I'm not sure I like this way to end the Vuelta. The champs elysees is usually fun, but that doesn't mean the vuelta must imitate it every year. A short TT like in Milano would be fun. Or something else entirely.

Just finish somewhere else, you don't have to finish in Madrid every year... that being said, next year or in 2013 they're going to finish on the Canary Islands.

A finish in Basque Country would have been great

A long, hilly stage where you might actually win or lose the race might be nice. They have finished in san sebastian before, for instance?

Some last meters of pulling for Herrn Lang. :(

Bye, bye Seppel. Great domestique and very stylish on his bike, especially on his TT bike.
Don't really know if this is his last raceday, but I think so.

Gogulski (commentator) just attributed Froome's sudden turnaround to coaching from Bobby Julich. Interesting.

On the question of this stage in Madrid, I like it. They do need to do something more selective in the last week, though.
