    On the day the Giro has the hardest mountain stage of the season, the Vuelta... doesn't.

    94384
    62887

    (the profile above shows the second half of the climb only)

    ...and then the final climb, easily the weakest MTF of the race.

    Right over from Italy to Spain for the final 50km of the Vuelta Stage 3. Finishing climb is not very hard, probably won't cause the splits we have seen on Stages 1&2, but we shall see. Obviously another chance for Dan to aim for a Stage win, equally so for Roglic and others!

    Most likely one for the break however!

    Break only have 1"23s though, so they are not nailed on, will make for an interesting climax.

    Break's gap coming down quite fast now, less than a minute with 31.3km to go.

    Nice to see Dan in the green jersey. This finish should suit him and he is in great form.

    All together now for the final climb! Last 1km is >9% so that's where we should see some action!

    Froome out the back already! I wonder if he will ever truly recover from his horror crash.

    That was the longest 500m gallop I've ever watched. Fantastic stuff from Dan.

    Epic day all round.
