The entry list shows the "Tourminator" will be in the Vuelta, but I still have not seen anything from him or Bora.

Elia Viviani's form seems to be improving. Surprised to not see Ewing able to contest the sprint today.

Wish Alaphilippe was riding in the Vuelta instead of committing to the other race in Spain ...that he abandoned after 90 km. (Remco Evenepoel won the race, btw.) By all accounts from the link below, seems as if he HAD to participate in it for whatever reason. Why?

A lot of the TdF guys cited "fatigue" as the reason for abandoning.
Other notable abandons include Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott), Mikel Landa (Movistar), Tiesj Benoot and Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal).

I think it will be a GC slug fest but a bit of a short bus program for the sprints. Oh well. That's their program.

Olympic channel starting Saturday...live. Last parts of the stage but I'd rather that than paying for Gold.

It comes down to $4/month though and is worth it for the spring classics.

I'm just the opposite. I'd like to see far less climbing and more emphasis put on courses that would favor all-rounders. It's a shame, that arguably the greatest cyclist of the last several years, Sagan, will never stand a chance at winning a GC because the majority of the stages in a tour favor the climbers.

A great tour stage last year was Arras to Roubaix, where Degenkolb won.
