In Chinese numerology, the number five stands for the center. The way to a man's heart actually IS through the stomach.But at Castilla y Leon, five is the end stage.
Unless Leipheimer or one of the top contenders crashes, we know the final GC because this stage is pure sprinter's stage with a nice kick-up at the finish. Why the kick-up? Hey! You paying attention? It's Spain! So if I were a betting man, I'd look towards Cunego or J-Rod for the win. Tin Tin or Killer. Perhaps Dekker or Pfannberger. Of course I would be stupid because they are all in Italy and Alejandro Valverde is here.
In fact I could imagine the course designers asking Akejandro last winter, "Would you care to design the last stage for us?" It would be like asking Tiger Woods to design the 18th hole.
So go to Cycling Fans or Steephill for the links to the video.(Or check out in the comments the links that our secret ace in the hole, umwolverine, finds to make The Goat smile.
And have hope! E3 is on Saturday, Brabantse Pijl's on Sunday and the Jens! Invite is on both days!

It increases the advantage! In kilometer 74, Ilundai and Mollema continue escaped, with an advantage with respect to the squad of 4 minutes. A splendid time in this villa and last stage.

We had a long discussion about it while you were on a beer-run
Did your favourite rider just win Montepaschi Strade Bianch Eroica Toscana? OK then.
but babelfish is so much more amusing

When I'm riding and trying get up a big hill...
I’m usually sucking far too much wind to yell anything. So chapeau to you.
Usually it's a whimper...
…and me cussing under my breath at Mark who’s made it up and over the hill about 5 minutes before me.
Oh freddled gruntbuggly... thy micturations are to me...
Dude... why WOULDN'T Thor ride the chicken?
Km 111 The squad begins to work to reduce differences with both saved, that now are of only 1 ' 55 ''. Few doubt that we are led a Sprint by the streets of Valladolid.

VDS wise this is a great race
I have three guys here and they are all scoring points if the GC doesn’t change. Conta and Cobo already banked some stage points too.

Winner Updates
They do it right in Spain. They put the names up immediately — I’m assuming from the transponders. Even yesterday, the top 10 was up right as they crossed the line…
and shoulder pat
dont think it was intentional… they could have done 1 and 3 this way, or 2 and 3 the other way.
Valverde made that look all too easy

Valverde and Cunego are sure making it look good for the Ardennes.
And how good will it be if Valverde is in the field for Pais Vasco as Cunego is going to be there. Should make for exciting racing.
eh, nothing substantive
just being French and dropping a name to keep things edgy.
I don’t mind, of course—just finding it characteristic.
