    Rest Day 1: Who will win La Vuelta?

    Really? I've been amazed by quintanas time trialling the last 2 seasons. I would think he'll probably gain a handful of seconds on contador. I expect froome to be in red on tuesday night

    2014 Vuelta a Espana, Stage 6: Benalmádena → La Zubia

    He will. I'm sure Evans has enough clout left in the team to get a free role. At least until he fails

    2014 Vuelta a Espana, Stage 6: Benalmádena → La Zubia

    This +1. Wonder how the bmc leadership dynamic will look if Evans takes 20-30secs on samu today. Hard to see him slowing down to play the good teammate, but totally agree that Evans' gc hopes are futile

    2014 Tour de France, Stage 8: Tomblaine – Gerardmer/La Mauselaine: 161km

    The next 2 weeks are a fans' wet dream! 2 very aggressive riders in comparable form and a 3rd wild card. I give a slight edge to contador going uphill, but nothing like what we expected pre-race. Nibali has clearly timed his form beautifully and one could expect him to gain some time downhill...

    2014 Tour de France, Stage 5: Ypres – Arenberg Porte du Hainaut: 156km

    Great news for the race that nibs is getting time here. Looks like he could get 2mins+

    2014 Tour de France, Stage 5: Ypres – Arenberg Porte du Hainaut: 156km

    Contador vs froome was the main event everyone was looking forward to. Now we've got a much less intriguing race. Entirely warranted reaction imo.

    2014 Tour De France stage 1: Leeds › Harrogate (190.5km)

    Never heard if the AC joint? Common sporting injury. Dislocation is very common on a bike

    2014 Tour de Suisse: Stage 8: Delémont→Verbier (219 Km)

    Mathias Frank ftw. Costa not far off... 20s?

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 8, Megève - Courchevel Le Praz (131.5 km)

    Ironically, contador taking the GC lead yesterday cost him the race. Had froome retained the lead, sky never would have let a break like this go. Contador would easily have taken the time from froome today and... Bingo!

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 8, Megève - Courchevel Le Praz (131.5 km)

    According to steephill there should have been coverage at 15.25. Cant find anything for my region though...

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 8, Megève - Courchevel Le Praz (131.5 km)

    No way they're getting that break back. Talansky has this zipped up. Well played. Terrible work by tinkoff-saxo... Should be hanging their heads

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 12 Barbaresco → Barolo 41,9 km ITT

    What role do you guys think risk-taking on the descents will play? Who will be prepared to crash for those few extra seconds?

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 12 Barbaresco → Barolo 41,9 km ITT

    The bookies like Evans... How well do they normally read the tea leaves?

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 12 Barbaresco → Barolo 41,9 km ITT

    I think Evans will just pip uran, 20-30 seconds in it. Quintana at least another minute back. Hard to know where majka, pozzovivo will end up... Somewhere between uran & nairo I guess
