I don't know. Moncoutie and Hoogerland still have 1'50 with less than 10k to go

Not good Fuglsang. I hope it's because of the crash.

The climb isn't even on the "real mountain" part. That's just the last 6.6kms

Yes, but that is very instant and simultaneous. They would have all spent the night doing badly.

I don't understand why everyone says that this is a climb for Valverde, can anyone explain that?
I mean, the climb is ca 20km long, and it's a really hard final 6.6 km. Does that suit Valverde?

Break is about to reach the real climbing part, finally. Hope we see an exciting stage

That was doping gone horribly wrong. Like the "but we didn't serve fish" case in 1962

the fact that none of the big name riders are likely to attack (and therefore a group of 15-25 riders or so will come to the line together) makes Valverde the favorite. He's got the best finishing kick.

He won at Courchevel ahead of Armstrong, Mancebo and Rasmussen in 2005. That one's even longer.

Finally, they're on the steep parts. Look how much slower they're going. And Marchante attacks!

It's strecthing it a bit - but you have Andy out of the race, Frank being dropped when really he shouldn't, and Fabian not being able to follow on climbs he's proved he can ride.

Frank's injured and out of shape, Cancellara has never ridden with a peloton this small on a climb like this.
