I’m so looking forward to today. Hard to see anything but a pure GC shakeup, possibly with GC-rider attacks on one of the two early climbs.
I’m not sure who it will be, but I predict the winner today wins the Vuelta.
Hmm, a decent prediction for the day, but I think I now predict that this overall prediction is wrong.
Kuss must now be favourite to win overall. Hard to see Roglic or Vingegaard attacking to take it off him, and he looks stronger than anyone else. (As well as having a tidy advantage.)
Still plenty of racing to go, and it is far from a certainty, bpt it seems the most likely scenario.
You know it’s been a hard stage when 26th place is over 22 minutes down!
What a race! Will post more tomorrow to avoid spoilers. Such a wonderful and emotional post race interview.
The killer bees certainly loved up to their nickname…swarming he podium on this stage!
