Awesome performance by Sunweb to be on par with QS, but what else would you expect from a Kämna-led team?

Thinking here why at Vuelta is more fun race then Tour. Even Froome is more fun racer there..lot of man against man situations. |

The same goes for the Giro, the Tour is big money and more important. So nobody takes chances.
The thing i like about the Vuelta is that you never know who is going to be good. It's so open

Victory ceremony at a bloody Bull fighting arena.
How damn bad taste is that.
A sport that should be damned World wide and not put forward like this. Handing them a "happy" bull to boot really sick. Guess happy bulls are the last you encounter.
Vuelta officials and city of Nimes. Shame on you.

Germans had tradition of burning Jews. You should respect it as well. |

75 comments needed for Godwin's law. Pretty good for a cycling thread, imo.

Mate, I'm not really sure that all traditions should be respected. Guess few respected Confederate State for their traditions long time ago.
I normally do respect most things but not animal cruelty in any shape or form. It should be left as history on the dark side.
Now don't let this be a fire thing and let it rest my good friend.
(Lets say I didn't like the fox hunts in UK either)
But not get deep inside this problem. I just felt it was bad taste.

Little fun fact, the average ages for the relevant finishers of the podium teams:
| BMC | 29,3 | | Quickstep | 26,2 | | Sunweb | 23,2 |
Pretty hard to imagine a younger team has ever been Top 3 in a GT TTT. For three of their five riders, this was the first grand tour stage in their lives.
