Gaudu is looking good. Souplesse embodied though I think he might be reeled in shortly.

Wow, that's the first time I've seen Sepp Kuss show pain.

Carthy is a bad MFer. Going for broke with a podium spot. God bless.

About 10 minutes ago he looked uncomfortable in the face. I've never seen him looked bothered like that either.

Carapaz looking like a killer. This whole season has been completely insane and unpredictable.

think Carapaz will run out of real estate

Probably but its still lovely.

that was some nail biter stuff

Indeed

Vuelta seldom disappoints. Great stuff.

It was a beautiful race and I'm sad to see it end. Bring on cross please!

Roglic seems to be very well liked. Win or lose he always seems to congratulate all competitors and they seem to genuinely enjoy the guy.

That was a fitting end to road season. Wow.

You could sense the relief. Losing both the TdF and Vuelta on the final GC day would have been awful for him and his team

Yeah you are right. He had a nice little celebration across the line. Losing like that again would have been savage. I'm happy for him. All class all of the time.

Well I've got a "sunny Irish day" at 10 C and light rain so I'm out for some riding with the boys. This season has been a blast thanks to all of you. Truly you all make this even more fun.

 
every gt this year under a 1 minute margin. has that ever happened before?

. I am surprised the guy survives the cold, given the crazy amount of surface area he has. He is what, 6’4” and under 150 lbs?

68 - 69 kg, but you fail to consider how shit the weather is where he's from. :)

Sepp has seriously earned his paycheck many times over this season.

As for Movistar, it was actually a joy to watch them during this Vuelta, while it hasn't netted them the results, they were likely the most aggressive team in the race and always played their cards very well.

I don’t think thermo dynamics give a rat’ ass about geography ;-). I am just super happy that he managed all those downside risks and should be on the podium in Madrid. It is great that EF will have someone to fill the hole left by Martinez. Now anyone want to bet how long it takes for deushy-Dave Bralisford to come looking to poach more talent?

had Alaphilippe not taken so much celebration time at UCI Worlds' the winning margin in all three grand tours would be less than UCI worlds

• Worlds 24 seconds
• Vuelta 28 seconds
• Giro 39 seconds
• Tour de France 59 seconds

That was worth waiting through Covid19 for!!! All three Grand Tours decided on the last Saturday or Sunday (although the Vuelta did not flip around)

well, perhaps you can ride all the way out to Ballina in County Mayo? I think they are throwing a big celebration there.

No one was waiting for Gaudu.............he, he, he

Cheers, all. Great, weird short season of racing. Can't wait to reconvene.

You are right but there are some hard guys who seem to thrive in this. I had a few Belgian teammates and they just went about a cold day with no issue while I bundled up. It seems like those boys were tougher than me that's certain.
