Vuelta 2014: Favourites stage 10 - Is it Tony Martin-time, Spartacus?

The stage 10 recipe is a simple one: a 10.8 kilometres climb and in the remainder of the race it's (mainly) going down. Who's going to set his bike on fire with amazind top speeds? (Slideshow route/profile)

'Der Tony' is in a class of his own in time trials. World champion in the discipline three times in a row, but he did not manage to win the time trial in the 2013 Vuelta. Fabian Cancellara outpowered him by 37 seconds after more or less the same distance as today.

Being the beste GC time trialist Chris Froome is up for gaining some time in the overall. It will be interesting to watch Rigoberto Uran. In the recent Giro he blasted his win to pink in a strong IT.

Bob Jungels and Wilco Kelderman are talented time trialists of the younger generation, however it may be too early for them to really shine today.
