Anyone else paying attention to the Vuelta? Catch yesterdays finish? Wow, that was brutal.
The best replay of the final kms I've found is a Spanish broadcast. The winner nearly trackstands at the steeper sections in the last 200 m and Contador and Rodriguez duke it out again.
The steepest extended bit (~3/4 mile) of road I've ridden up, on my road bike, was around 20% and I was totally doing the paperboy by the end after riding only 20 miles prior (compared to 100+ for these guys before they hit the final climb).

I love climbing.....but my knees hurt just watching that!

I'm following , today was awesome , Contador did what he should. Way more thrilling than the tour de france .

Yep that was a steep finish yesterday , those legs must have been burning like hell. We have alot of shorter steep climbs like that one here in Belgium , from 20% to 26% onroad , some steepe offroad too. I love it

Would've loved to have seen today's race! Found a couple good write ups but no video of the actual winning move-just the last 25 km or so.
