The Vuelta with spoilers

Proper traditional no-hope breakaway containing riders from non world tour teams.

That's Mr Red Jersey no hoper Estonian to you.

As the red jersey holders the mighty IWG are merely toying with the junior teams like B&B and Euskatel.

I'm loving this. I started supporting Wanty because I loved their endless commitment to no-hope breaks when they were wildcards in the TdF.

Is this the "vuelta with spoilers" thread, or have i gone through a worm hole and ended up in a whinge about tv thread

The vast majority of internet armchair sports discussion features whinges about commentators. Twas every thus, sorry !!!

In this case it's not surprising; vv many of us only see sports on (Freeview) TV, so for this year's Vuelta that is Quest i.e. the GCN "highlights" hour.
It's soooo bad, that it ruins our enjoyment (and we've got used to better in 2020) => much moaning. It's actually worse than a BBC broadcast of a World Champs Road Race, with Hugh Porter tapping out the rhythm in the box.

He goes into green too.

Another heart warming human sprinter story from DQS, the Mills and Boon of sprint teams.

He's OK, just a bit grazed it seems

Stage 5: 12:17: It seems that, yes, yes, yes, they're off. We need plenty of wind today, for the echelons.
