So we got a nice few kilometres with awesome riders like Pozzo, Poldi and Moreno. But then, Roche wins. Biggest anti-climax in a long time for me...
Looking forward to tomorrow.

Okay, I know it's just the first mtf and it's probably too early to draw conclusions, but I couldn't help but wonder why people keep claiming that Henao is a better GC-rider than Uran. Unless he has some illness/injury I don't know the existance of.
Luckily I felt something like this would happen so I have both Uran and Henao in my velogames. Since the Giro I don't want to chose between those two  |

How come? Everyone doesn't have to like him just because you do

I admit, I was surprised by today's collapse. I'll wait for a statement from him or Sky before making a judgement, though. Could be related to something we're not aware of.

Van Rensburg is suddenly 173th on more than 9 minutes. |

Probably something, as it was Barguil the Argos rider. |

They were both in GC-group at one moment according to pcs. Probably a mistake indeed. I'm also impressed by Serry, he climbs better than I thought he would, also finished with the first 5 in the TTT. |

Pretty impressive by Barguil there. Wonder if he goes for the GC, and if so, if he can get a Top 20.

Tomorrow it should be a nice day. Probably Purito and Valverde will take the lead in the final kilometer. |

My bet for tomorrow is Meersman.
Don't think the favourites will do a lot tomorrow, the hill is pretty small.

I said what i said, but I'll be rooting for Gilbert and Anton, if he doesn't fall behind. |

Tomorrow i expect Ulissi, Gilbert and Meersman. The fight imo will be between these guys. |

Tomorrow? Gilbert if he doesn't have troubles with his knee anymore maybe, Valverde is the most likely imo. |

Already 2 minutes slower than the second worst guy |

Won't finish Vuelta. Sanchez is the only Belkin-rider I have high expectations from this vuelta. |

He was injured at some point during the first part of the season, so he's probably fresher now.
Still, I doubt he'll give a shot at the GC this year, it's only his first GC. |

That's true, but there's no pressure at all at Argos now, so why not give it a shot?

What a disappointing year for Henao from April onwards. Really tought he could forget about the Giro, but it seems like we're about to watch the same movie.
At least I dropped Samu from my velogames team right on time... Santaromita is looking good too, not everything is bad. |
