Vuelta Stage 2: Pontevedra - Baiona. Alto Do Monte Da Groba

Good stage yesterday with some interesting results, especially with the likes of Betancur and a few other potential GC guys being dropped before the finish line, but today the real fun starts.

Flat-ish stage today with a summit finish, will the GC guys look to put down a marker, will the likes of Valverde/Rodriguez try to take some time bonuses and make up lost time on Nibali or will Astana look to get rid of the leaders jersey now and let a breakaway go?

Should be an interesting day.

The Giro is personally my favourite but the Vuelta is always fun. With the likes of Betancur losing a couple of minutes, Intxausti losing five minutes and a few other strong riders like De Gendt and Westra losing time its set up nicely for some attacking riding.

What I'm not sure of is at what point the guys possibly targeting the KoM will go on the attack. With only the 3rd cat available to the break today the jersey will go to the stage winner. The same goes for the next few days too, not many intermediate climbs on offer.

It just has to be a good day...Yesterday there were some guys with big ambitions who lost more time than they would like and so with the finish line bonuses, I cannot see a break staying away....
I cannot see Astana wanting the jersey though so if a powerful group goes it will be interesting to see who chases...
Just a great looking tour already...And to be honest the Vuelta is my favourite GT race...  1
