Last GT of the year, then the Worlds, then oblivion till 2019.

Apart from the Tour of Poland of course.

I just read this...http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/horner-set-for-vuelta-a-colombia-with-team-illuminate/

and thought the old farker was making a wildcard comeback until my reading glasses kicked in.

Movistar are apparently using the three-pronged attack that failed so dismally in the TDF. Will they never learn?
Sky leader discussed elsewhere and still a moot point.
Pinot, Nibali, Porte all got some motivation.
Culd be good 'un. Wide open.

Almost always better than the French offering.

Kwiat seems to be taking the massive T d Pologne seriously so I suspect he won't be the main man for Sky's Vuelta?
 
I suppose if @rich p was going to make a spelling error in the thread title it should have been spolér

Was reading Sepp Kuss is making his debut at the vuelta for Lotto.I didn't see any of the Utah race but he was meant to be pretty impressive.Id presume he'd be riding for Bennet as team leader ?

He was pretty amazing, albeit in a lower quality field. His name was new to me but the way he just ride away from his attackers was impressive.

I would have thought that Kruijswijk would be their main GC man.

Kruijswijk and Bennet have been announced as co-leaders in reports like https://www.roadcycling.co.nz/kruijswijk-bennett-lead-lottonl-jumbo-at-vuelta-2018/ but previously Kruijswijk was announced as concentrating on the Tour like http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kruijswijk-to-focus-on-tour-de-france-in-2018/ so I suspect he may be a decoy to prevent Bennett having to do all the pre-race media alone.
