Re:

Ion and Gorka Izagirre both will not start so Movistar 2 riders down already (and 1 of their co leaders)

Why? Illness?

 

[Velolover2]

Purito has said that he expects to fight to for the overall. I reckon he'll end up on the podium. His shape is much better than what people think.

Sad news, for the race and for Nairo

 

[Valv.Piti]

Oh, that really sucks. Ion's favourite race....

Anyone know at what time live coverage starts today?

 

[Txrt]

No rain now. Cloudy and wet roads but no rain.

Everyone was very nice. I'll say more after, Contador was a boss today again with everyone.

He beats someone? Nairo? Purito?

I think is a good stage for Rui Costa, is one of my favourites.

ETb has been showing live images from 15:00 on

There could be some rain in an hour so

Tinkoff and Orica sharing the workload

 

[SafeBet]

Apparently Brambilla was in the break but then waited for the bunch. Now 3 riders in front: Edet, Wyss, Lastras.

 

[WheelofGear]

Dan Martin will be taking it easy in Pais Vasco.

shocking camera work again

Hope Contador has a go on that categorie 1 climb

 

[Velolover2]

Alto De Ixua is a hard climb. I'd love to see some action from a brave rider there.

Such a pity for Ion Izagirre ...he seemed to be going so well

Opens the door for Henao I suppose but I think Contador may win this esp with Quintana not top and Dan Martin not good at TTs (although he will I'd say win a stage or more)

Also Mollema will do well imo

Interesting to see Aru & Purito ..see how their form is and of course Landa who must show something

It's not that hard from this side; can't see anyone get enough of a gap and then staying away along the flat to Elgoibar. The other side from Eibar is harder - it's basically the same climb as Arrate.

 

[HelloDolly]

Two other riders who may go well in the wet are Spilak & Rui Costa

And maybe Kreuziger who also will need to start showing some form

 

[Txrt]

I'm in Ixua now.
