Vuelta 2014, **el sp-olé-rs**

[400bhp]

But without translation it would have been exotic, how many Colombian Peters are there?

I know but it'd just confuse people. "I'm Peter", "Pedro?" "No, Peter", "Yeah,Pedro"? Noooo, Peter etc etc.

In my head it's more like a bugs bunny cartoon.
Peter.
Pedro.
Peter.
Pedro.
Pedro.
Peter.
Now you've got it.

When I went to Costa Rica a few years ago, everyone was called things like Brian and Kathleen and Colin and even Tweed. I believe soaps may be the culprit, plus a bit of missionary-ing I guess.

Were you at an all inclusive resort that you stayed in for two weeks?

No - all local people I met. Costa Rica is very egalitarian and extremely friendly! Perhaps I should have specified that they were locals. Brian took us to the (Catholic) Cathedral and I asked him if his family were Catholics. "No, Jehovah's Witness" he said.

I was only asking because i know how those all inclusive places can fuddle the mind with all their free beer, wine and rum.

Hell if you think drinking is debauched it's probably best if i don't describe the other stuff that happened.

I'd pay money to watch Tony Marttin riding one handed holding a huge candelabra, and still winning the TT.

It strikes me as unusual that the GC guys are off at two minute intervals. Froome has Rodriguez in front of him so has a fairly gentle paced hare to chase.

Just looked at the start list and seen Betancur is third, not first, off the ramp. Has he been losing some weight over the last 9 days?!!
