    Depends on who attacks behind on last climb and how much energy you have .....

    Rolland Arredondo, Quintana, Pozzo ????

    Jaysus I was sure those parallel grates on the road there would bring someone down Luas-track style!

    What would Nico's chances be if he was to hang in at the front with a few kms to go?

    So there's 8km left to the top of this climb, then 30km of descent, and then they go up the final climb (12km long).

    Hondo and Frapporti being dropped off the back

    Lots of attacks coming off the peloton but it looks like OPQS will mark them.

    Maybe he reckons he can get enough of a gap on the decent?

    Nope, it's for real this time! This is not a drill. He's made a decent gap too.

    God he's sucking air! Am I imagining it, but is Nico carrying a bigger gut that last year at the Vuelta?

    Hmm only 10 second ahead of the group. A lot of effort for not a lot of time.
