Was just looking at my Vuelta Fantasy team and picking my winner for today and was a little shocked at the NTT data predictors pick for today,

I would love to know what data they use to come up with their predictions.

"Sepp, you can have your bloody Vuelta win, but I gave you some time back so I am damn well taking Saturday's stage, okay?!!"

It's been an issue with my Firestick on all races and highlights but not the documentaries. Normally a restart of the race/highlights stops it happening but yesterday it was continuous. GCN say their is nothing wrong with their app yet every other app works fine. Decided enough was enough and bought a Google Chromecast this morning to see if casting off my tablet is better. Certainly no stilly zooming issues on watching on that.

Um - the Chromecast not good. GCN+ from the tablet comes with a jerky picture and keeps on freezing. Ended up connecting the laptop to the tv.

Seems to like beating the new invincibles, won a stage in TdF with WVA coming second

Was hoping for a Pelayo Sánchez win today as I had him as my fantasy stage winner but Wout Poels was a worthy winner.

As they often say the breakaway gets what the peloton give them.

Always liked Poels...bit like Kuss as a super domestique! All those years working for Froomey etc and seems like such a nice e bloke 😁
Deserves the glory !

Interesting quote: If I have three or four stage wins and I finish 12th on GC, it’s still a very good Vuelta. Remco, Aug 24 https://www.lavuelta.es/en/news/2023/info-with-two-days-to-go-2/35683

He's now got 3 stage wins, but he's one place down at 13th on GC. Still it ain't over yet.

Now up to 12th.

Now up to 12th.

If he sticks to stage hunting he could win a number of stages at most GT it's just his ability to compete for GC in 3 weekers that I doubt.

You do realise that he won the overall GC at the 2022 Vuelta, don’t you? 🙄

The records will show that he won the Vuelta last year but IMO it will always be tainted by a certain incident on stage 16.
