First time up the Antigua climb, the one they tackle just before the finish, has split the pack up a lot - it's a very very narrow and steep climb with many spectators - going to be very chaotic at the finale. Many riders got off and had to walked up the climb. |

Poljanski tearing the bunch to pieces on the Antigua climb but it seems as if they first two groups have gone back together.

Not a bad advantage for Westra.
Edit: Movistar going for it, come on Nairo!

Uuh, just joined in, glad to see the finale is around the corner. Is Antigua alike the last climb in San Sebastian, or longer?
Avin: Can only echo that. I dont think he will win today tho.. |

Then the riders descend to the key climb of the Alto de la Antigua (2.5km, 9.6%) which is a brutal wall. After an opening kilometre of 8%, it just gets steeper and steeper and the final 500m average a massive 16%.

The gap to Westra was steady at 40" but has gone down to 21" right now..
EDIT: 38" with 6,6 ks to go! The climb starts in about 1 kilometer

I love the Izaguirre brothers. What a great mom they must have had.

Movistar swamped by the Sky train, positioning will be absolutely essential here

Victory for Purito, Henao 2nd and Quintana 3rd as perhaps expected in a sprint

Would love to see how much trouble they can cause Contador in the Giro. Holy moly, I didnt expect Henao to be back this fast!
Superb ending, why I love Pais Vasco. |

Purito smart to get off the front with 500m to go. Deserved win. |

This really was a brutal climb. Even more with the narrowness due to spectators.
Henao with a big attack there.
Kwiatkowski though only 7s behind. So nothing lost yet.
Strong ride by Yates once more and two veterans still there it seems with Sanchez and Scarponi. Strong performance by both today. |

Nice wall, Purito still has his kick.
