Odd Christian Eiking is such an enjoyable name, I sometimes like to say it out loud to myself when I'm alone for comfort and reassurance. "Odd Christian Eiking"

Kind of like Jose Maria Olazabal.

Rog is the spiritual leader of the Vuelta.

The spiritual leader says that only the leader after the last stage matters (Pogi agrees).

There is no way Matthews can keep up with a Cort on a climb while he is in this form.

What ? Cort dropped before Matthews on the final climb in the stage.

Not surprising considering he had been in the break two days in a row in the stages before, he wasn't planning on going all out yesterday but it ended up being there for the taking anyway.

Matthews is currently climbing at a good level and no worse than Cort - Matthews has finished 5th in LBL which i doubt Cort could achieve.

Strongly disagree on current form, on Wednesday Cort lost little time to a chasing peleton on an 9 km kategori 2 climb after having done most of the work in the breakaway, don't see Matthews being able to do similar.
