Watching the Vuelta, they’re doing all my local climbs. Albeit a tad faster than I do them…

Bertie FTW!

Did they just say that they’re riding with a 38:32? 32 on the sprocket? 😯

yup

The last bit’s a bit on the steep side!

Now let’s sort the men from the boys.

Love the way they have to push them once they cross the line…

Most excellent.

Bertie’s won it then, Valverde 2nd and Rodders 3rd.

Fromie got off his bike, see that.. Hahaha

been some mental climbs this year…..really enjoyed the racing, best 3-week tour for a long time!

at what point would it be quicker to have gripped soles, get off any run?

It’s been brill, will not know what to watch when it’s over. 2hrs coverage per night would be nice.

Tour of Britain starts tomorrow, ITV4, doubt it will be quite the same…

Lols at least I will be within touching distance of Brad and Cav on Tuesday.

Think I’m going to have ride up the Bola del Mundo, just to see how bad it is. Coward that I am, I’ll avoid the other 4 mountains they did beforehand 🙂

So Dirty Bertie and Alejandro Valdirty first and second?!

That’s really clever and funny. Genuine Lolling here, it’s hilarious. 😆

😆 @ AA!

And, in honour of Dirty Bertie’s win, I’m having steak tonight. Here’s hoping I don’t fall foul of the contrôle antidopage after climbing the Col du Blackfriars tomorrow.

So, a cheat wins the Vuelta in the same summer that a cheat wins the Olympic road race. Not the best for the image of cycling. In fact, far from it.

Its a shame the dope head won it though.

Closing music on today’s stage, what was the band?

Was it “Sorted for ee’s and whiz” by Pulp? Please say it was I have it recorded
