La Vuelta SPOILERS.

[rich p]

Not sure what to make of this lot.
Rivera I know nothing about.
Sosa good young'un but untested
van Barle wasn't as good as last year in the Tour
Golas an old workhorse
Not sure if he's Wurf it
Froome - who knows?
Amador under-performed at the Tour
Carapaz - their best shot but needs help!

Rivera is Bernals mate and training partner I think.Wurf who's rode grand tours before(5/6 years ago) but he's been a ironman rider,more of a big engine domestique I presume.
Carapaz as leader and Froome as....however good he's feeling.

 

[Adam4868]

Froome riding for Carapaz...I think if he finishes the race he'll have done well.There again I wouldn't write him off just yet.

I'll buy you a stick of Blackpool rock if Froome wins. In my book he has no chance

Roglic, Dumoulin, Carapaz, Mas...probably Roglic

Nick if Froome wins I'll be buying you, 22/1 when I backed him for a podium place ! Like I say and it pains me ! I don't see him winning,more of a back in the game ride.But as we've seen so many times I'd never write him of.Expect the unexpected with him.
If I could dare to back against Ineos,I'd say Dumoulin...he deserves a win aswell 😁

 

[Adam4868]

Who are Jumbo Visma taking as their #1. I thought it was Roglic ...

Sorry I haven't checked. What with the Tour and Giro the Vuelta is down the bottom of my inbox.

You don't say #1 any more...get with it 😁
Yes Roglic and Dumoulin

 

[rich p]

Gotta be Roglic with Carapaz as second choice for me. Dumoulin could do it but I'm assuming that Jumbo will be all in for Roglic. If JV play it canny, and given the oppsition, they could have 3 on the podium with Kuss
Maybe Pinot will overcome his demons and surprise us all! Or then again...

p. s. If Froome makes the top 10 I'll buy Adam a pint next time he's in Brighton

I'd take you up on that..it'd be worth the train fare to extract a pint of you !
But us northerners are in quarantine ☹️

 

[Adam4868]

Apparently Pinot isn't riding for GC...no sh1t ! It's down to David Gaudu for that job.

Carapaz to win?
Nice first stage, I hope the ususal boring first stages of the past are gone forever

Apparently TT with bike change again

Spanish TV hyping Vlasov

Unfortunately at work till highlights tonight,looks a good stage profile though.
Vlasov he deserves the hype...just hope he's packed his Gaviscon tablets

Martínez out in a peleton crash!
2.50 to make up

Froome struggling to keep up...As Ineos push the tempo up

 

[Eziemnaik]

Perfect finish from Roglic
Carapaz and Mas keep up
Kuss is invaluable to Jumbo, workhorse
