2011 Vuelta Stage 4
Gotta love a mountain finish during the first week. One of the GC guys will probably be exposed as a pretender tomorrow. Who's your vote?

Does that mountain logo at the end mean it's an HC climb, or that it's a mountain top finish? I don't need a stupid cartoon mountain at the end to tell me that there's a mountain at the end.

that profile makes it look scary enough for a HC, anyone know sites to stream it from? or who has video recaps?

Why isnt Samuel Sanchez racing for Euskaltel? I miss him from the Tour. I guess just too much for a GC rider to do the Vuelta after the tour?

30 riders in the GC pack but they come up 11 seconds short. Inept chasing, or just fantastic riding by Sorensen?
I'm not sure. I'd think the stage 9 mountaintop finish looks more like a Cat 1 than a HC climb, and it has the same graphic.

Looks like Anton was the pretender. Nibali looked very comfortable today. I have a feeling he's the man to beat.
