I really like the hilltop finishes from the first week. If le tour had a few of these at the end of the medium mountain stages it would have maybe led to more attacking of Wiggins. Or Sky would have done just the same......
Planche des Belles Filles maybe comes closest and that was a good finish.
Part of the attacking intent here is due to the time bonuses. I kind of like the fact the TdF doesn't have them to be honest.

WTF? Is that humour or trolling?
Obviously alluding to the general trend on this forum that (a) british riders dont dope and (b) any foreigner who had good form in the past and is not at their best now must have been on drugs.

I got the joke! :smile:

And that doesn't happen often....
We all got it - it's just that it was neither funny or accurate.
It would be nice too if we could keep this thread for chit chat about the Vuelta and leave the sly innuendo and mudslinging to the other thread that shall be nameless.
That's just my wish of course.

Actually there are plenty of rumours around about British riders (remember the UCI list?). However I don't know of any suspicions around Ben Swift.

I am not saying there are rumours about Swift.
I think I will just retire from the conversation now. The moment has passed. No point in expanding / explaining.

Most people who follow cycling closely are a bit suspicious of Cobo's performance in last year's Vuelta because of what he achieved, or rather didn't achieve in the months before, and his complete and absolute none-performance ever since. But what has that got to do with Brit riders? If you're suggesting I was being xenophobic, then you should look at a couple more of my posts where I'm hoping Rodriguez will win this year's event. If you're not suggesting I was being xenophobic, then I still don't understand your original post.
