The Vuelta with spoilers

[Adam4868]

Brave effort by Cort Neilson but Roglic takes the stage and a few more seconds of his rivals ! Movistar came in second and third with Mas and Lopez.

Intermarche Wanty Gobert hold onto red, with Guillaume Martin (ex Wanty Groupe Gobert) in second.

They are the new Team Sky.

Bernal getting dropped left , right and centre .
Has he burned out already , back still playing up or has the competition finally caught up and overtaken the Ineos train ?

Got other stuff on his mind....

Alex Aranburu withdrawn with hurt knee & 4 stitches. Phillipson also pulled out. Not good.
Aranburu could have won today’s stage so my velogames team is ruined.

The Vuelta a España seems to have only six proper mountain stages this year.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Today looks like a real nothing stage. Not proper climby stuff and no uphill finish so unlikely to have much GC action. Too lumpy for the proper sprinters to play. A great day for ... er ... not watching.

(Cue the most exciting stage of this year's race)

More news about Intermarché, the supermarket chain whose team is leading the Vuelta. They have just recalled a several batches of bread found to contain pieces of glass. Including the batch I’ve been eating for the least few days. Bastards. I’m hoping for karmic punctures in the Vuelta today.

I hope Carlton Kirby gets to hear about that. He should be able to fill about an hour of nothing happening with that story.

I’d rather eat (more) broken glass than listen to Carlton Kirby talk8ng about it for an hour

AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE STOOPID QUEST HIGHLIGHTS HOUR ...

Which idiot thought of having the 3 Sofa Pundits talk over the sound track of the helicopter thropping over a nearby scenic view, whilst they and the current standings are each displayed in sub-windows too small for either to be much use? eh?

It's like a school TV production class happening live on national telly ...

Afraid that's a Eurosport standard, did notice last night a slight improvement in the "highlights" in Orla talking through the intermediate sprint rather than exposing everyone to CKs erratic comments. The post race discussion is simply a chopped down version of what went out on Eurosport after CK was cut off.

Orla could talk about anything and I'd be happy....

Yes, I think they slid out on a corner but got back pretty quickly.
Matthews and Trentin's teams did a lot of work for next to nothing.
