Valverde riding like a man half his age.....

Valverde forever <3

@fredtc you got any money on him for the vuelta?

I'm 39, he gives me hope.

....and I'm 58 next week, but with less impressive pharmaceutical backup, sorry, I meant genetic advantages, sorry, access to altitude training. And my fucking hair won't miraculously grow back either.

Anyone up for watching Friday's Vuelta stage somewhere? Think Hex has closed but there are other places.. LMNH, Rapha in Spitalfields.. ?

Like a man whose results will have an asterisk next to them one day.

Hub Vélo?

Is it just me or are they actually saying 'sponsoring Eurosport's coverage of THE La Vuelta'
Surely that's a glaring error.

Works for me if people are happy to head a bit out of central

Especially jarring when the Zwift ad straight after gets it right

Despite eurosport generally, I'm really enjoying thela vuelta so far, mostly because I'd enjoy seeing any of the three main competitors (Roglic, Quintana and Lopez) win. Today looks like it could be nuts.
Was almost shouting for Roglic to beat Valverde the other day

Just turned on the cycling. And no sooner is there a kirby classic, commenting on Tao's 'muffin top haircut'

What a waste of time.

Mute.

listening to the abstract but strangely soothing sound of incomprehensible Dutch commentary in preference to Kirby's exasperating verbal slurry.

That and the worlds...

its like @Chalfie riding @Señor_Bear 's bike rn

Valverde being described as "ageless". I can think of at least one other Vuelta winner of recent times who was ageless too...

wtafigo

lets pray no landslides

Shits got biblical and Tao's at the front!

Or was. Not sure wtafigo is going on either right now.

Quintana doin his thang...

Sep Vanmarcke won a bloody race!

That Movistar office politics is quite blatant isn't it?

The unlikely saviour of EF's troubles...

that was a long final km. Phew.
