La Vuelta a Espana *Spoiler*

[smutchin]

Quite enjoying seeing the state of the riders crossing the line - well and truly cooked, as they should be after that kind of effort.

Apart from the ageing ex-doper making it look like a walk in the park at the end there.

I dont want to jinx him but Enriq Mas looks like the real deal !

And again today.

What happened to the Valverde who used to fade on the longer climbs. Not following the profile but I'm presuming it's not been high enough. Or something else.....

 

[roadrash]

Another bad day at the office for Quintana, as noted above a certain mr Valverde made it look like a breeze by comparison taking half a dozen seconds on yates

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Are people suggestion that Mr Valverde may have made some more mistakes

 

[Supersuperleeds]

On a positive note, do our resident experts think Mr Yates has done enough to take red to the finish? Would be great to have all three GTs this year won by three different Brits.

So, so pleased for Michael Woods.

(Shame he only took up bike racing relatively recently).

I think those mistakes are in his blood.

Every credit to the breakaway and the winner Wallays,feck that was close !

 

[Va Va Froome]

It's always special when the breakaway stuns an expected sprint finish. Well done!

 

[Dave Davenport]

Just watched the highlights, that was brilliant!

Steve Cummings is interesting. He's miles back on GC and is presumably in the team to get a stage win. I don't recall him being in a break in the race so far so presumably he's been taking it steady in the peleton

Only two more winnable stages to go. Wonder if he will try today. If not it's tomorrow or go home having achieved nothing (and a bit of a waste of a man in the team)

hes been that well hidden up to now I had actually forgot he was riding the Vuelta until the time trial

He's had a "sh1t year" so it would be nice for him.Cant really see him back to his usual form yet though.
