Don't suppose anyone is putting any money on Jesus Herrada🙂

I hope you did 😍

I hope you did 😍

Not a betting man Adam, in fact in 66 years on this planet I have never been in a betting shop and wouldn't have a clue what to do if I did!!

Perhaps I need one of those "bucket lists" 🙂

Just say no.....

Cofidis fighting relegation, maybe Jesus does save after all 🙂

Never expected that. Fred wanted it so badly he went way WAY too early.

It's going to be a lumpy weekend - I had serious doubts about Remco's chances on the steep, high bits but he may prove me wrong. He V certainly looked the strongest the other day.
And if he's still in the lead on Tuesday's TT he may well add some more time there.
A slow burner after wasting time in Dutchland but it could be a good few days.

He'll try and stay in red at least until the TT.Class rider but has he got it over the three weeks,I'm not too sure...or is his team strong enough ? Sure he'll go for it again today anyway.
I hope it stays within a minute whoever until the last week,too many GC men who haven't shown up yet.
I've gone with Sivakov 40/1 😁
Although I was actually tempted for Mas !

Get your money on him for Flanders next year....
Bound to win sooner or later 😁

He's been a revelation. Was Ellingworth at Bahrain Victorious when they signed him? It was shrewd move by someone when he was an unknown.
It's all the rage signing young unproven riders these days, but flew under the radar while Cav was there too.

Yes Ellingsworth signed him...I presume he knew him from the British cycling academy,he was at Manchester.Big mates with Ethan Hayter.

Anyone else getting a terrible picture on GCN when watching via Chromecast?
Low resolution nearly the whole time, buffering, etc.
I can watch the Tour of Deutschland with a perfect picture, so it can't be my connection.

Confession time. I find it very hard to get excited about the Vuelta. I speak fluent French and Italian (well, my Italian is a little rusty), I’ve lived in both counties so I love the Giro and the Tour. I speak very little Spanish and have barely been to Spain so it just doesn’t feel as exciting to me. And I feel like it’s the least important tour to riders, teams and fans.

Is it worth me getting excited about the Vuelta or should I have a few weeks off GCN?

Love it. Spent a couple of weeks cycling in those northern mountain areas so like watching it for that. I guess it is no.3 in terms of popularity though?
