    Vuelta Stage 21: Arroyomolinos → Madrid - 118km

    Funny how these things affect people differently. My estimation of Froome has gone way, way up. Great stuff. Caveat. Still hate Sky.

    Why do I get the feeling that this is going to turn into a Sky procession again?

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2017 (04/06 > 11/06/2017)

    Can LRP really maintain this sort of form all the way to the third week of the Tour?

    Landa's going to struggle to *** this one up.

    Giro 2017, stage 9: Montenero di Bisaccia - Blockhaus 149 km

    Looking at that time gap staying put, it looks like Thomas had some decent form.
