Vuelta a Espana 2016

Ah! I watched parts of it muted, when the gc came up I was puzzled, now I know why.

Sky winning by half a second?

I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but it is all very questionable.

@russmeyer :)

Yes. Very questionable. Not accusing anyone though. Of anything.

The #Vuelta71 has replaced the #TCRNo4 on the home page.

As is my custom I'll be picking Talansky to win, followed by him losing 5 to 6 minutes on stage four.

One year I'll get it right, one year.

Kind of Yawnsville so far. Enjoying the commentators apologising for the quality of the racing so far.

Carlton Kirby's attempts at Spanish are appalling. 'Cabazza' de Carrera.

And how did they decide who got the other jerseys apart from Kennaugh? How did Valverde get the points jersey? Is it just because his name has verde in it?

No one else watching then? Enjoying the last of the Spanish Plume outside instead I suppose.

You're about to miss the excitable puppy Juan Antonio Flecha, aka the best thing about Eurosport.

Mtb on the bbc

It's not exactly edge-of-your-seat stuff so far.

Steepest ever finish this afternoon they say !

avg. > 15% over 1 km? wow.

Great Tweet from Nathan Haas

After reading 'The art of war' one would think it's better not to try
today. However, I like the david and Goliath story more:) 100% effort!

Carlton Kirby has just described Smukulis, wearing a jersey with a massive Latvian flag on it, as an Estonian cyclist. And is still struggling with 'cabeza'.

You can't expect him to learn all the provinces of Russia.

I nearly tweeted him a correction. Then I started noticing all the other mistakes he's making and there's just not enough time in the world.

Just showed one of Purito's tweets celebrating Carlos Coloma Nicolas getting bronze in the Olympic mountain biking. He announced that it looked like Purito was getting into mountain biking.

Looks like Lopez out of the GB contention, and in for a trip to the dentist soon.

My feed keeps freezing, looks like my man Valverde is doing the business.

Bit of a snorter this hill.

geniez gets it, quintana 3rd froome 4th

Did Fernandez think he had won?

and kirby continues to spout irritating bollocks

think he's in red

That's what I thought, looked a bit more than an "I'm in red" celebration.

Fantastic win by Geniez, but he looks fucked now.

And Galicia...wow.
