Vuelta


Vuelta stage 16

Afternoon all! They're 30km in, 2 of my guys already tried to get away but its back together at the mo I think.

I just swapped Seeldraeyers for Henao - couldn't cope if I dropped anyone else and they got in a break...

J-Rod
Valverde
Contador
Henao
Bouet
Sarmiento
De La Fuente
Astarloza
Machado

Vuelta stage 6

What's going to happen today then?? Is a last 4km at an average 8% (I think thats what I read but might be wrong) going to be enough to cause any changes to GC? Will a break get away? Will a classics rider like Ballan be able to stay with the proper climbers, or are we looking no further than J-Rod, Contador, Froome and Valverde?? Is that really Gilbert riding for BMC this season or has it been Sohrabi all along wearing one of those Mission Impossible-style rubberised masks??

My hot tip today? Bakelants. But my hot tips rarely do anything.
