That will be hard. We need to go close to 3000

Stelvio-Valmartello 2014

Roads are WET! The hype is real. Windy AF too, Flecha's umbrella could break any second.

I'm too lazy. I replied one post above with two stages. Use the search facility if you don't believe me

Usually when there is this much hype before the stage. Nothing happens.

When there is no hype and everything thinks it will suck, then the stage explodes.
So my expections are low, because the hype is high

Re: Re:

How is the weather???

Cold, but supposedly less rain than previously predicted

f*ck

Always amazes me how, during an activity as dangerous as flying down 10% gradients at 90 kph on 2 bits of 27mm wide rubber, people would like to see it made an even more dangerous spectacle by having it done with virtually no traction, just for their own viewing pleasure. It's part of cycling, I get that, but it just seems as blood thirsty as boxing fans wanting to see one guy carried out on a stretcher. Weird.

I'm hoping it stays dry, everyone gets down safe and it's a great race anyway.

Why?
Raining means Contador chances doubled: stage win from 1 to 2%, overall from 0.1 to 0.2 %.

Anyone got a link to a stream please ...my ES connecton is down

Re:

try Tiz

EDIT:I don't know, is it allowed to link to that, or only to "official" streams?

 

[portugal11]

Dave brailsford is in shape.

I'd be more worried about your boy than about mine, guy.

 

[jsem94]

HAHHA. Flecha meets Brailsford on the recon, on the last downhill to the finish: "DO THE FROOMEY" and sits on the top tube.

Looks like a girl had to be rescued in Angliru (I don't know what happened):

From the Vuelta clip posted earlier it seems the wind blows East to West. During the final climb that is upwind! They might break Heras record!
