IS there going to be a battle for podium places today? :?: :shock:

What does Contador have to do?

Stay on bike
Make sure Valverde doesn't take 1'52" off him and Rodriguez doesn't take 2'28"

Have I missed anything else?

(I'm assuming there are no attacks on the last day.)

    El gran dia! La Bola del Mundo!


    just a shame about the weather -> Twitter is telling me that there had been heavy rain and black clouds surround the finish.

    I want Bertie to attack and win in style.. but realistically he's just going to try and match J-rod and Valverde

    Last chance saloon, so I am expecting attacks. even if JRod is going to settle for green, he's going to need some points over AV.

    The dream scenario today would be Albertole to have a mechanical, and to be ridden past so it costs him the race.

    Nice group 8 minutes up the road. JRod promising to attack on the penultimate climb.

    Juan Jose Cobo Acebo (001) , Maxime Bouet (012) , Matteo Montaguti (016) , Carl Fredrik Wilhelm Kessiakoff (031) , Kevin SEELDRAEYERS (036) , Klaas Lodewyck (046) , David de la Fuente RASILLA ( 056) , Leonardo Fabio Duque (065) , Romain Sicard (076) , Thomas Peterson (098) , Mikhail Ignatyev (104) , Denis Menchov (106) , Denys Kostyuk (114) , Eros Capecchi (121) , Kevin De Weert ( 143) , Gert Steegmans (146) , Simon Clarke (152) , Tiago Machado (177) , Richie Porte (185) and Simon Geschke (197) .


    Moreno, Anton and some others were in between, but I'm pretty sure they're back in the peloton.

    Peleton reaches feed zone. Rain on camera lenses. Soigneurs wearing rainproofs.

    Contador's just put a rainjacket on, since it's white it's now near impossible to identify him in overhead shots.

    This is the wrong thread. There's another one on this stage.

    Sorry.

    Not sure if this is the right place but ... the run-out music that ITV4 used tonight bugged me - looked it up, Blue Boy, "Remember Me" but the version used was a cover - having searched I'm sure it is Tame Impala
