La Vuelta 2025 ***SPOILERS***

[No Ta Doctor]

I'm still in the pub from watching Arsenal spank Forest, it's interesting to read this thread and try and workout wtf is happening 😂
Some Palestine stuff, Vingegaard gets some time (a win?) Pidcock holds off Hindley and the white jersey went the wrong way is what I think happened

Yes, vingegaard won & put 22s into Almeida (5th)
Hindley (3rd) put only 5s into Pidders (4th)
Kuss was 2nd

Watch you don't get a nose bleed up there .....it won't last 😁

Træen spotters update. He has held on to his top 10 spot. (Still 9th)

TBH things would have had to have gone incredibly badly for him to have dropped out of the top 10. But they didn't

We're used to being there or thereabouts, no need for acclimitisation 😁

The Vuelta goes past the end of my road tomorrow...the one with our hotel on, anyway.

Bit like Jonas, I am looking forward to adding to my TdF palmares with some Vuelta caravan tat!

Right then, I know the resulT and the GC effect, but where should I watch from? Bottom of the last climb? Or is there something interesting/important before thAT?

Thereabouts, not THERE!
North London Trophy Dodgers!

Yeah, it's been a while since we landed a league trophy, but the history books won't look kindly on Man Citeh and Chelski.
Struggling to remember much silverware headed to Dorset though, a prettiest village or most "complicated" family tree maybe?

Oooooo. Burn. 😉

I don't know where Notadoctor grew up so that's a bit unfair.
However, in a proper sport, my local pro team won a treble last season

Last 500m if you’ve got nothing better to do. It was another dud stage to round off a dud GC race. The most interesting part of the race happened before they reached Spain.

I think West Ham should be his local team or maybe Leyton Orient

Did you have to do that?

I avoid teh football thread until after MoTD on Saturday, we shouldn't be getting football spoilers in other threads

There's a clue to where I grew up in my signature.

Egg-chasing is OK, at international level. But I doubt 1 in 10 could tell you what the three trophies in your treble are, or indeed name which club it is (I Googled it).

Other than that, Bath is in Somerset, not Dorset, isn't it? And it's a good job they're good at Rugby because their football team is non-league - throughout it's 136 year history (thank you Wikipedia). Nice little stadium for the rugby, is it 18K yet? Our women's team played in front of 36k in their first home match against the London City Lionesses, they've sold out the Emirates at 60K several times for bigger matches.

Dorset is nice, though. I can imagine retiring to a little Hobbit-hole there
