Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana
A 2.Pro little lumpy run about that other autonomous Spanish region. Home to Horchata apparently, which is delicious. Velogames and general musings.
Like how I hope Vlasov is in good form even though that's a total question mark. Will we see any fantastic descending by Bilbao and Basques since there's no reason to test fate in this 2.Pro?
I didn't add Girmay nor Kooij to my VG team, I hope to be shown how much of a mistake that was. I wonder about my JV pick of Michel Hessmann. Haven't heard anything about this guy, seems talented. I've three Americans in Craddock, McNulty, Joyce.

I dropped Kooij from my VG team in my one adjustment. It bodes well for him today. They're just going through 10k as I type.

Keka 76, our stoic nemesis, leaps to the front in our little BF league.
I see our VG GC podium as of stage 2 is Team Giulio. I was torn between Ciccone and little Kenny, ultimately leading to indecision and my Trek-less team. Trek was OK with that. Prego.
Perhaps for old time's sake, the (s)pokes went for Bauke, the man that was named underwater. Will it pay off? Stay tuned.

Me neither!
It's a dog eat dog world, and Vitor Barsocchi is wearing Milk Bone underwear beneath his Iron Butterfly. A strong showing by Sr. Xuxo today lifted him to the GC lead today in our little league of misfits.

Oof shenanigans! Obviously because I should've chosen Gloag apparently! Vlasov is looking good. I wonder what Lawson was thinking - but I think if he had stayed it would've spooked the group into catching the break 150%. He's climbing well which is awesome.
Tao is looking good!

Congratulations to Rui Costa for his big stage 5 and the GC win. And to Fabio Xuxo for grabbing the top step of our misfit league plus a top 5% showing in the GenPop.
