nice

and each contestant would have to include something supporting their country … including local dress?

Matt Keenan deserves a podium finish today for his solo:)

Well at least Benna was 3rd...apart from that, total bah.

Valverde no longer has the jersey puntos

That’s a good thing in my book.

Wenatchee Wonder FTW

I'm sure he does not care

Some people are born to be spectators, some people are born to make a spectacle and some are born to be mere fans.

No, but Griepel probably cares

As a general rule, I’d rather the jersey go to someone who actually wants it.

Obviously, Valverde has no reason to be worried about the points competition.

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a Valverde girl...sorry!

I could be wrong, but Vuelta site has Evans and Mosquera the other way round.

Time gaps are different too

Zeke's 20-second penalty is missing

And Cadel’s 10-second penalty too

Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.

That's helpful on the official site ;)
