So this is the same thing as La Course? Also organized by ASO?

Apparently the world tour winners have already been decided and they are not in this race. Quality.

What the fuck is the Madrid Challenge?

And translation:

It's so cool to get a lot of people
People that people like huh?
A sunny day, a lot of bicycle

And get out there ... let's do it ?!

Bicycle bicycle bicycle
Pedaling with you

On a bicycle bicycle bicycle
Pedaling with you

I do not know, I just want to ride
And walk around
Not sure where to go
Windy wind
Passing people
On the wheel for a ray of sunshine
Become a star.

On bicycle
I'm going to ride my bicycle

Pedaling with you
I always go slowly
Because I do not want to see
This dream is over
Kidding
Climb uphill
Then release the brake
And come down like a comet

On bicycle bicycle bicycle
Pedaling with you

I'll drop my handlebars.
To get your attention
Until you understand
That I'm standing in you

Pedaling with you
I always go slowly
Because I do not want to see
This dream is over
Kidding
Climb uphill
Then release the brake
And come down like a comet

On bicycle bicycle bicycle
Pedaling with you

On a bicycle
I'm going to ride my bicycle

Pedaling with you
On a bicycle
Pedal pedal
On the bicycle
Pedaling with you

The Tour is the biggest prize for a pro cyclist, it’s the biggest event we have on the calendar. But, for me, the Vuelta represents a different kind of bike Racing. It’s more of a physical challenge than the Tour, given the number of finishes on mountains, the aggression and the conditions. Over the three weeks we’ve had days of over 40 degrees, days like today when it’s 10 degrees and raining, extremely strong winds. It’s such a brutal race".

“I gave absolutely everything I had today. This was an extremely fitting way for Alberto to say goodbye to pro cycling. He’s an extremely aggressive rider and to have attacked before the final climb on the last descent and to keep the lead to the finish… What can I say other than “chapeau”?. He’s a rider who brings so much flair, so much aggression to the races. For sure it’s going to be easier for me when he’s not around, but at the same time I have to respect what he did today. It was extremely fitting before his home crowd. Adios!".

Last lap my dudes.

Looks like a sprint as expected.

CRASHING THIS RACE

>>78178769
Actually, I'm in favor of Froome winning green jersey, because it will spice up snooze fest that is last stages of grand tours. Also, 100% guaranteed drama after the stage from Quick Step and others.

Froome really is a savage competitor isn't he?

Were he only a better one day rider, we might mention him in the same breath as Merckx, Hinault, etc.

Although I imagine after he gets his 5th tour we might see him branch out a bit more. Would be fun to see him put on a bit of mass and win WC ITT or even a hilly WC RR. Have a go at Lombardia, etc.

Of course who knows how many years he has left, and it's more likely they try to go for six Tours and maybe another Tour-Vuelta double or two.

He's already put on some weight, Brailsford told him to eat a couple of years ago, he was too insane even for Sky. He's definitely getting stronger and the climbing is down a bit.

The voice from the telescreen was still pouring forth its tale of tour wins and booty and slaughter, but the shouting outside had died down a little. The waiters were turning back to their work. One of them approached with the gin bottle. Anon, sitting in a blissful dream, paid no attention as his glass was filled up. He was not running or cheering any longer. He was back in the Ministry of Sky, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. The longhoped-for bullet was entering his brain.

He gazed up at the enormous face. Six years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark skeletal grin. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Froome.

goodnight spee

>>78180002
Replace Indurain with Contador and we are ok.
Indurain almost never attacked in the mountains and 'only' won 2 Giro's and no home race.

Anyone here for the WC?
