Re:

Great win for Landa

Kwia's tactical move ended up not working but he might have lost less time with it then he would have lost if he started the last climb with the favourites.

But then it did work?

 

[AlexNYC]

Wow, watch out for Spilak tomorrow... He might take it all with a good TT

 

[Poursuivant]

Spilak FTW?

Re:

One of the best stages I have seen this year, would hate to do that climb in the wet though

According to weather forecast there is a chance for rain for tomorrow.

Kind of. Not the way he wanted but he was still better off with this decision.

Re:

Better than Catalan though

 

[Netserk]

Great ride by Kwiatkowski.

Will be interesting to see who will win the TT tomorrow. I guess Purito could top-5 it.

Great win for Landa. Wellens will be a beast in Ardennes. Yates impressive.

And by the way, I wouldn't be suprised if Simon Spilak wins this race

Yes, thats true

Don't underestimate Rodriguez on a ITT like this.

Purito? Henao is a better tt'er and has been at least as good as Purito uphill.

Im thinking Spilak is a dark horse for the overall now.

 

[Gloin22]

Spilak 2nd up Eze. He's looking strong now, Katusha could do 1-2 in GC and considering what they are doing it's very possible

 

[Parrulo]

Tomorrow's itt is pretty weird.

I won't even bother making a prediction xD

I checked 'Aia weather' on google and there is 40% chance of rain according to them

What a ride from Mollema. Tough as teak

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

The TT tomorrow is very unpredictable, like always in País Vasco. I still remember that crazy ITT where Samu won purely because of his superior bike handling skills, Mollema got 2nd because he rode fearless and took risks and Martin got 3rd because he's the best TTer in the world.

Purito is actually quite good at these types of TT's, but so are Henao and Quintana. Will be very exciting. Kathusha will be praying for rain methinks, because that would suit both Purito and Spilak

He's definitely one of the favorites. I forget that the new normal is for 36 year-olds to fight it out with the young guns

The reason a mentioned Spilak is that he's been flying under the radar and he could surprise a few people.

Make it 1-2-3,you forgot Zakarin,he's the ITT specialist

Everybody is a better TTer than Rodriguez!

Lol, check your facts. There are only three TT'es where they both were in good form and rode for a GC. Purito rode two faster, and they rode a equal time in the other TT

Giro 2012 last TT - Purito 26th/Henao 30th, difference + 15 seconds
Tirreno 2013 last TT - Henao 33th/Purito 35th - same time
Pais Vasco 2012, last TT - Purito 6th/Henao 32th, difference + 53 seconds

Re:

I agree. We missed the action between the favourites on the last climb. They should have had one moto camera on the main group. I know the roads were narrow and all, but still. There were other mistakes as well.

If so, it would be horrible up those climbs tomorrow in the TT.

Who thinks Road bikes will be used tomorrow? I certainly do.
