it's the first mountain stage...it'll all likely stay together till just before the finish. Everyone's afraid, etc. Normal in every GT

22,45km
The action should only happen on the "real" climb. the last 6.6km at 8.1% average

It's foggy at the top of Aitana, it's going to be great broadcasting if they can manage to do good pictures in the fog.

Why do they keep giving Moncoutie these big advantages in stage like this one? He has a great shot at winning today.

because they don't think he is not GC threat..
But it is dangerous game..we all know what happened when they give Rasmussen to much time in TdF

Which is the reason Valverde most certainly will win today
Edit: Forgetting Moncoutie in that prediction obviously.

Actually I like Basso if one of the favorites win, but I hope Moucoutie or another breakaway guy holds on (so I win my other rider bet)

The break had a lead of 5'03 at the top of the penultimate climb, I think they will have problems in staying away now....

Apparently, Schleck had bad diarrhea and couldn't eat anything.

how much I has followed Vuelta previous years..they always at the front and wasting energy..who ever the tour leader is at the moment Vino, or Menchov., or Cancellara...doesnt matter..
p.s. Cancellara droped..i was hoping that he will win that GT

Cuesta goes. I don't know why, but I've come to love that guy. Maybe it's the fact that he is twice as old as all the others. Not litterarily though.
