    really looking forward to this. The Vuelta is my favourite of the Grand Tours ... yes even more so than the TdF :-)

    I agree. It's a lot better race for action and entertainment.

    Who do you think might win? Nib's is always going to be in the top 3.

    I haven't really looked into the start list properly yet as I'm sure there are some pretty dark horses in there. As for Nibali I really do not like him (I know that doesn't mean he wont be up there but I hope not). I will get back to you once I take a good look :-) Who are you routing for?

    Well, like the Giro, at least it isn't bought with Sky's £millions:

    Year Giro Tour Vuelta

    2012 Hesjedal A drug cheat Contador

    2013 Nibali Froome Horner

    2014 Quintana Nibali Contador

    2015 Contador Froome Aru

    2016 Nibali Froome Quintana

    2017 Dumoulin Froome ?

    Interesting GB on your choice of words for the 2012 Tour winner.
    I agree it probably was a substance to improve performance and sanctions should have been applied.

    BUT

    You have Steak bite in on 3 occasions who was proven beyond any reasonable doubt to have been a CHEAT.

    Come on Sir, your a man that always deals in facts.

    Wiggans? The poor man's Weller. Doped, overrated and rubbish

    Anyway they are all on drugs. All the winners and all our heroes. And they have been since long before Team Sky. Before Joss' dog was a pup. Before Breezy met Eric Clapton. Before Elvis. Before the war(s). Forever. Ask Chris Leigh. He's the man. He knows about it

    Oh dear, another Spanish steak eater.
    Samuel Sanchez tests positive and has been suspended for BMC.
