Been a busy day for sport today trying to follow the athletics as well, but just caught up with some clips of the footage today.This course is lethal with the rain, there’s going to be some huge gaps
The rain is one thing, which can’t be factored in, but the low level of street lighting on parts of the course looked shocking.
Riders have lights on their bikes, is that what the organisers expect? Maybe go the whole hog and bring back the dynamo on the tyre!
I’m going for Remco on this tour, so happy with the final outcome tbh.
Even in the days of US postal or Sky we never had one team wiping the floor with everyone else in all 3 Grand Tours, but that’s what JV are looking to do here.

First proper GC day today.
Last hour should make decent viewing, with the climb up to Andorra, then the final climb to the ski station finish.
Fascinating to see how JV play it. Personally I reckon they are gonna back Roglic until any point where/if he seems not to have the legs, and only then would Vingegaard step in. Complete guess of course.

Would love for Geraint Thomas to win this but I can’t see past Vingegaard. He’s a monster.
Don’t usually bother with the Vuelta but I reckon we’re going to have a cracker this year.

Today starts the Tour of Britain. Altrincham-Deansgate. All kicks off at 11:45 and I’m going to cycle to Hale to have a gander. It’s live on ITV4. A bit pee’d off with the BBC as of yesterday it wasn’t even mentioned, not even on their cycling calendar.

I’m off to Ramsbottom where I’ll watch them fly up the Rake like it’s a false flat and piss all over my best time.Today starts the Tour of Britain. Altrincham-Deansgate.
