La Vuelta 2016 **SPOILERS**

[Crackle]

Froome made up a good gap there, gaps Quintana and Contador who was a long way back.

 

[brommers]

Wow! what a climb that was!

 

[perplexed]

I haven't actually managed to see any of the Vuelta thus far this year, but I did catch a glimpse of a still of Quintana out of the saddle behind Froome...

Here we go with the highlights. Not quite the same as watching live.

I've come across a problem today. How to watch & discuss the highlights without reading all the spoilers those who've been on Eurosport, ProCycling Live etc. during the day have posted. The solution seems to be don't discuss or post from a much earlier page

I've ignored today's posts but took a chance on yours since you quoted me. I'm going to open the thread when the highlights show begins and hope I can read any posts in conjunction with the action onscreen. It worked yesterday as nobody had posted anything!

That was typically brutal for the Vuelta.
I confess to knowing nothing about Ruben Fernandez

Is Gary presenting this from his cellar?

For a moment then I thought that Quintana was back on form but seemingly not.

I don't think such a climb suits Quintana or a few others, so I wouldn't read too much into it yet.

ITV4 can't afford to actually send people to the race, so Boulting and Millar get to watch it on TV as we do, but from the luxury of a small room the real ITV people forgot about.

I thought he was meant to be the guy who likes going up mountains?!

I was too worried about inadvertently seeing the result to risk looking.

I didn't read it in the end. Too confusing. We need a thread for the highlights and one for the live action!

I nearly started one! Perhaps I'll risk confusion & moderator wrath and do it tomorrow.

I get why it's not on TV but they could at least show it on the internet since they're already paying the commentators.
