Contador is in 9th, Superman in 10th. Watch them roll up the field from behind. After today, hot podium contenders are, alongside Froome, Nibali and Kelderman. Roche and TVG lost biggly today. Does anybody know how strong the wind was on the plateau? It looked a bit like echelons on that huge gradient.

Best kind of cycling road 
Good stage ovearll. Orica shot themselves in the foot today, Chaves has lost GC hope dreams. Kelderman with a very good performance, fairly impressive... Jesleyh must have creamed himself 
I don't have words to describe the fuckin' powermeter bot anymore. Just follows that damn shit till it blows up. The day it malfuctions is the day Froome blows up in an incredible fashion. Nibali seems strong, but not strong enough to beat the Sky bots when even Moscon is suddenly a top 10 climber  |

Great ride by Woods again btw. It's a shame he's only surfaced a couple of years ago at this age.

Fairly strong apparently, from left to right. |

Someone knows how to hack Froome's powermeter?

Lopez.. so sad he had to wait for Aru earlier in the race.
Froome has the race won unless Nibali invents a miracle.
Kelderman could podium, that's hysterical. He'll fuck it up probably though. |

Good stage. Nibali only one to threaten Froome now and he will, but he was lucky with the weather today. Praying for more rainy days, then he has an actual chance of winning mano-a-mano against Froome.
Lopez did what we expected him to do, this display would come sooner than later. One class above! |

Does anybody believe here that Froome can lose this Vuelta assuming nothing unexpected (crash, puncture, ilness) happen?
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Nibali really made that stage, shame he couldn't make any time but awesome to watch him just go for it and try to unsettle Froome's tempo.

I reckon as the race goes on Nibali will come into more and more form and Froome will feel the tour in his legs more and more. Think there will be a good fight between them and I reckon Nibali has a least as equal shot if not better.

Today's mtn stage was the kind I really love with big time gaps going all the way down the finishers.

That's just some stupid crap. I have no idea why somebody would do that for no reason. They seem to think the have the moron too, wonder if it was worth it for them.
