why some of us wanted the stages flipped.

Jumbo is going to do it again. Trying to protect Roglics position instead of trying to gain time. Looks like they did not learn a thing. Would be hilarious if he finishes 2nd again.
