Tomorrow's another day for the sprinters.

 

Check out this interesting profile for the 40 km TT on Wednesday.

It brings Rodriquez into play more.

At 20.5 k's they even show a knife and fork for the steak feeding zone.

Degenkolb kicks more azzz with a 4th stage win.

Wonder whether some of the more high-profile teams will chase for his signature for next season.

So big stage today, possibly one of the more deciding stages, who will take it.?

 

My feeling is Tony Martin will take the stage, and Chris will take the jersey, could be good for his morale as well and he should keep it quite easily until the big mountain stage on Saturday, when he will almost certainly be tested. If he can hold the Jersey past Monday, I think he will hold on to Madrid, certainly both he and Sky are going to be hard nuts to crack.

You funny.

'Berto is not that bad. He is just a cocky Spaniard who loves a good steak.

There is a technical climb on the TT which makes it a bit tricky for the normal suspects.

 

It's actually a Cat 3 climb.

Will be good for Purito who really wants to get to the top spot after his narrow loss to Hesjedal in the GIro.

It will neutralize Froome Dog and 'Berto a bit, me think.

You forgot to add that he also got off lucky with a "suspended" ban.

We will have to wait and see if Berto has what it takes at his three course meal today.

Starters begins with sautéed steak Valboa, at the main course he will take on board steak Busto (seared) and finish this off with steak Campaño dumpling surprise.

Yeah, that retro-active ban was a funny twist of consequences.

Another lil' mess by the decision-makers.
