Calm down guys. Circuit around Zakopane is stage 6, now is stage 5 and i know that as brutal climb (toughest in Slovakia probably,shame they dont use gravel roads), which does not mean it is brutal climb for WT level.

@Cossack: isn't Paterski a strong puncheur?
Quite a good one, but not strong enough to pull a move alone. If there would be 2-3 such guys, they could cooperate.
Anyway as we see breakaway is already torn apart and the last climb will be a possible GC show.

Sorry then. Riders are doing the race and we are still on the penultimate time they climb it. I also thought that they will use gravel roads higher up the mountain...
You have to realize we are in central Europe , not Alps. Edited by Avin Wargunnson on 07-08-2014 16:53
I have seriously never heard such a retarded commentator as him on the danish Eurosport, holy crap. So glad that TV2 broadcasts from all the Grand Tours, this is unsustainable
Couldn't agree, he is so terrible! No passion in his voice, very boring voice, bad pronunciation, poor knowledge etc...

Right over the top of Benat Intxausti, who possibly came second, or it could have been Izagirre. Movistar possibly sniped second and third.
Edit #1: Second and Third for the Basques with Intxausti second ahead of Izagirre. Sammy Sanchez managed sixth for BMC. Edited by Malkael on 07-08-2014 17:34
Majka passing rivals in the sprint like Kittel in Dublin
This is when you can see strength of Majka - climb which doesn't really favour him (not steep enough), big media pressure after his TdF, 2 GTs in legs, if he doesn't collapse in the next two days he's a sure candidate for a GC win for me.
Damn, so close for Intxausti. He looked strong towards the end of the Tour and and carrying that over to the rest of the season and hopefully a good Vuelta! Ion Izaguirre also with important bonus seconds. Both of them are good time trialists, so this looks good! And what the hell what Hesjedal doing?
Also we can see how much confidence Majka gained in TdF, last year he was also one of favourites, but rode too defensively in Trentino and that most likely costed him a possible win.
