Stage 9 | Cartagena - Collado de la Cruz de Caravaca (184.5 km) | Tracking & Results
Kämna completing his GT-stagewin trio, very nice. I've always been partial to Kämna ever since he was on the short-lived Stölting procontinental team alongside Mads Pedersen, Kirsch, Kamp, etc. Back then he was a TT specialist, so I was slightly suprised when he came back from his hiatus as a breakaway-climber type.
The race is beautifully poised going into the time-trial. Evenepoel, Roglic, Vingegaard and Ayuso are very close together and should all put in strong time trials. Kuss, Soler Martinez will probably drop a couple of minutes to join them.
I think Vingegaard is actually looking a bit shaky form-wise, so I worry for the TT a bit. He seems to be third in the hierarchy right now.
