2024 Vuelta

I’m surprised there has been no comment on this event.

It’s been quite interesting so far. Ben O’Connor got in a breakaway and got a 5 minute overall lead over a week ago. Roglic has been gradually chipping away at that, often dropping O’ Connor on the last climb. It’s now down to 5 seconds after today’s stage. One wonders how much longer he can hang on to the lead.

There have been some good individual rides too. Adam Yates winning a stage on his own. A Spanish rider riding for an invited Pro-Conti team who’s never won a race before. He has now won 2 of the hardest stages. It’s certainly been more entertaining than the TDF.

I have been watching and enjoying it, or rather enjoying it until yesterday when Wout dipped in to his well of misfortune again
At least he doesn't seem to have broken anything...

It's on Discovery+ ( not discovery from sky that'll cost a small fortune / month ) -- for £56 / year you can't beat the value. I have it for the BSB and I'd pay if that's all that was on it. ( best race series in the world IMO -- these lads and lassies are modern day gladiators )

It's been fantastic.
But WvA crashing out has popped the balloon for me.
I'd love O'connor to hold on, but can't see it.
Not sure how I feel about 75kg double stage winners in precipitous mountain finishes either...

... also, the rain in Spain seems to be a bit Scottish up there in the North West!

Kern Pharma team at it again yesterday. Looks like O Connor might finally lose the jersey today. Very hard finish.

Truly valiant effort by O'Connor to hold on to a podium finish.
As always my favourite of the big 3 Tours.
