I already love this Vuelta more than the tour. Great start!
I'm especially glad that it is my leadout train which makes the difference to the next teams after all my attempts to build a monster leadout.
@ brewers: 
@ Ollfardh : Don't worry. Geyer will never be a dominant rider with just 6 pot. He'll be more of a Gallopin / Boasson Hagen I guess but due to his all round strength he will not be close to the best in any given discipline.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

@brewers: The reason Kittel wins is rather his strong leadout than his stats. In all Vuelta sprint stages so far at least Greipel seemed faster than Kittel. In general that's often the case. I just don't know what's wrong with Cavendish, he basically has the same stats as Greipel, but compared he totally sucks in the results then..

Not too bad of a start for Costa and the team.

It has been a very entertaining Vuelta, but all good things must come to an end. Thank you for the reports, I'll see my points soon 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Cant win every sprint stage as a second place is good as well. It was nice to have the leaders jersey until stage 4. With some more sprinter friendly stages coming early Kittel is in a good position for the point jersey fight.
It was obvious that stage 4 would not be our stage but it's cool to have someone in the attacking groups!

Great results for knockout there.  Brewers can't have a world of complaints, his lead-out team can't match the Germans. Still he should be on the podium pretty much all the time.
Gilbert on the move, a great stage tomorrow could see him in yellow. But VDB losing a 1'00 to some podium contenders is frightful.
Great we are up with the Vuelta. |

So it has begun.. Purito sprinting to a 9th place on stage 1 is reassuring.

There is so much happening right now, pretty nice to see that pace Thanks guys.
Bouhanni is on fire right now. König was pretty bad in Course de la Paix, but that was just his warm-up for La Vuelta - and there he seems to be good in shape.
Ranking-wise it looks pretty good for the PT crown. And maybe we can even do the double by winning Prestige too.
- But at first we need a good Vuelta which won't be too easy as I only brought Nizzolo and König.

lol 7th overall, sure you can go in the breakaway today XD
Kiserlovski doing alright, 10th right now but needs to improve cause he's missing each favorite group so far.

Simon Yates winning, Jonny McEvoy getting top 10s in the Vuelta. Nothing changes. Even managing to throw away the white jersey with stupidity too.
Welcome to Bunzl.
Great race so far for BG Academy at home. Getting guys in the break has to be the aim and Byrne did great on stage 1. Hoping Dibben or Doull can get in a successful break in the next couple of stages.

What is this? Gilbert, one of the several best on the flat, dropped. Somehow the Russians are outscoring us here and topping us in the GC. What are Gazprom on? I don't want to know. Filth.
What a farce. |

Hallelujah. Praise be to the Church of Shonak.
The only downside is my Dev Team humiliating my main team. AGAIN.

ToB stage 3 was pretty brutal, Kwiatkowski owned it. Julien Simon's 2nd place on stage 4 saving a lackluster ToB performance for Eurosport, hope Dumoulin can find some form for the ITT.

Purito in Top 10 in 7 out of 8 stages so far. Guy is a beast.
