Curious. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684&page=2#post-354332 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 11:45:12 +0000 crowriver 354332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Felt a bit sorry for Yates that he didn't manage to achieve more given all that effort. Roglic unstoppable, but denied the stage win by an impertinent Frenchman - chapeau! Time trial will decide minor placings only presumably. </p> <p>Once visited Santiago de Compostela 30 years ago, went into the cathedral and everything. Amazing place. Not sure if Vuelta finished there back then, even if it had I would have been blissfully unaware of the fact. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684&page=2#post-354331 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 09:06:09 +0000 LaidBack 354331@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo - agreed yesterday was top day especially with last km escapee. Only saw Quest roundup. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684&page=2#post-354330 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 09:00:43 +0000 gembo 354330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like the podium won’t change, though SRD slightly vulnerable as No Roglic in the SRD team. Remarkable to finish so high without the winner.</p> <p>Emperor Brailsford currently in second but has Roglic, Enric Mas and Jack Haig so the entire podium in their team so I think they will snatch victory from Bax at the end,</p> <p>The actual Vuelta fizzled out in the second week when Jumbo Visma let other teams take over but come week three it was fantastic. Yesterday had loads of attacks, Yates was good, and cheeky AG2R steal at the end. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684#post-354144 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 20:17:10 +0000 gembo 354144@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Jay Vine, taken out by taking a bottle from his own tweak car.</p> <p>Nice to see Roman winning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684#post-354136 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 07:34:24 +0000 gembo 354136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lot of riders will be pulling out to concentrate on the Worlds rather than concentrating on the enormous hills coming up this week starting today. David Millar would be getting off and pushing and saying We are not animals. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684#post-354135 Sat, 28 Aug 2021 00:02:44 +0000 crowriver 354135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Villanueva de la Serena - one of the ugliest Spanish towns I've ever seen.

I wasn't sure if he was going to figure. He has the class, but something isn't right. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684#post-353719 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 11:42:40 +0000 gembo 353719@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@paddy Irish , Is Arnuad Demare not still in the race? He has given you 30 points which is 30 more than my sprinter will get given my cynical hedge betting (I forgot to change as I was out cycling )</p> <p>I had Jefferson Cepeda in the Giro he went right round, maybe even until the last day and scored nil points. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20684#post-353718 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 10:59:15 +0000 paddyirish 353718@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote>Bother. Thought I had Phillipson not Jakobsen.</blockquote></p> <p>I think you'll be fine. I think Jakobsen will ride the whole 3 weeks. Not so sure about Phillipsen, who is young and already has 3 weeks of the Tour in his legs.</p> <p>Big story for me was the non appearance of Demare. Have heard a theory that he has lost his nerve around the pointy end. </p>
