La Vuelta SPOILERS.

All emotional interview by Martin yesterday. I have just decided I like him

He's looking good again ! All I need now is for Sam Bennet to win the stage and I'm going to have a ecstatic partner ( she's Irish..)
and don't I know it 😁

I'd love to see Dan Martin win it, looking at how wide open the Giro has turned out you'd hope he was in with a chance at least.

Maybe Roglic and Carapaz will suffer post Tour fatigue

I'm happy to say that after a couple of rainy days, we have clear blue skies from horizon to horizon at the moment!

If it lasts all day then later on you will get to see Ainsa and the surrounding areas in all their Autumn beauty :-)

Fingers crossed that it lasts . . . . .

Now posting this on the correct "Grand Tour" thread . . . . #notpayingattention!


Just catching up with the latest news and I see that La Vuelta will not be crossing the border into France tomorrow. . . . . so the Col du Tourmalet is out of the picture.

The new route for Stage 6 has been released and it is almost an exact copy of Stage 15 from 2016 - except that they start in Biescas then head down to Sabiñanigo (last time they started in Sabiñanigo) and do a loop through Fiscal, Broto, Biescas and finish up with the climb to Formigal.

Can't have been easy wanting to close down towns at short notice - some of these roads/towns will now be closed two days running - but at least the road condition will be good because they are re-riding some of todays route.

It's perfect for us because we can now see tomorrows Stage 6 really easily. I am as happy as a sandboy!

Nope. Still Roglič, Carapaz, Mas, Kuss and then Dan Martin.

Sorry to see Dan hit the deck yesterday :-(

Apparently, the commissaires have amended the times from that group so where Roglic was 2 seconds in front, they all now have the same time.
