That finish climb is insane

a couple of the guys were doing the zigzag across the course to ease the gradient. Wow.

Good for Vingegaard. Couple of non-GC stages, then a mountain stage Saturday. At least I can go on a long ride Saturday morning and not have to rush back to see what I may have missed.

Sepp and Rodriguez went down hard on a descent. Both came up bloodied, eyes/nose bleeding. Looked like a horror movie. Yikes.

Good stage today. A good way to head into Paris.

Good stage to finish off the mountains.

Was pulling for Pinot. He’s an OG. Gonna miss Paul saying, “he has the whole of France behind him!”, especially on Bastille Day. He is one of those guys that is always going for it.

Pogacar getting the win. Great racing and tactics. I gotta imagine Simone Yates helped his brother to get back up to Tedaj on the final climb.

Rodriguez leaving the blood dripping down his face, elbow and knee… respect. Sepp went face first into the pavement. Toughest SOBs on the planet.

I don't have the words to describe what it is these guys endure for 3 weeks.

Philipsen has to be the big favorite in today's stage, right.

And American Sepp Kuss wins the Vuelta.

Amazing.
