Fortunato in the leader's jersey at the end of the day? Vino will be glad.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So with gap still going out, who will be in Red tonight?

Traeen, very closely followed by Armirail, is in current virtual lead; Vervaeke and Fortunato are within a minute of them and probably relish the final climb more; or will the gap be closed so that either Vingegaard retains it or one of the UAE pair (or trio) steps up?

Fortunato

Visma not respecting GC Fortunato.
They don't know what Vino has cooked for them.

Træen and Armirail are both better climbers than Vervaeke, especially a Vervaeke who has spent a lot of energy on the KOM jersey these past few days.

Looks like the entire police force of Andorra was at the border.

This will be an easy win for Pablo Castrillo. These chums have nothing on him.

 

[Potomac]

Sewage plant!

I don't think it's crazy strong but given the weakish lineup I agree it's a good break. There's only really Ineos and Movistar missing who could have had a go and didn't?

Edit: I am stupid, Castrillo is there. So basically it's just like Magnus Sheffield, this is as strong as a break could reasonably be.

Check the GC standings and there are four or five riders who should be in this break. I'll also add this could be one of the softest breaks in this Vuelta.

Who?

This will be an easy win for Pablo Castrillo. These chums have nothing on him.

All he has to do is sprint up the mountain for 5km like he did last year on cuito negru and he will win.

Jens Voigt sees a Kivilev moment coming with Traeen (I‘d assume the positive type of Kivilev moment) and says ‚Gianmarco Garofoli at 3‘15“ You have to catch that up first‘

Was that hail? I rode in a big hailstorm once. It hurt. There was nowhere to hide. No trees.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

On which stage / which year will Hatch and co figure out the intermediate points in the Vuelta?

No hail according to the guy in the moto, just big drops

 

[Peyroteo94]

Almeida is cooked?

 

[ice&fire]

Almeida starting his yoyo one climb in advance

Likely bike change

 

[Rob5091]

Jonas wants his finishing bottle ...

Ah. The bloopy rain.

 

[red_flanders]

welp. THAT makes the race a lot less interesting. Shame.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Mechanical for Almeida, first good ride of the year by Novak

 

[Rou]

The peloton ate 3 mins of the gap in 15-20 kms...
