This is the 39th edition of the race and the route consists of "just" 4 stages, of which only 1 is likely to have GC action.

Stage 1

Flat but the road kicks up a little at the end, 800m @5% apparently, it will eliminate some of the pure sprinters

Stage 2

Flat and again with a small hill at the end, but less difficult than on stage 1.

I read that Contador could not drop Nairo on the final climb but outpaced him on the decent.

Did anyone see live footage,

were either of them really having a full go?

 

If Nairo struggles on the downs it could really hurt him in the next few weeks.

Check footage of the climb as well as seperate footage of the downhill chase on steephill.tv.Basically Contador rode away,but only just,from Quintana down the mountain.There was no playing around,this was fullblast with Contador more of a master than Quintana..
