Been thinking about the Vuelta. Yeah it's a GT but all GTs are the not the same. Here's my analogy:
Giro: your good friend's 30th birthday. Venue should be good, most of the old crew but lots people you've never met who are actually really cool, probably going to be the best night of somebody's life. Amazing bar we are DEFINITELY coming back here
Tdf: a wedding reception. Could be a boring stage-managed swish one with the sit-down roast dinner and the chair covers, or could be all-in-it together family affair with rivalaries and emotions and shouting by the chip van at 9am. Either way venue is nuts good, where did they get all the money for this? Open bar. Everyone is at this one, like 300 fucking people here. A fun day, maybe you pay £70 to get a taxi back to the village B&B, maybe you get to have it off with someone behind a hatchback in the carpark
Vuelta: house party. Whoa who the hell are all these people, I thought knew most of Rachel's friends but I don't recognise anyone here. Did this get out on Tiktok? DJ might be amazing (fuck he brought his own vinyl!) or could be some 'bro' who think he can mix and christ it's awful. Everyone gets fucked up, impossible to know who had a good time as no one can remember
