Of course he will do the Vuelta. Why not? Anyone can see he is not tired at all. Even after obliterating the rest of the world's best cyclists. Lol.

I mean yeah, you are right, albeit on a slightly different point. I rather meant it should be obvious even to a layperson that all these riders are on them (but especially the top ones), to one degree or another. Due to no one being (naturally) above the laws of human physiology. Pidcock's an...
