La Vuelta SPOILERS.

I can't get any enthusiasm for this race. I keep watching but just get bored... perhaps it's just me.

Vuelta >Giro>>>Tour

Fewer boring stages
Surprises like the one yesterday
Arguably more successful breakaways?(is it me or there is less of these each year?)

Have to say today's stage, despite (or maybe because) of all difficulty, was a more boring one in this year's edition

I am struggling to keep up with it a bit too. I'm putting it down to the fact that the first few days I watched the giro then the vuelta. Managed to catch the entire first two stages of the Giro and Tour and they set the entire races up brilliantly. The Vuelta is usually my favourite GT too

All the GC are worried about tomorrw. The trouble with these back to back hard mountain stages is that the teams often play it conservatively and wait till the last climb tomorrow on the Angriloo = as Sean Kelly called it.
They're less exciting than the short sharp stages often.

Or in Roglic's case, the last 200 metres.
I find Roglic particularly boring. I don't blame him for riding the way he does. He rides to his strengths which is totally understandable and acceptable as he is riding to win, not entertain..... but it's so, so boring. Having the dreaded bonus points don't help either.

Carapaz needs to attack tomorrow as Roglič will make more time in the ITT. JV very strong today.

Yes that’s right, it’ll be full gas for the last 30mins tomorrow. It’s often too hard a climb to be exciting, people just slowly drift away.

Kelly had a full on tongue twister for nearly 30 secs today, bless

The Giro is normally my favourite and it was good this year, and the tour also. The Vuelta is obviously missing a few stages but it’s been pretty mundane so far IMO. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Wanted Soler to win that stage,I thought he deserved it.As for the rest...just a matter of marking each other out today.Froome rode a good stage today,looking better as the race goes on.Heres hoping for some bigger GC attacks tommorow.

Most exciting part of today's stage ?

Sundays aghhhh ! I've got to go out.Someones gotta try and break Jumbo today ? It's hard to see past Roglic if it goes to the final 5 k.Sure Ineos will try something

 

[Bonus]

I'm not sitting through the whole stage today - I'll tune in in a couple of hours and watch.

I hear Movistar is using a new, groundbreaking clothing on the descents:

Amador & Formolo fell down in exactly the same place
