'Dale Posted August 31, 2014 Share At the moment it's Movistar who are leading the peloton, holding the gap to the main group at 3:48. It looks like containment is the aim at the moment. Is that first group too big though? There are a few passengers in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted August 31, 2014 Share José Azevedo says: "I rode this in 2005 and I know it's a complicated climb. There will probably be lots of wind early on in the stage, which creates another difficulty. The gc riders will want to gain time on each other at the toughest finish so far."

'Dale Posted September 1, 2014 Share I'm becoming more and more of a fan of AC. It took me a while to get over the steak saga But, after supporting Froome to his 1st TdF win, I have swopped my fanfare status from "Dawg" to "Pistolero" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboli4 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Had to laugh at the commentators when Conto attacked. Something in the line of: 'El Pistolero pulled his guns and is firing away!!!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
