They're all filth.

Just take it in turns to be on it for a particular day.

Filth?

I wonder if Froome doesnt like the really steep steep stages? His loses on wednesday was on a freakishly steep ascent and likewise the day he (briefly) lost the yellow jersey in tdf was on a silly steep finish.

Contador is finishing his career with an epic effort. Hats off to him for saying f it lets have some fun for the last week or so...

Tomorrow is going to be epic. Contador to light everyone's asses, Nibali likes this climb too. No more hiding behind team mates tomorrow. Rain forecast too.

Going to be some sore legs at the end of the stage Froome indicating he took things easy as he could yesterday.
Just 80 miles today so no time to settle in its going to be fireworks from the start.

Nibali exploded on this one in 2013?

Froome actually looked alright on this one in 2011. But not sure he's the same rider these days in that respect.

Final 6km avg 15% - not for me.

[johnxjsc1985]

Raining quite heavy a few attacks off the front its going to be a epic stage.

[Dr Imran T]

Wow, looks tough today. Contador on good form, I hope he gets the stage win.

[johnxjsc1985]

On the final climb now Nibali has been on the ground but back in the group now.

[johnxjsc1985]

Contrador on the attack now 40 seconds on Froome who will be happy for him to challenge for the podium

[johnxjsc1985]

just 4k to go for Contrador and a perfect ending.

[Dr Imran T]

I'm certainly rooting for contador☺ looks to be on course for the win.

[okgo]

So boring.

[johnxjsc1985]

Nibali dropped by Froome I am sure that must be a relief for Froome only going one way now

[johnxjsc1985]

Contrador Wins!!! not a bad way to go out

[mcelliott]

The Boss.

[johnxjsc1985]

Contrador just 20 seconds from a Podium finish . Froome doing the double is quite an achievement and coming into the TDF a bi undercooked seems to have been well planned

[spikeyhead]

A fitting finale for Bertie and an amazing Vuelta for Froome

[Dr Imran T]

Amazing achievement by froome to win the double. The way he planned his season worked a treat. Came in to super form when he needed to. Class act he is!

Got to love the vuelta, always comes up trumps for epic battles!

[okgo]

Really needed Tom D this race.
