happy for you guys who fought for this hard stages to happen over all the spanish forums
i still think nothing major will happen until the last 6 km of farrapona. until then farrapona is basically a false flat which will discourage any long range attack
an intxausti-bruseghin kind of attack might happen again but i don't expect any big gun to go before the last 6 km
It deppends the race situation, but it is a stage to give a big change in GC if someone need that and he is strong. That the important, if nothing happens no problem, but a stage like this must be in the Vuelta to give the chance.
I remember the Giro 2010, after Aquila breakaway, Basso attacking in small climbs as if were the last stage... and finally, when the Giro in his soulders, the last hard stage in domiltes. with Gavia, nothing important happens, except Vino-Sastre at the begining, and some attacks at the end...
