The Vuelta with spoilers

[MasterDabber]

In Magaluf I've drunk one of those big pitchers of Sangria in under 90 seconds when younger.

Hmmm... that wasn't quite what I meant

Yes, have you ever competed in Spain?

Yes. Those breakfast buffets require focus and preparation for best performance.

The bottles seem to be extra sticky in that hot weather

Jumbo might regret lack of bonus seconds for Rog at the end...

Well, I was switching between watching the Veulta on the TV and the World Championship MTB Downhill on my laptop. The Downhill won by a long way. The Veultas seemed to me a total snoozefest.

I’m wishing I hadn’t bothered paying for a years Eurosport. I watched it twice and lost interest. Poor filming and even poorer commentary. I just couldn’t get into it at all.

It's been a rather passive race all round so far, with TJV playing the long game and the might of Intermarche Wanty Gobert controlling the race with an iron fist Well ... sort of.

I'm afraid I was dragged away from the race by an urgent need to make cucumber pickle.

I was shocked when I noticed the Peloton gave the breakaways about 13+ minutes gap. That was way too much looking at the fact that there is a faster decent after reaching the summit.

The strategy was for Roglic to attack the Peloton and gain more time on the contenders which was going smoothly until it backfired after the fall. I hope he is back on his feet again. It will not be easy for him to get the Red again as he has to work, really hard. G. Martin is number 2 and he is a great rider. lets see how it goes. Its just getting interesting.

So like i said earlier, it will not be easy for Roglic to take the Red Jersey. I wish he can. We will wait and see

The filming is Spanish TV and if it had been on ITV4 the same would have been used. What probably is the issue is CKs typical inability to commentate on the images when it matters.

I once made a Swiss roll, a Viennese whirl and a Maltese cross...
