Rodriguez after the Giro said his season was all about the Vuelta, and he's used the time since then very well. His climbing was impressive in the Giro, and his combativity, there like here winning plenty of the MTF with late surges to grab points and time bonuses, which of course saw him win the overall points classification.
Froome looks tired: short, sharp climbs ought to suit him but he looks laboured and the team looks a little unsure of how to approach these climbs. There was a the strange sight yesterday of Henao bridging with Froome several metres behind. Apparently, according to the clinic, it's 'doper's fatigue', apparrently very distinct from everyday fatigue.
Contador looks to getting better as he gets more racing into his legs. Should be a good ding-dong battle over the next week and a bit. I hope the high mountains might bring the best out of Froome
