The profile of the 9th stage bears a strong resemblence to the bottom row of teeth of a Great White shark (Porkers? Mr. Hooper..). 206 kms from A Fonsagrada to Alto de la Cobertoria. Along the way the riders will be smacked in the mouth with an early Cat 3 climb, then two Cat 1's another Cat 3 a Categoria Especial (HC) and the finishing Cat 1 (9km at 8.5% to Alto de la Cobertoria). GC shakeup today? Gee, maybe just a bit. This is an open thread. Put on a pot of coffee, maybe warm up last night's paella and blog away. This should be fun. And Chris thought we needed the Pyranees...
