I think Villella can be a bit of a greyish horse, but my hopes are on Nordhaug. Since it's a short stage, there might be some though riding, I think a fair number of riders will be peeled off at Baddereidet if the pace is high enough.
By the way, what do you think about this "Viking Jersey" where people vote to decide who gets to wear it? I don't know if it's been done before, but seems like a fun gimmick, but not much more.

There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"
www.radsport-news... is regularly having cyclist diaries of smaller teams/races.
It`s in German but should be understandable with the google translator I guess.
Yannick Mayer (Team Bike Aid) is at the moment writing daily reports from the Vuelta a Colombia and it`s quite interesting as it`s from a view you usually don`t see in the TV. He is having the red lantern and so it`s a lot about the pain on the climbs and the chaotic riding in comparison to European races. Also lots of nice extra stuff like personal things and experiences in the rider zone. (Botero, Cardenas etc.)
If you scroll down below the report you will have more links from 8.8 - 16.8. with the reports of the next days. As the race is not over yet, some more should come.
Final day of TT of 12 kms at Vuelta Burgos tomorrow. Though Quintana and Moreno are separated by just 1sec, Quintana should win, they are more than 30sec ahead of rest. Brajkovic only good TTlist in top 10 but his form and motivation nowadays is questionable.
Edit- Moreno got 1sec back and now leads GC but with same time as Quintana.
