La Vuelta 2026 ***Spoilers***

All calm now.

Van Aert takes 4", so it's 11" to Ethan and Van Aert needs a gap as well as the stage win to take red.
But.... Pog could obviously take it

Do you not fancy a stage win for a certain Mr Pedersen?

Yes, I want to see a good fight between Van Aert and Mads P. I'd happy for either of them to win today. Probably a bit more Mads, because I think Van Aert has more opportunities. Wouldn't be upset with Cort either, and would be overjoyed with Kron

But both Mads and Wout were targeting this stage to get the red, they just didn't get quite close enough in the TT and failed to catch Hayter before the intermediate. They done did f*** up.

It would be so sensible for pog to let it go but pog etc

Hayter will gift the opportunity at least.
His love of riding at the back will be his downfall.

I don’t want Mads to win, I don’t think Pog can. An obscure underdog would be good, like a little French man riding Campagnolo.

Ticker?

Ticker?

16.9km

Hayter seems determined to risk undoing his hard work by sitting in his usual spot at the back of the bunch. Why is he so scared to hold a position? It feels like a major flaw in a pro cyclist and weird for someone from a track background

 

[Blazing Saddles]

The charge begins

 

[Dogtrousers]

7k to go

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Pogacâr right at the front

 

[mididoctors]

Strangely messy

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Spanish camera work remains as wobbly as ever.

Ho hum here I come
