For Oldfart. No preview or anything. Just #Excitement. In future, if you want something done, do it yourself 
Or too late?

I think Tommy D will put 2'30'' into Purito and Aru and 1'30 into Majka. |

How do you end up putting that on tv, it's not like they just missed a decimal?!

Hoping Dumolin ism' time trailing his best because of the mountain challenges, not because I don't want him to challenge for GC (but go Rodriguez  ) but I am really dreaming that Sylvain Chavenal could win the stage.
With Schleck and De Marchi taking stages and Orica riding well (Chaves having some time in red and stages for him and Ewan) and the excitement  Pretty much the second best grand tour I've ever seen (behind 2011 tour )
And go Purito!

I just want to see Purito win a grand tour. Hope he puts in a good ride today. Though, l think we will see Dumoulin wearing red at stage end. |

Been a relatively dull Vuelta for me. I liked it up until stage 15 and 16 which reminded me of the atrocity of Giro 2012. I think Aru and Quintana really wanted to (they have attacked a lot, but Aru has only been able to do it once, while Quintana hasnt been close to anything), but they simply havent been able. Couple that with Froome and Nibali abandons, Landa not riding GC, Rodriguez (especially when not at 100%) general Tour fatigue etc and we have an extremely close field which pretty much only can race a steady pace.
For me, I think its pretty boring, I would rather watch a domination than 10 riders getting into the last kilometer. I like the mountain stages to be decided by the best and not within the last K all the time. I dont really think you can blame the route since they have created 2 good stages with lots of opportunities to go before the last climb.. But for this TT, its obviously a good thing, but not a good GT at all from my perspective I must admit |

Looking forward to this stage. Although he's the one favourite who I want to do well it would have to take something pretty special from Rodriguez to retain red today. Aru has a better chance but Dumoulin has to be favourite to take the lead. Then again, third week of the Vuelta and coming off a rest day, just about anything could happen.

Oliveira looking amazing. Good bet for a stage win Tommy D aside.
Nevermind 52 secs down on Bodnar.

Van den Broeck disappointing in a GT, what are the odds?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Please do not forget that this is GT 3rd week ITT. They are always different/weird stages.
Edit: Dumoulin position looks still stunning. |
