more undulating than hilly today - a mass sprint ? but who is there who can sprint/ Ben Swift must fancy this one , or Degenkolb perhaps?

    Commentator also mentioned Kittel and Bos - these riders arent racing. Maybe he was just using them as examples...not clear.

    The CN guy on the live ticker reckons that its 41! Certainly very warm.

    3 away in the break, 3 mins 30 and 70km to go-looking like a bunch sprint (although the class of sprinter here is decidedly average for a GT)

    Yeah I've just turned on eurosport and they're listed to show the Vuelta.. but they're showing Vattenfall.

    They rode slow enough for it to go over schedule. Only 12km to go in Vattenfall

    Coverage of Vuelta won't begin until Vattenfall is finished. 7 km to go and at the speed they've been going all afternoon it will be another hour :lol:

    Is there a reason why the Vuelta isn't later in the year?

    Most pros start to think about beaches in the Caribbean and ex-pros' daughters towards September/October.

    Swift forced to go too early there.

    What was that bike doing? For a race part owned by ASO the Vuelta really is amateur in some respects.

    Good sprint from Degenkolb. Swifty found himself in front a tad too early. Otherwise I think he had the speed to take it.
