Med - mountain stage today
Profiles/stage preview vvvvv
A tricky day on which anything could happen. The climbing is all backloaded into the second half for the stage before the last ‘wall’ finish of the race
The first 40 kilometres hug the north-west coast near Santander and they are all on rolling roads. The first 5 km are uncategorised uphill and then they loop through Pechón and Pesués and head inland.
The road heads south past Abanillas and Labarces before they hit the feed zone at Cabezón de la Sal.
They then hit the first of four categorised climbs here, The Collada de Carmona, 4.8 kilometres at 7.2%, and they then descent straight into the Collada de Ozalba, which is 6 kilometres long at 6.6%.
That’s not the end of it because it’s straight into the intermediate sprint at Sobrelapeña, a 7 kilometre-long climb at 6%, and then they descend before a 15km run to the finish.
.
Finish
Actually, rises for a good amount of time until the final categorised climb and the finish, the Santo Toribio de Liébana. It’s listed as 3.2km at 6.4, but the last 2.2km is listed as 9%, so it’s similar to the earlier finishes we’ve had.
Race contenders
This is classic breakaway material. We know who’s likely to be strong enough to get away now and previous escapees have form. Astana’s Alexey Lutsenko has ridden strongly all race and was strongest on a similar finish to Alecossebre on Stage 5 when Marc Soler finished strongly.
Julian Alaphilippe used the breakaway to take the victory on the Xorret de Cati when he beat Rafal Majka and Jan Polanc, who has gotten into a number of escapes for UAE Team Emirates.
Matej Mohoric has shown his talents already by winning Stage 7 and is another choice for the Emirati team whilst Alexis Gougeard could be a card for AG2R to play along with Tobias Ludvigsson. Thomas de Gendt and Alessandro De Marchi are others.

what is his endgame?
King of Chillis
god i hate spics
I hope Chile doesn't make it not because I'm Peruvian but because I hate Vidal with every fiber of my being.
I have no issue with Chile making it as long as that walking cesspool of human garbage known as Arturo Vidal isn't there.
But I'd bet you he'd drunk-drive through the Stadium wall to be there anyway.
REALLY makes you think.

He's kinda overpriced, but really really good. 2bh I've seldom seen this perfect touch, placement, or finishing in any other player.
His price tag was set compared to Nerman (he's worth less) and guys like Higuain or Lukaky (he's worth more)

>Football economy
>Overpriced
Pick one
France and Brazil are the only countries that have won EVERY trophy possible, including
>World Cup
>Confed Cup
>Olympic Games
>Euro or Copa América
>U20 and U17 World Cups
If your country didn't win each one of these trophies, you're not qualified to talk about football.
U20 is a meme competition
>>78096681
Why don't you win it, then?
Not so fast, Pierre João
Home Championships:
England: 54
Scotland: 41
Brazil: 0
France: 0

At what point is anyone else in the team going to be held accountable besides Messi getting shit on all the time?

when messi retires, they'll find a new scapegoat

#RESPECT
>>78095883
everyone in that team is held accountable for their shitty level of play, including their captain, especially their captain.
