La Vuelta *** SPOILERS***

[mjr]

Van Aert made a right hash of that finish, he lunged twice, it was if he saw a different finish line

With the heat and contesting the intermediate sprint, he may well have gone cross-eyed with the effort!

Tomorrow starts at aisle 16 in the Carrefour supermarket...

Hope it's the freezers aisle, not the hot deli!

Another abandonment...the Soudal quick step team bus retired on stage 4, but they borrowed (for a fee) the Burgos BH one.

Definitely a highlights sort of day....

I'm guessing they are leased and a replacement or two are available....

you are aware there is a website for La Vuelta - its got a whole wealth of info on it.

No. Sounds cool - gotta link?

No they genuinely paid to use the Burgos bus. Burgos didn't get a Vuelta invite this year, but at least their liveried bus is now driving around splashing there logo around Spain. These are all bespoke fitted out & liveried for the cycling teams, you don't have spares to lease.

Everyone's doing it these days. It's just a fad. It won't last

Why were they still using the Soudal one when they're now T-Rex Quick-Step? https://www.pelotonpost.com/t-rex-quick-step-roars-into-the-vuelta/

Probably because T-Rex is a Soudal product

As it said in the link I posted. Surely they rebranded the vehicles if they redid the jerseys.

Your pedantic point has somewhat back fired, team name hasn't changed despite painting dinosaurs on their jerseys for the Vuelta.

Meanwhile, back to the actual race!

Looks like a tough stage but not decisive finish.
Breakaway or race up the last climb for a Roglification sprint?

Only a cat 3 finish, so one for a puncheur? Or a breakaway that staysaway?

Oops, sorry I missed that. I wouldn't have thought T-Rex was the ideal branding for cycling, their little arms would never be able to reach the handlebars.
