    Tough decisions to make today, will Txurruka go in the break again?  Will the same people be racing for the win or will the slightly easier finale make for a different selection.

    My transfer decisions are basically which 2 of 3 riders do I drop for which 2 of 3 I want?

    I can either drop Fuglsang and Barguil for Ulissi and Didier or another sub 6 credit rider or I can drop Peraud and Barguil for Ulissi and Txurruka.

    I don't really want to drop Peraud and I'm worried that Txurruka pretty much has the jersey sewn up now so won't go in the break today but he's a guaranteed 10 points whatever happens.

    It’s the same finish as Stage
    It’s the same finish as Stage 3 of last year’s Vuelta. The finish is approx 2km after the KoM point. The KoM was scored then so it should probably be scored this time. I don’t really care one way or the other though. I’d just like a decision so we can all find out our scores for the day.

    Rather than being a summit
    Rather than being a summit finish, this was more of a PLUMMET finish….as Talanski and a.n.other will concur

    If the finish line is also the KOM line, then they aren’t scored, but that isn’t the case here. I don’t care either way, but it seems funny to have it as a discretionary rule when it could just be black-and-white – all KOMs count unless it is also the finish line.

    Its discretionary because every stage is different, what if the summit is 500mm before the finish line, or 1km? Surely 500m is too close to the finish, that’s practically a summit?

    Because you don’t get sprint
    Because you don’t get sprint points on a flat stage but you do in intermediate sprints, what’s the difference?

    Personally i think if its a summit finish you should get KOM points, you would if it was a mountain earlier in the stage so why not here ?

    Looking back at my palmares, and the results from that stage, I think the climb was scored. Froome took 34 fantasy points which I can only make work if he was given the 2 points for 4th over the climb. (3rd on the stage and 4th on GC for 32 + 2 for the climb)

    I’d score it too. Go on Dave, you know it makes sense!

    Why do I have the feeling that having 1-6, 13 and 15 on the stage and 1-6 and 9 on GC (with no Txuruka and 10 penalty points) will not scare anyone?
