Easy by Matt off a excellent leadout

Such as?

Nobody, given the result.

Nobody, given the result.

I have an irrational fear that Meeus might be a mag purely based on his name, and have an unconscious bias against him.

How many cyclists not called Pogacar or Brennan are going to win stages in this Vuelta?

How many cyclists not called Pogacar or Brennan are going to win stages in this Vuelta?

Two. At least.

Well, I think Pog's booked the next 2 and the one after that has a selective but not massive climb nearish the end so the duopoly could continue.

Beautiful eulogy from Ned Boulting to Wout VA. He is a great champion but unlike others he selflessly assists whenever asked. Today and on so many occasions e.g. the 2025 Giro for S.Yates.

 

[Dorset Boy]

Unlike others? Nonsense Ned.
The likes of MvdP have sacrificed themselves for others loads of times.

I wonder if Mads has had his head turned by a new career as a bus driver? There's a clip of him parking the team bus ahead of one of the vuelta stages!

Looked like Laporte could have held on for second or third himself if he wanted. Good to see Brennan living up to the promise shown last season. Still not sure what type of rider he’s going to become.
