San Luis stage 6 Preview+LIVE(ish)
Stage 6 is here and things started to get the shape of how they are going to look by the end of the Tour de San Luis. What you got no idea again of what I am talking about? Well let me show you the GC standing that might clarified some:
| 1. | LEIPHEIMER Levi | OPQ | ||

| 20. | NARG |
00:08:27 |
Now that we know where everyone is standing lets take a look at how stage 6 will look like.
I can't see many changes happening after this stage, hey but never knows..! Things can change for many different reasons..! Maybe a strong break away form and stays away all the way with "El LOco Guevara" guiding them along the hills of San Luis.
Is going to be a loooooong stage for this time of the year.... 201 Kms of race and great landscapes (too bad we can't see them all) I will try to keep finding pictures of them as they come alone.
At least we don't have to wait long for the first intermediate sprint will take place at the 34 km mark, so break away should be form already. This is the first 3 guys fighting for the sprinters jersey.
1) Guevara Emmanuel (San Luis) 9 puntos |
| 2) Avila Edwin (Col) 8 puntos |
| 3) Arango Juan Esteban (Col) 5 puntos |
After that we will have the first KOM points given away when they reach the first climb of today's stage Cat 3 climb "El Embalse" not all that long, but enough to warm up for the one coming after.
2ND climb of the day is here..! Is a Cat 1at the 54 km mark (more KOM points)"El Amago" is here with his almost 10 km of uphill... Nice is it?
Now we will be waiting for a while for some action, the next thing coming up is like 100 km away when we reach the next intermediate sprint at Plaza de San Martin this is at the 166 km mark. By now you should know a few more words in Spanish or Castellano.
Then we get to the final climb of the day..!!! A cat 3 named "Cantana" here is 170 km of race that are done..! 31 to go and a big nice downhill where most likely nothing is going to happen or it will???
Most likely is going to finish in a bunch sprint but I do hope for the break away to stay away and change everything around in the GC classification...!
Start times for today? Argentina 12 pm, USA East Coast time 10 am, Europe 4 pm and Australia adds 14 hours to Argentina and you get it..!
Enjoy San Luis and Argentina...!

Is there a live feed up anywhere?
I was in Argentina a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed the bife chorizo, really hated the motochorros.
Hey I try to keep up with the race...
food is great in Argentina..! And we have bad people too…

Motochorros=people in motorcycles grabbing whatever they can as they go by.

Hi Pablo and 2thvet
Good work with the thread Pablo!
It is a long stage today; I will drop in again later. I’ve got to get some things done today; I’ve been in bed for most of 2 days with a viscious cold and now have to catch up. I still don’t feel like doing much!

But my spanish is not strong—and has gotten worse since I no longer use it

I'm in your same boat.
I spent 2 years in Uruguay as a missionary for my church and came back dreaming in spanish. Problem is, I came back in 1985 and haven’t really used it much since then. The basics are there but the vocab is weak and I’m not up to speed. And these guys very definitely are UP to SPEED!!!!!
I’m pretty much convinced that you’re all batshit insane there. ~gavia~
But I would think that you being in TX would use it a little... Or not?
Strava...? We are going for the TOP 10 this year...! Are you going to be part of something great or not?
I have, a little, but I'm up in the panhandle about as far from Mexico as I can get.
Sorry for the delay, had to do surgery on a dog and handle several sick animal patients. Just got back to the computer. I’m pushing now to relearn some of my spanish. Hope to improve a bunch by summer.

I picked mine up while living in San Diego
Needed it at work - so my vocabulary was geared mostly toward work situations-and I left SD in 1992. Have had very few occasions to use it since. I try to read the spanish on instructions, boxes etc to keep a little, but it doesn’t help that much with understanding spoken words

There is lots of hispanic people in IN... Right?
Strava...? We are going for the TOP 10 this year...! Are you going to be part of something great or not?
Ohio, actually
Yes, the population is growing, but has slowed some I think since there is less construction work. Many contractors have tended to use immigrant labor in recent years (too many I think, but that is a topic for elseiwhere probably)
Still not that visible where I work, encounters are few and far between

it is a problem in the construction trades because they aren’t paid the going wage, poor living conditions etc

I’m English.
