La Vuelta *** SPOILERS***

[Jameshow]

"After the Tour I've put my mind on La Vuelta straight away. But in the weeks after the Tour I never reached my level. When we saw training didn't go well, we switched to the original plan: Olympics and the Canadian races in September."

Lol yea right 🤣

What do we reckon then ?
Rogla as the favourite makes me nervous ! I mean it looks like a Vuelta that suits him and he should win but....
Kuss defending champ but the season that Visma have had I'm not really feeling it 😲
Almeida or Adam Yates I think id go with Yates for some reason ?
Or the great Landismo and his imaginary friend....it's his time isn't it 🤣

Don't get T.rex muddled up with T.rek, Adam...

Almeida was going well in the Tour, possibly better than Yates? Tough call.

Roglic may not be fully recovered and fully fit and he hasn't looked quite as strong this year. If he crashes out in this race, I think he should seriously consider retiring and taking up a safer sport....ski jumping maybe.

Kuss I can't guage whether he's in last year's form either.
Dani Martinez?
Landa might get top 5...

It's as open a race we've seen in theory

Josh Tarling off at 18.32 - CET, presumably?
Hope he can take the win and the red jersey to partially compensate for his bad luck at the Olympics

 

[Dogtrousers]

Nope for Tarling.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

There might be a fair few climbing days. 3,265km route with 61,522m of climbing. Compare that to TDF, 3,498km and only 46,664m of climbing.

 

[Adam4868]

Come on Rogla !

So much pressure on him ! Felt for him at his interview after...looked absolutely devastated ffs.
I hope he can take the pressure of himself and enjoy the rest of the Vuelta.

That is some ask, "enjoy". There are another - mostly hilly or very hilly - 19 stages to get thru before his next chance of a win!
