How long is the final climb today? The Mirador is a wall, iirc (might even be the literal translation). Should be a ten minute effort max i think?1.8km, I think. But it's savage, so yeah, on the order of 10 minutes - but I think a little less. Gorgeous scenery on the climb.
I'm getting tired of Walker and McCrossan nitpicking every crease in every skinsuit! It's like they're a living slowtwitch thread.
Mirador means "lookout", which is quite appropriate, given the scenery
Also, I'm surprised that no one here has enough command of Spanish to have corrected me :)
That is quite appropriate.
I know Roglic will go well because he isn't wearing the helmet of doom from his TdF TT.
Also, WTF are there a half dozen Vuelta threads that were created? Isn't one thread adequate to centralize discussion?
