Confirmed teams are rolling in. Landa and Kwiat both in to help Froome in the mountains, meanwhile Valverde rides his 3rd GT of the season to help Quintana peak just in time to attack. Will Froome or Quintana be strong enough to hold off a fresh Contador? Can Kruiswijk make a push for the win?

Joshua Morris
Froome confirmed leading the tour for team sky Can he do it?
Zachary Bell
Cheering for the cutest Columbian Chaves.
Even I could do it with a 32 rear cog and a compact crankset. Although nowhere near as fast as the pros.
>tfw recorded 155% gradient last week It was at a hairpin and didn't go for longer than 2 meters but it was still pretty impressive.
Angel Watson
2 years ago in Tirreno, they climbed at 30%. Half of the peloton had to walk, because it was too steep, so 17 - 25% is doable for a professional.
Here in Belgium, there's the Koppenberg on cobbles with a section of like 23%, hard, but doable.

>Which climb is this? Alto aitana, escuadron del aire, 20th stage.
Grayson Hall
Ah thats a great climb. Should be a really good stage.
Luis Smith
>It's a nobody attacks because the stage is too hard episode
Nathan King
i've played through the vuelta in pro cycling manager and it's absolutely mental
vuelta going hard for shorter rides with more elevation
Colton Walker
I have it on good authority that Quintana is going to profit from all these mountains to place attack after attack
