Puh-Ga-Char carefully places his sunnies above the team's branding on his cap

Smiles lots

 

Roggas stoic and goes through cooling down

 

Valverde goes around and congratulates everybody

 

 

Phew!

What a fine edition of the Vuelta yet again

Meanwhile, Mathieu wins Tour of Brit

And its not like he hid away in the bunch today before winning the stage, again. He himself covered allot of moves.

 

Can't wait for World's!

Yip, Vd P was incredible today.

 

And Bling also made a huge statement yesterday in Canada after his rather lackluster performance in the TdF.

 

The worlds can't come too soon.

Tadej Pogacar is the youngest rider in the last 85 years to win three mountain stages at a single Grand Tour.

It's not so much that he was busted. Many people have been busted but it's the complete lack of acknowledgement that he doped, no information around those who enabled / helped, lack of repentance and annoyance about being asked about it but be lauded as a great guy. There is one way of looking at it that he doesn't owe anyone anything as he's been sanctioned as per the rules and his time is served. Unfortunately being the best performing 39 year old will have alot of questions asked. I know the ban has probably allowed his career to last longer and created even more of a burning desire but when he has his history and the facts are extra ordinary then questions will (and should) be asked.

 

The firestorm around Team Sky and their use of TUE's legally (though morally ambitious depending how you look at it) shows it's often different different horses for different courses.

 

One thing is for sure Valverde is a master racer. His tactics and ability to read a race are exceptional combined with a really mindset to win. You can't buy that over the internet and it's something to watch.

 

I'll be glad once he's out of the rainbow jersey, I think it leave a bit of a stain across those hoops. I want the part of cycling out of the peloton (even if it lingers in the back room staff and owners).

That's kinda how I feel about him too. Like a smelly fart of cycling's doping history that just won't go away.

An absolute spectical to behold the last 3 weeks. Roggas had it coming, and more.

 

I am sorry Nairoman didn't make the podium, but Pogacar, gosh.

 

Edit: Grammar.

Personally, I would have liked for SupermAn to be rewarded with a spot on the podium, he was really entertaining.

 

Can the Oom just finally retire and move on, we have seen enough of his "deny everything" face.

 

It would be a sad day if he was to do the double at Yorkshire 2019

Yoh, what am I supposed to do on Monday???

3 ways to manage withdrawal after a heavy dosage of Grand Tour racing:

 

✔️ Watch replays of the Spring Classics (final 50 kms)

✔️ Admission to psychiatric clinic

✔️ Read Vaughter’s latest book ????
