Inner Ring preview in the link above. Seems the profile is misleading, and should all come down to a bunch sprint. Could this be Tyler's second win of the year?
I think it´s to hilly for him
Another one, like yesterday, that's difficult to judge. If a group is away and the bunch go up those hills at steady pace, it should be possible for the likes of farrar and Markus to hang on. Farrar did do well on the uphill sprint in Brussels in the Eneco. But it's still early in the Vuelta, and it could be lively on those climbs
106 Nicolas EDET COF +20:27
163 Winner ANACONA GOMEZ LAM +33:55

- Alto de Covelo, 3ª (km 79,5): 1.045 m – 19,5 km – 3,4 %
- Alto de O Canizo, np (km 105): 1.080 m – 12,2 km – 3,1 %
- Portela de A Canda, np (km 124): 1.254 m – 5,3 km – 4,1 %
- Portilla de Padornelo, 3ª (km 143): 1.340 m – 11 km – 2,6 %
Yep, more usually know as Winner Anacona. One of the Colombians just a step below Quintana, Uran, Henao and Bertancur.
It would be nice to see a break actually stay away all day, but I reckon the hungry teams in the peloton (especially those with decent sprinters) won't care to let that happen given the flatter finish today.
Potentially could reach the same step...........................if he could stop falling off!
Last year he finished 19th, 23 minutes and change down on Contador.
(Once again, would anyone know where I could catch good recap videos? Cheers.)
I think the accepted place is the cyclingtips website is it not? There's a pinned topic in the pro race forum at the top called 'where to watch' i think, it may say in there.
Edit: its actually www.Cyclingtorrents.nl
