    Weather not looking the best. Hope it buckets down as then Contador will excell. Lucky fans who are on the Bola today.
    Contador is the Greatest

    You didn't call it *SPOILERS* though so we can't post any spoilers in it :P

    Actually, Victor was first - by about nineteen hours. It probably wouldn't be fair to him if his thread wasn't used. So... if there's a mod around they might merge the threads and delete your OP. Or you could just delete your thread yourself. :roll:

    Speeds of over 100kph on the descent from the penultimate climb. Still Euskatel all over the front.

    The Bola del Mundo consists of two parts and will see the riders first climb the long Navacerrada climb, which has good roads and is in that sense, a normal climb. The last three kilometres, however, are where the fireworks will blow. This final section is a single track, concrete path that has ramps of 23%. Team cars won't be allowed up and team directors will jump out of the cars and on to motorbikes at this point.

    Is Rodriguez going to attack Contador today?

    Bouet, Capecchi and De Weert get a bit of a gap on the rest of the break on the lower slopes of the Bola Del Mundo. I swear I was so close to making Capecchi my PTP pick.

    The break has completely splintered already. Porte, Menchov, De Weert and Capecchi now at the front of the race.

    it'd be good to see menchov win this stage.

    IS Rodriguez going to attack?

    Might as well try but I don't think he'll get anywhere barring a huge blow up from the other two.

    Is it only me and Lichtblick watching this? I guess everyone else is in a beer garden somewhere.

    Me. A bit uneventful so far, innit.

    But now Anton attacks.

    Rodriguez is stuffed. Very slow to respond there.

    Valverde goes on a bit of a tester. Bertie on his wheel in a flash.

    Valverde went but Contador immediately followed. Didn't see Rodriguez.

    LOL at the bit of tape supposed to hold the crowds back. That'll work.

    Personally, wish they'd barrier these climbs.
