Vuelta a España Stage 11, Pamplona - Santuario de San Miguel **Unmasked Spoilers**

pajor

Final climb has a gradient of up to 14%, so another little test of form for all at the end.

I've only been to Spain once, many years ago and this stage goes right through all the places I was.

Oddschecker: Contador 5/2, Purito 11/2, Valverde 10/1, Quintana 14/1, Froome 15/1

Froome

Can a kind mod adjust that?

Quintana crashed and is out. Apologies for putting this in the wrong place.

Any information about how it happened? I sincerely hope there was no bang to the head yesterday that could have affected his judgement in any way today

Maxime Bouet, Thibaut Pinot, and Steve Morabito have all also abandoned.

Quintana has suspected broken collarbone

looked like a right mess that crash.

All my bets earlier in the year failed but my Grand Tour ones have seem to have some strange power attached where the main opposition keep crashing & abandoning.

I'll try and secure Nico next year's Vuelta when it comes around.

Peloton is breaking up with 19km to go due to Katusha working hard on the front. Gap to Kiryienka is closing quickly, should be a shoot-out between the main climbers at the end.

Spent some of my winnings on Tony Martin yesterday on Purito e/w today, could only get 9/2 though.

Ultegra

Katusha doing alot of work on the front. Lining it up for Purito?

Looks like Froome is at the back?

Froome is cooked

Pudsy33

Froome popped

Ultegra

Froome in trouble

Froome back on but really struggling

Darkglasses

Froome

Not sure what Cataldo's at

REBELSAFC

Deignan and Cataldo have burned Froome off????

Froome

I think Froome is bluffing, if he was in bits sky would have gotten Cataldo to knock off the pace.

REBELSAFC

No chance...He's too far back...Is Dan still in the group?

Strange stuff, possibly better to have your own team setting the pace than someone else? I doubt it's some kind of triple bluff, a bit risky hanging out at the back of the bunch if you don't have to.

Yep think so

Eamonnator

Yes, I think, I saw Dan in front group

Froome

Go Dan!

Eamonnator

Dan has jumped out of group.

Ultegra

go dan

Eamonnator

Froome is dropped from group

Ultegra

Froome not bluffing

Eamonnator

Dan has about 5 seconds gap

Martin looked like he was in trouble when J Rod went to go with him, hopefully nobody else tries to bridge to him.

Pudsy33

He will be moving up regardless

If i was riding beside Froome I'd be worried. The bike is a bit all over the place with him

Ultegra

Froome back in front group

Eamonnator

I think Froome may be back in what remains of pelaton.

ThisRegard

Bleedin Froome.
