Get in fucking here, 7 hours to go but hyped as fuck, one of the hardest races I've ever seen, mountains and +20% slopes nonstop.
First stage is a team time trial as usual in vuelta, usually is short (6-7km) but this time is 27.8 (flat) so we could see differences between the favorites already.
Time schedule (GMT+1) 18:26h. Bora-Argon18 18:30h. Direct Energie 18:34h. Lotto Soudal 18:38h. Astana 18:42h. Lampre-Merida 18:46h. Dimension Data 18:50h. IAM Cycling 18.54h. Caja Rural-Seguros RGA 18:58h. FDJ 19:02h. Etixx-Quick Step 19:06h. Katusha 19:10h. Cofidis 19:14h. Cannondale-Drapac 19:18h. AG2R La Mondiale 19:22h. Trek-Segafredo 19:26h. Orica-BikeExchange 19:30h. Giant Alpecin 19:34h. BMC 19:38h. Lotto-Jumbo 19:42h. Movistar Team 19:46h. Team Sky 19:50h. Tinkoff Team

There's nothing wrong with riding the QUEBECER classics.
Henry Sanders
I am so excited. The Vuelta always brings some of the most exciting racing of the year, especially among the GC contenders.
I am certain that the 2012 edition is one of the GOAT grand tours, seeing three of my favorite riders battle day after day. I am a bit sad Rodriguez did not prioritize this in his final season as I would have loved to watch him ride the race one last time. I hope Valverde will not be too tired after 2 grand tours to ride in his usual style. But I'm sure we will get a few amazing performances out of him. Wouldn't be surprised to see him nap the points jersey and a top 5 even while hauling Quintana around Spain.
I cannot wait to see how Contador will win.
I miss Euskatel.
It'll be great.
Sveino the Zen Master of BSP
Blake Lopez
Same here. These generals are max comfy.
Austin Smith
he got sick before/during Rio, it's clear he's doubting about his form. I expect him to lose time in the first week :[

William Davis
2012 was incredible, that 17th stage with Contador attacking at 50km to win the race still in my head, this year is as hard as 2012 or even more now is up to the riders to give some good show like then.
Aiden Perry
lost on the last day mainly because he got bullied by the big Astana and co mountaintrains, but he wrecked them before, without a team (Giant-Alpecin had a full sprint team back then).
Logan Thomas
yes, but hes too anonymous, he just follows the wheels of the favourites, never attacks for himself.
I want to like him but I cant
Austin Turner
rewatch it please, he was in the lead and looking to win it until the choke on the last day
Alexander Robinson
he's still young his day will come once the confidence grows
Landon Nguyen

Anyone go for a ride this morning?
I was going to go running but figured I should ride instead because of the vuelta. Great weather, high 70s and clear air.
Hudson Brown
>BORA German engineering for your hair.
Ayden Scott
Rain today. I don't do rain. Rode yesterday.
Jackson Cox
Carlton Kirby is so fun to listen too, even though he gets stuff wrong sometimes. Him and Backstedt are so giggly today.
Only thing I don't like about rain is it means the bike gets a bit dirtier. Other than that I love it.
Jeremiah Campbell
I've fractured my scaphoid, no riding for me for a while Time to invest in a trainer

Get some rollers m8. Set them up in a doorway if you've never used them and spin while you watch tv or something. I suppose trainers give a more complete workout but rollers are cheaper.

I'd love to see Phil Gil do his usual thing and get a great stage win here.
Not sure but it seems good for him to move to Etixx. Maybe they'll get him a RVV title.

Giant-Alpecin nearly 2 minutes slower. They would've taken first, but... you know.
Noah Howard
Who /Gesink/ here?

more chance to win stages than generall classification. Though they have enough quality to do both I expect top5 max
