deanbean Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 I have been marveling mostly at the incredible scenery the tour goes through, those little towns perched on the very edges of sheer cliff faces, the beautiful lakes and ancient buildings.....so much history to see. Its been a while since I was last in Spain, but even then, like most I was in the cities, I would love to spend some time out in these areas and just wonder around these beautiful ancient towns and buildings. I spent a week hitch-hiking down the coast from above Barcelona to somewhere below Valencia. Rugged and beautiful. Sometimes reminded me of our West Coast.

Bonus Posted August 30, 2017 Author Posted August 30, 2017 Would love to see Louis pull a rabbit out of the hat on one of these climbs!
Oxter Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 It is on! 12:31 The flag has been dropped under the rain (18°C).
Oxter Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 the breakaway: Bob Jungels (Quick-Step Floors), Alessandro De Marchi (BMC), Antonio Pedrero (Movistar), Lennard Hofstede (Sunweb), Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale), Simon Clarke (Cannondale-Drapac), Antwan Tolhoek (LottoNL-Jumbo), Matej Mohoric (UAE Team Emirates), Sander Armée (Lotto Soudal), Giovanni Visconti (Bahrain-Merida), Igor Anton (Dimension Data), David Arroyo (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), Conor Dunne (Aqua Blue Sport), Aldemar Reyes (Manzana Postobon) with Igor Anton only 5min54sec behind CF, i do not think they will let the break go to far. He might even be forced out of the break.

HappyMartin Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 The descent after this climb is going to be a bit emotional I think. Wet roads and guys trying to gap each other.
