I think Fernandez thought he'd won???
I think he did too.
From Valverde's interview it looks like he knew he was going into red.0 -

Fair play to him.

Hugh Carthy finished 152nd, almost 15 minutes down.
Large group of Astana riders came home together but still no sign of Lopez......"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Lopez 135th.0 -
I put a pound e/w on lopez as soon as PP opened their book. He was doomed the second I did that - I once had a queue of punters waiting to place bets with my coworker while I sat there reading the racing post as they would rather not get on than have me jinx their bet.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0

Superman certainly did fly, just not in the air.
12 and a half minutes, plus probably some teeth, lost."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Good win by Geniez. 5 Movistar riders dropping the whole race except Chaves was looking dubious but they did their usual going to early trick. Contador should retire at the end of the season as originally planned.0

It's not although he has never been good at sprinting up short steep hills.
He used to be able to hang in until the sprint started though.0 -

Depending how he said it that sounds pretty close.
30% is crazy, you have trouble keeping the front wheel on the ground at that kind of gradient. It did look steep on the TV.BASI Nordic Ski Instructor

Disgraceful (albeit minor) new father* behaviour in terms of protecting your son's inheritance: any other examples of poor fatherly behaviour welcomed, as I seem to be racking them up like a good 'un.

I know how to pronounce jeune - and it doesn't sound like that! Almost sounded like he said jews.0 -
Just watching the report on the Vuelta on Nieuwsuur here and there was some dreadful footage of Kruijswijk in the Giro showing a massive row of teeth and him on the sofa says... "perhaps he can give some to Lopez." I didn't even know he had been watching the proceedings today.Correlation is not causation.0

Great finish, that last incline was insane! A couple of nutters leading the last charge then Froome rolls into view.... 'Hello....' what a guy.
Berti's cooked and Quintana who should be dancing up these hills bearing in mind he did nothing during the TdF left cursing Froome's fast disappearing back wheel.
Fun stage but will it remain so?'Performance analysis and Froome not being clean was a media driven story. I haven’t heard one guy in the peloton say a negative thing about Froome, and I haven’t heard a single person in the peloton suggest Froome isn’t clean.' TSP0 -

Bertie was alright on the super steep wall in the Tirreno the other year. Maybe he's just not on form

Looks like Contador is rocking a retro pair of Pro Ms!0 -

Good discussion about Bert in the Cycling Podcast dropped last night. View that his racer instinct is a double-edged sword: it's why loads of fans love him racing, but at a time in his career now where he needs to use his head a bit more because he can't go with every move without risking paying a big price.

These cycling podcasts for the Vuelta have been good - shorter and to the point. Not long enough to cover my commute though...0 -
