We’re just into our second week of Vuelta 2019 – so why not have a look at the crazy first week. We had mudbaths and unfeasibly large bikes; new guys winning, conti teams in red; plus our favourite dysfunctional family, Movistar. It’s Vuelta TWEETS OF THE WEEK !
Wildcards go wild!
The Vuelta always throws up something unexpected – this edition, it’s the wildcards that are getting all the attention. And rightly so!
I have to say, he’s right about this
When you wake up from a mid-stage nap and it’s all about Cofidis
Meanwhile, next year …
Some of the young’uns
You can use Pogacar’s name like a mantra …
Movistar – cycling’s favourite dysfunctional family!
‘You’re on a great ride! You could win the stage! … Oh, hold on. Wait for Nairo, wait for Nairo!’
The obligatory apology …
The cat’s been out of the bag for some time but it’s now confirmed … Quintana to Arkea Samsic
Some mighty big ambitions here …
A giant bike
We love Esteban Chaves – and we love his healthy perspective on racing.
Mudbath
The apocalyptic weather on Sunday’s stage meant that we didn’t see the gravel section of the stage. But we did find some footage.
The Gruppetto
Not often you hear the leader’s jersey described as a consolation prize. But Jasper kept it for good in the Tour of Germany.
Uncanny
Quite the poet, is Barbie …
Tattoo you
Mountain biking with Sagan and Oss – I see a Discovery Channel programme in here somewhere
Sending healing hopes to Rigo
The Worlds are coming …
