We're gonna set a new record for the least watched, or least commented on, stage yet!

The scenery looks hot and dry... (mandatory scenery comment.)

Other mandatory comment: always great to see the orange Euskatel jersey out in the break during the Vuelta

There's supposed to be a tailwind now so it'll get fast and furious.
Be interesting to see who wins in the Vlasov versus Lenny VE sprint competition today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Roglic with the usual pretend of 'what come comes' and 'day by day we see'


The man wants to win this race and has come here to win...stop with the BS

He's so incredibly boring in front of a microhpone. Just the same phrases over and over again without saying anything, but anyone following his career knows exactly what the goal is here.

Yes, today is very hot. If even at the start, during the morning, was difficult to be under the sun, can't imagine how it is more to the finish region, traditionally hotter.

For comparison, I spent the last week in central Spain, Castilla y Leon, and there were much more cooler temperatures than the ones we had the last couple of days here in Portugal.

 

[Rob5091]

Now it's the race to the 2km to go left hander with room for only 2 guys at a time.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

13km to go, I'll just go with Groves ( Wout coming in second) because in the sprinting department he seems to have little competition.

He's also not speaking his native tongue in interviews. Sagan was the same during interviews.

Portugal has so many climbs and they decided to put two dreadful stages. Someone who never visited Portugal must think Portugal's geography is similar to Danmark. Shame on you "inferior iberians"!

 

[Heston]

Feels like no one will be able to challenge Groves.

 

[RedheadDane]

Come on, Campy!

 

[noob]

That was fun

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I love you, Victor!

 

[noob]

Finally!

 

[RedheadDane]

A miracle has happened:
Van Aert was not second.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Now this time the Alpecin guy must have seen the flappy bird celebration!!!

 

[Valv.Piti]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wout, finally!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Very unconvincing by Groves, struggling to beat Aberasturi and Marit.

 

[red_flanders]

Too long since the wings! Noice.

Seemingly organizers don't want to have good stages in the beginning. If the best of Portugal would be used, probably the best time to have them would be end of second full week.
