    The longer the Vuelta carries on, the more I can see the argument for swapping season position with the Giro and shortening it to 2 weeks.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    7 posts (now 8 including this one), is that it?!

    Was the stage really that boring or is it a case of late season fatigue in Pro Race?

    To paraphrase the Lego Movie, 'this race is literally the worst'.

    Actually it isn't but some terribly dull stages have left me feeling overall very let down and bored with it.

    Unfortunately I do not have the privilage of having a maternal or paternal grandmother left on Earth. You prick. Go and F off somewhere else. You are now on block...should have done that before you got to 150.

    Yawn.

    If 'block' results in your homophobic, racist, zealot-esque posts not finding their way onto the forum then fine by me. I let your somewhat concerning personality traits lie as you seem to have a genuine love for cycling and that can only help the forum but seeing as you feel the need to behave like an abusive brat enough is enough.

    Let's just concentrate on the cycling.

    You haven't even got the balls to apologise. You really are a nasty little f*cker aren't you. Sad life you must have.

    So back to the stage as after pulling a 12 hour shift I'm tired and would like too know if it was really dull today or should I stay up to watch the later highlights?
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Cheers for the link will give that a look.

    Do feel like I miss out if I don't get my fix but if it's a rubbish one what's the point.

    Possibly the highlight of the stage was Europcar's Dan Craven photobombing the winner's presentation. Live on TV.

    I enjoyed watching g.c. riders and teams playing pinball with the sprinters, it would have been a hairy finish in the wet. On the latest Backstage Pass, OGE riders describe the stage as being brutally hard like an Ardennes classic.
