VUELTA A ESPANA Quintana finishes 2min 16sec down on Froome, so his overall lead is cut to 1min 21sec.
Probably still not enough to win the Vuelta... Quintana wont let him out of his sight, Froome's only hope is that he's cooked himself by trying to limit the damage created from the Time Trial today
Movistar will smash the granny out of it, just like sky do for Froome at the tour. Froome will take 20 seconds max. The interesting battle will be Contador, Chaves, Yates and Talansky. Think Chaves will get third because Orica have a much better team 5han Tinkoff
Stage 20 looks quite something. Not been used for four years, 117.5 km, with Alto de l'Angliri 12.5km with 9.8% average gradient and 23.5% steepest section!
Just caught up with yesterday's highlights. Fairly bland stage for the Vuelta, Froome retained the red jersey and the Yates brothers both in the top ten.

This, they must have struggled with those hi-lights to fill an hour, total bore fest.
Froome attacked towards the end of todays stage and gained a further 17secs on the rest of the pack
Looks like the Vuelta could finally be his this year... Wonder if he'll ever attempt the Giro d'Italia, he's only done it twice with the last being in 2010 (got DSQ'd)

Dont these guys start 3mins apart so just imagine if Froome was to somehow get Quintana in his sights
Its Sunday that'll be uncontested
Means he'll be 1min 50secs behind him in the GC if my dodgy maths is correct
Only just realised that Quintana is of course behind him isnt he!!

Could be interesting tomorrow though think Quintana will win.
Froome was awesome.
Gutted to miss tomorrow's mountain stage as Sky, Orica and Tinkoff are all going to go full out on Movistar.
If you see me tomorrow, please don't tell me what's happened, I'm going to try to catch up on Sunday evening.

Great finish by Nibali.
Froome looks impressive. Provided he can avoid crashes and mechanicals (although he had one today) I can see him doing this.
Today's stage looks more interesting.
Will catch up with today's highlights later tonight.
