It doesn't seem right to me that you can be in, and quite possibly win, the Tour de l'Avenir when you are already a good enough pro to come 11th in a mountain time trial at the Giro. The future is already his present. Though the VHS quality of the broadcast makes it more like a tour of the past.
Mad that the Vuelta starts tomorrow, I'm sure the Tour only finished last week.

Bink Bank, Eneco, Tour of Benelux...Tour Renewi now! Make your bloody mind up. Good sprint anyway

Sketchy start for the ttt. Do a skid!

Christ, it's absolutely shitting it down in Barcelona. Seems to be getting worse, so thus far the teams going out earlier have a slight advantage.

Is that daan soete in second? Imagine it wasn’t much competition

Dropping like flies here.

Absolute chaos.

The last few teams will need lights.

I'm surprised they can even see the corners at this stage.

Yeah - not really the same for all tbh. Shakes it up a bit to start though I guess.

Coverage is abysmal though. Classic vuelta.

Movistar attack!

the next merckx cant believe he didnt win, cursing at water

Ooofff.

Edit: it is Daan Soete, with Paul Voss, ex-German pro, in third.

How is there no Il Lombardia route for this years race yet?

So lovely to see him smiling at the end today, was fearing the worst.
