    Not so good in the end today. How well I do will probably hinge on how many break points Durasek picked up.

    #itzulia 14km to go and gap is 42″

    Will it stick?

    EDIT: No, no it wont.

    Original break caught, Txurruka off the front, OPQS/Tinkoff leading the peloton.

    #itzulia Lead group is Durasek, Sicard, Dumoulin, Gastauer and J Izaguirre. 21.5km to go and gap is 43″

    Some strong riders in there so still got my fingers corssed that it sticks but we’ll see. Other than Durasek I was set up for a GC shoot-out so I’m happy either way.

    I think most of Ratto’s mountains points were for a breakaway stage he won in the Vuelta.

    Ratto has scored 263 points
    Ratto has scored 263 points in the last 12 months, 101 of those were on SF stages so I assume that goes a long way to classing him as a climber. Only 27 of his total points were scored on flat stages.
