So he's popular with people too dumb to use twitter.
I believe Betancur usually gets the most mail, but it's mostly flyers for local takeaways.
Oh boo hoo, sense the tone :P0 -
CyclingQuotes analyzes each of the race's 21 stages to find out where the race will be decided, where the sprinters will come into action and where the potential pitfalls are hidden.Vuelta a Espana organizers Unipublic have made a definitive decision: their race is not one for sprinters, time triallists or classics riders, it's one for the climbers. Having been praised for their 2012 route with its 10 uphill finishes, the course designers took it a further notch in 2013 by putting together a race containing no less than 11 of those difficult finales. With 9 summit finishes in 2014 and 8 in this year’s editions, they have scaled down the mountainous terrain a bit and with the inclusion of a flat time trial and fewer excessively steep climbs

Sweet! Stage 11 is a Purito special. Apparently he helped design it... Comes after the first day, which itself is late at 10 days into the racing.
Overall am thinking an in-form Nibs could have fun on this course, also Valverde...0 -

Thomas De Gendt goes to the Vuelta with one aim... Attack.

Lucky me.
I'll be in Andorra for this one. Going to the start to meet "the lads", then somewhere on the finishing climb.
Good news for tv viewers, too.
RTVE are showing the whole stage live, along with stage 20:

Why's he not riding?It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0 -
Yes I think we should have a three day feast then give Latour a pay rise.Contador is the Greatest0

No idea. I'm assuming he's as fat as fuck and unlikely to improve on his couldn't-even-finish-last performance of last year.
I may be being harsh on the guy, but he has history.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -

"Interesting" opening TTT in the Vuelta. Take a look at some of the passages - yes, it's sand! (photos @Simon_Jones1)“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

When the My Man transfer season opens, I suspect he'll be released from his contract. A fork would be a bit harsh.0 -

He's tilting at the worlds as well, so I think he'll do TOB whilst the Vuelta is on.

Yeah Boonen wants to practice sprinting after lumpy stages, so I would imagine he's going to be in Britain.0
