Rather nice, today. All relaxed, easy paced. Plenty of greenery and an odd coloured sky!
Harmon has said that Horner is joining Team Zimmer.

Just catching up after a 2-week absence so have no idea of start list.
My new (French) lady hates Dopestrong, knew the Vuelta is on and asked me if Conquistador is riding.
Hommedesbois is in love (again)

Is it on British ES now then? International has women't football or something equally important  I have TDP online and TVE on TV. Two different Spanish commentaries

Bad news - a well-known Catalan cyclist was hit by a car and killed on his way to see the Vuelta this morning.

Brit ES have the full coverage, most days, unlike International.
A first.
Rabo on the charge, but Sean says it's too flat for Oscar and they don't like the finish if it's "scrappy".....

Aren't we all FPing well? KOD disease has spread to all.
Could be more abandons than in the race.
Pretty much as expected, but a peloton split.
