La Vuelta 2017 **SPOILERS**

[Adam4868]

Thought I would wait until the rest day to ask this.

I'm off to Spain on Saturday, more specifically Madrid. Complete coincidence the timing of that................... So I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on watching the final stage? I'm not to fussed if I'm not by the finish as I don't really want to have to get there really early just so that I can see. Seeing the podium would be good but I saw an overhead shot of last year and it looked a bit busy.

If I can stand by the barrier and have a good view I'd be happy

Any tips or secrets would be gratefully received as this will be the first time seeing a Grand Tour stage.

Been to quite a few and I don't think there's any real secret,just pick a spot you fancy.Im going myself on Sunday,looking forward to it !

If you start feeling smug that you have a great position by the finish line, make sure you have got it right and you are before, not after, the finish. Otherwise you may miss something like this

Where does one begin? You'd think this was Wacky Races. How utterly childish and moronic. And one of the guys says he made "a mistake"? Alas I fear that the mistake he feels he made was in being filmed doing it, not the stupid bit of cheating itself.

 

[Beebo]

time trials are very boring to watch!
But Froome blasted that one.

 

[Crackle]

I wasn't necessarily expecting him to beat Kelderman.

 

[Stonechat]

Pity about Rohan Dennis being out too

 

[rich p]

So far, so predictable.
let's hope someone other than Bert or Lopez has a go at Froome tomorrow.

 

[brommers]

Will anyone be doing this?

Wout Poels finished 7th in the TT yesterday. Was this a statement of confidence and form, or a misguided waste of effort, with respect to the work that he will have to do in the next few days?

 

[rich p]

He feels fitter and it was only 40 km when all's said and done. I think he'll be fine. The other GCers will have put an equally hard effort in.
He might also be making a statement for future GC ambitions, either with or without Sky. Next year's Giro?

 

[Adam4868]

He seems to have rode himself fitter,maybe sky.have said you can push yourself a bit ! Still 4 hard enough stages to go.
