They're a bit late with their news, I posted about there being changes on Wednesday...

There have been recent changes to the Vuelta route, including making the ITT shorter. So they obviously read on here that I thought it was too long

I vow to follow La vuelta this time, being very very guilty of only ever really watching Le tour. I'd like to see some more of Spain, having never been there despite speaking a decent amount of Spanish. I'll be reliant on watching ITV4's highlights on catch-up though.

Get yourself Eurosport and watch the whole thing - the Vuelta's been an excellent tour the past couple of years.

and there's more!

Can this thread be renamed "La Vuelta - Don't make me Angliru, you wouldn't like me when I'm Angliru?"

The Angliru should be a doddle after Los Machucos on stage 17...

Brailsford has probably got Team Sky running up hills with their bikes over their shoulders - just in case. Seriously though, I can see some riders doing this.
