Its felt a bit all-or-nothing (mostly nothing). Pretty anonymous sprint stages (that are hard to get excited about as the sprint field is pretty second tier) followed by 20% brutalathons that look like people are trackstanding up a mountain.
As it's been a period of Froome being a bit immortal, it's been great to see him a bit human (not a comment on his doping program!). And to add the description of 'plucky' to Bertie is a novelty. Oh, and it was pretty textbook Froome vs Contador Hare/Tortoise bit yesterday. Still think it's Froomes to lose, though good to see him looking at week 2/3 needing to attack (unless he's not giving a fuck knowing he's got a 2 min head start on the TT).

Is the Vuelta this year a damp squib compared to the Giro and Tour or is it simply GT fatigue? Giro was amazing and the Tour is the Tour but finding it hard to get excited about the Vuelta this year...
