Tarazona -Tarazona 38.8 km Timetrial
After a little R&R the GC candidates are tossed headfirst into another decisive stage, the one long-ish TT of the race. Arguably there is enough climbing yet to be done for this not to be a disaster for any "non-specialist", and it's also hilly enough to not be a climbers nightmare, but in a tight race this is an opportunity for those who have a decent TT in them.
The Spanish Inquisition condemns: Fabian Cancellara
It feels odd to pick Fabs as almost an outsider for a TT but it really feels as if there has been a powershift in Tony Martin's favor as Cancellara has down-prioritized the timetrials somewhat. Today though, with a little up and a little down, Spartacus will take the win that he can't a few weeks from now in Tuscany.
