    Ahhh, you know it's the Vuelta when it's a flat stage and not a soul cares.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    WTF was that? Bad route planning at the end I think.


    It's like no one was even trying there. Even Cav seemed like he wasn't to go for it.
  • Something of a non finish. Cav chats, on his way across the line.
    Goss gave up 2nd, to celebrate Cav's cruise.

    The scenery made this stage watchable.

    Cav saying that he was actually TRYING to tell Goss to take the win instead of himself but Goss had taken his foot off the gas so Cav had to press on for the win.

    The two of them went round the final corner so far ahead of the rest of the pack that they had all the room in the world to sit up.

    It was a bit like the Champs Elysees finish in the 2009 Tour when Renshaw and Cav came around that last bend well ahead.
