  • 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).

  • Time trials deep into week 3 of the Vuelta can be strange affairs. You'd expect Froome to beat Quintana but it might be a lot closer than a lot of people expect. All the comments from the Movistar camp about Quintana needing 3 minutes on Froome can be disregarded.
