La Vuelta a Espana 22/8 - 13/9 2015 (here be spoilers)

That's some pretty astonishing acceleration from Astana there.

What's the green/red/white flag?

 

[Crackle]

I don't think that Rodriguez or Majka have the fire power

 

[smutchin]

That'll be the Ikurriña - the Basque flag.

 

[SWSteve]

That'll be the Ikurriña - the Basque flag.

Thanks

Has that hat been presented at every stage?

And why does Spains entry to Eurovision play at the end of every stage! (I'm embarrassed to have noticed that if I'm honest)

Thanks for that. I'd have missed half the programme otherwise.

WTF do I know!

WTF do I know!

Or indeed any of us yet we're all still happy to post our ignorance up on the Internet for everyone to see for ever.

 

[Crackle]

WTF do I know!

More than me if the punditry is to be believed.

Has that hat been presented at every stage?

No, it's special to Asturias.

Anyone else notice that the Basque fans were wearing green rather than orange? Is it for Caja Rural?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Is it for Caja Rural?

Yes

If Dumoulin keeps in touch tomorrow, he could still storm back to the lead in the TT after the rest day... it's a big 'if' though because tomorrow is a beast. And he's unlikely to win the overall anyway with the last couple of stages being tough too.

Interesting POV from Cav, have to agree with him to an extent, the Vuelta is becoming a bit of a mad race, especially at this stage of the season...
