My friend and I are in a picture on manual for speed and I'm unreasonably excited about it. Watching the pro challenge come through golden live was awesome though, and seeing the replay was super cool too.

Anyone got a list of races Horner didn't finish/start this year? I feel like I've read that story over and over again, but I don't know if my memory is faulty. Dude should retire already. Matthews/Degenkolb trading blows in stages 3/4. Love the lumpy/technical finishes. Now if Dan Martin could pick up a stage win, I'd be totally happy.

Its weird that the Vuelta is always the ginger stepchild of Grand Tours for media coverage, despite this one having one of the best lineups in recent years.

Yeah I really wish there was a tour tracker or someone tossing the entire stages up on youtubes. Remember when RAI put whole stages up on the website and had live streaming from the Giro? I fuckin' love the Vuelta.

Spain is awesome, Vuelta constantly owns, and more often than not lately is best GT. Let it remain on the downlow so we can look down our noses at people who only watch the tour. Im into some pretty obscure bike races, you probably havent heard of them  Also Ill believe the Alonso thing when I see it. I love Fred, F1 and cycling so itd give me a fullon sportboner, but weve already heard this story twice before, and alonso/cycling talk during the vuelta surprises me not.

Eh not really, its a lot of racing on wide roads in brutal weather with ugly scenery and bad camera work (sounds like tour of california actually). 2012 Vuelta was great thanks to Alberto but last year Horner won.

We haven't had a solid week of sprint stages? My bold prediction is Purito going to take the lead tomorrow.

Was able to keep an eye on the race till the last 3km. Hopefully be able to catch a whole stage some day. Glad to see Contador keeping up.

I'm annoyed that SBS is only showing the last third of the Vuelta. Are there any non-geoblocked streams going? PM if anybody is aware of any. I only want to see Froome lose time; it's for a good cause.

Chuffed for De Marchi, he's been on the attack everywhere for the last two months it seems.

Okay, which one of you was this: http://fittish.deadspin.com/cyclists-confuse-laundry-soap-for-sports-drink-end-up-1628569741/+tcraggs22quote:Six cyclists preparing to start a race in Østlendingen, Norway, were hospitalized today after they all drank laundry detergent, believing it to be some kind of sports drink. They are all fine, so it's OK to laugh.

I had some new sports drink they were giving out after a race a while back and I'm thinking it was the same stuff in retrospect. I am NOT Norwegian though

Igor Decraene (Junior World Time Trial Champion) died, according to RTBF it was due to a road accident, but VRT is speculating that it might be suicide.
