2016 Vuelta a España

[Gen]

Jip They are just dangling them there

[shaper]

My prediction wrong, they could catch them within 30kms and not 20kms if the want !!

Not too sure they would want to catch them too early.. if they do more attacks will go off the front.

[Gen]

They'll probably slow down a bit.

But not enough to let attacks go.

[shaper]

looks like has settled at 2' and will keep them strung off the front

[HappyMartin]

Cross winds and the Ettix rider in front in the middle of the road limiting the echelon size. Trying to force a split perhaps?

Donno if the wind is strong enough.

 

 

No can't be strong the GC teams aren't near the front

[shaper]

time still coming down

[Gen]

Wait GC teams are coming to the front.. perhaps there is a concern of wind now now

[scotty]

4 left in break hovering  1:40"

[Gen]

When they get to that bend it may get crazy.

[HappyMartin]

This wind is strong. There could be a split here.

[Gen]

They need to manage that gap well..catch them too soon and attacks go.. slow down too much and attacks will go.

[Gen]

Has Farrar done anything but give Nederburg TV time?

Not that I are ever seen.

[Bonus]

Home for the last 18km. Looks like it's been a long hot day.
