Is just me or do any of you find that the vintage paintjob on the Ridley bikes are bloody awful?

[Prince Albert Cycles]

Am I the only one that gets nervous when Chris Froome looks down all the time ?

It looks cool on the Helium, but not the Noah.

Enjoyed today when Saxo Bank started increasing the pace in the wind.

Tomorrow

 

The GC trains will be out

Let's see whether Benatti or 'Berto is sheltered?

Sanchez or Cuddles?

Quintana or Valverde?

 

Etc

 

 

Lots of cloak and dagger going on.

 

 

Well done, Degenkolb, on another win.

Looking potent.

 

Sagaaan clearly off his peak and building again for the Worlds.

Perfect I reckon.

This first few days already has been brilliant. Saxo loves making it hard in the wind. goat give it to them, they've got a great racing strategy and everyone on their team buys into it.

AG2R signs Bakelandts from OPQS and it looks like Betancur is staying.

We'll see today how AC's leg is really holding up.

 

First real fireworks of the Vuelta happens today

 

And it's going to be another scorcher: 36 degrees in the shade and almost no wind out there. Out in the exposed midday sun it will be a lot hotter than that.
